The Fairgrounds is hosting one of ODFW's Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) check stations -- The check station is open 9am to dusk and is located near the Grandstands.

ODFW staff will be sampling animals for this deadly disease recently detected in Idaho near Oregon’s northeast border. New this year, hunters transporting deer, elk or other wildlife parts who encounter a CWD check station are required to stop to have their animal sampled (per HB 3152 passed by Oregon’s legislature last year). Hunters or vehicles that are not transporting wildlife carcasses or parts do not need to stop. Hunters are also not required to go out of their way to drive by a check station, though ODFW encourages every hunter transporting a deer or elk to stop by if they are in the area.
