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 blank and enclose a copy of current health papers and a $2 entry fee per animal with entry form.
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, 3 PM to 9PM.
A current health certificate must be shown to the superintendent prior to unloading animals, and the superintendent will make a health inspection for conformity to state health regulations before allowing an animal to be penned or remain on the grounds
Animal bedding will be provided upon arrival.
Animals should be reasonably clean and trimmed.
Farm displays, pen decorations, and any other creative ideas to attract interest and educate the public about sheep 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.
Dressing for showmanship 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.
