2. The fair management reserves the
right to amend or add to these rules and regulations at its judgment may
determine.
3. Reasonable care will be taken to
protect all exhibits, exhibitors and spectators from all injury and
damage, but the Fair is not, in any way, to be held responsible for
negligence on the part of spectators and exhibitors. Accidents, loss or
damage of exhibits by water, fire, theft, or otherwise, whatever may be
the cause or extent of the damage or loss, will not be the Fair‘s
responsibility.
4. Entries will be made according to
classification.
5. Premiums, as listed, may be given
for meritorious exhibits. In cases where there is no competition, judges
may give an award such as they deem the exhibit is worthy to receive.
Same rule applies where there are fewer entries in any class than the
number of premiums offered. The judges may, at their discretion, award a
prize or prizes of such grade as the exhibit deserves. The Fair reserves
the right to determine how many entries they will accept from any
exhibitor in the same class or, in case of livestock, the same breed.
The decision of the judges shall be final in all cases except where
mistakes, fraud, misrepresentation or collusion, not discovered at the
time of the award, is proved. In such cases, the Superintendent, Manager
or Secretary of the fair show, or such referee as he may appoint, may
make the decision with his approval. The case may be appealed to the
Fair Management of Show Commission from whose decision there can be no
appeal. 6. It shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor to make known
the proper name of the article or breed of livestock he is entering. Any
item entered improperly will be disqualified to receive a prize but the
judges will make the correct name on the entry tag for the benefit of
the owner so that the same mistake in entering need not be made for the
second time.
7. All entries must be grown or
produced by the exhibitor since the last fair.
8. Superintendents of a Department
reserve the right to refuse acceptance of any entry. Furthermore, the
superintendents reserve the right to bar from competition animals,
vegetables, flowers, and manufactured articles of decidedly inferior
quality and those not possessing sufficient merit to warrant
recognition.
9. The Fair Management may, at any
time, order the removal of any exhibit or part of exhibit in bad
condition and any article unfit to show may be excluded. No exhibit may
be removed before 9 p.m. Saturday except by consent of the management.
10. Exhibits not picked up my midnight
Saturday will be disposed of at the discretion of the superintendent.
11. Every exhibit accepted for premiums
MUST BE GIVEN AN ENTRY TAG, which must be plainly marked, showing THE
NAME OF THE EXHIBIT. In the case of livestock, the breed name must be
given on cards large enough that the breed name is readily identified by
the viewers or, if the livestock is grouped together according to
breeds, one large sign to designate the group will be satisfactory.
However, the award ribbons must be placed on the stall or pen of the
individual winners for the duration of the Fair or show. Failure to
comply with this regulation WILL RESULT IN FORFEITURE OF PREMIUMS. It
will be the duty of the Fair or Show officials to see that this
regulation is complied with. Where award ribbons are stolen or
destroyed, the exhibit may receive a duplicate at the close of the fair
or show, which shall be supplied by the fair free of charge. No claims
for premiums or other awards will be honored after December 31.
12. During the judging, buildings,
except livestock arenas, are to be closed to everyone except fair
officials, judges, and necessary attendants. No exhibitor or his agent
shall communicate with the judge during time of determining the awards,
except to answer questions proposed by the judges. Any exhibitor
interfering with the judges while making awards shall forfeit any
premium to which he would otherwise be entitled.
13. All livestock offered for premiums
must be the property of the owners thirty (30) days or longer.
14. No person shall be allowed in the
ring while stock is being judged, except judges, Superintendents and
necessary attendants.
15. Should any animal awarded a prize
be disqualified, the animals gaining the lower prizes shall move into
the next higher position if, in the opinion of the judges, the animals
are worthy of such prizes.
16. Overfilling the cattle will be
discriminated against. Any artificial means used to change the form or
shape of an animal will disqualify it from competition.
17.When on exhibition in the ring, each
animal must be under halter and in charge of owner or employee.
18. Joint ownership considered to be as
one owner in accordance with registration papers.
19. The following departments have been

22. No unauthorized persons allowed on

that the names of all persons possessing a night pass are entered each
day on the master list maintained in the fair office.
24. No premiums paid unless the exhibit
is judged.
25. No ticket drawings will be held or
announced in the fair office at any time.
