Mail in entry forms as soon as possible, since space is limited. We wish to accommodate as many exhibitors as possible, so the number of animals each exhibitor may bring may be limited.
Please indicate breed of animal on entry form and enclose a copy of current health papers with entry form along with an entry fee of $2 per animal.
Entries will be accepted after July 25th only, and close when pens are full.
There is a limit of 10 animals per family and/or farm.
Animals may be penned Friday, 2PM - 9PM
A current health certificate must be shown to the superintendent prior to unloading animals, and the superintendent will make a health inspection for conformance to state health regulations before allowing an animal to be penned or remain on the grounds.
Animal bedding will be provided upon arrival.
Farm displays, pen decorations, and any other creative ideas to attract interest and educate the public about Dairy Goats will be greatly appreciated.
Please keep the area in front of the pens clear of soiled bedding, and maintain farm displays in good condition for the duration of the fair.
Breed Classes will be determined by entries.
Goat breeds other than dairy may be entered in senior, junior and group classes at the discretion of the owner.
There will be no pre-show milk-out. However, any animal showing excessive udder distension will be excused from the show ring.
Dressing in dairyman whites, and fitting the animals for show is NOT required, but is encouraged and appreciated.
Animals must remain on the Fairgrounds until 5pm Monday.
Exhibitors are required to rake out pens prior to leaving the fair.
