Live spay/neuters done by veterinarians, aided by certified veterinary technicians. Minnesota veterinarian speakers narrate the surgery, answer questions, and educate the public on pet overpopulation. Forty-eight spay and neuter operations are performed during the fair; cats and dogs from local humane societies/animal rescues are then offered for adoption at their respective locations after the fair.
