WATERFORD - The hog sale is the centerpiece of the annual Waterford Community Fair, and that's not expected to change when it kicks off Thursday, despite reports of multiple cases of humans catching a mild strain of swine flu from hogs at a pair of fairs in Ohio.
The Cuyahoga County Fair has canceled all swine-related exhibits in the wake of an Ohio Department of Health announcement that 15 human cases of the H3N2 virus had been confirmed - 14 related to the Butler County Fair and one contracted by a Clark County resident at the Ohio State Fair.
Last Wednesday, the state Health Department announced an additional 15 cases had been confirmed, with two more each in Butler and Clark counties, along with four in Gallia, four in Greene and four in Hamilton County. Those affected have been between 6 months and 36 years old.
