To ensure a safe, fair, and successful fair experience, all exhibitors are required to follow the Livestock, Small Animal & Poultry Rules. Entries must be owned by the exhibitor and submitted by the deadline through online, email, mail, or in-person options.

Exhibitors are responsible for the care, feeding, and cleanliness of their animals, while also following all class requirements and timelines. Safety is a top priority, with guidelines in place for handling animals, judging procedures, and barn conduct.

All livestock activities are overseen by designated coordinators, and proper clean-up of stalls and areas is required following the fair. By following these rules, exhibitors help maintain a positive, organized, and enjoyable environment for everyone involved.
