Any person who violates any of the general or special rules, as published in the catalog, will forfeit all privileges and premiums won and be subject to such penalty as the Board of Directors may order. Failure to comply with these rules and regulations will cause forfeiture of premiums and privileges and will be considered sufficient cause to bar said exhibitor or concessionaire from future participation in the Fair. The Secretary-Manager of the Association shall have supervision and control of all exhibitors during the Fair, whether in the buildings, arena or grounds, and reserves the right to prescribe the dimensions and regulate the position of all signs, control the distribution of advertising matter and direct the arrangements of articles on exhibition so far as same may be necessary to secure harmony and attractive appearance.

Judges & Awards: The right is reserved to withhold the prize awarded in every case in which it shall appear to the Association that the regulations have not been complied with, or that fraud or deception has been attempted or where the article or animal is not worthy, and its decision shall be final and binding on all parties. Judges are especially instructed not to award premiums to any animal or article because of its presence. It must be individually worthy. It is not the policy of the Association to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute premiums equally among exhibitors, and no premium shall be awarded to any animal or article that does not possess high intrinsic merit. Livestock exhibitors MUST keep their space clean and orderly. Also, the aisle ways MUST be kept open. Chairpersons of Departments: Each chairperson of a department will have the arrangement and supervision of all articles and animals in their department and be responsible to the Board of Directors. Each chairperson will see that none but the Judges on duty and officers of the Association are allowed inside the arena while the exhibition is going on. Each Chairperson will afford the Judges every facility for examination, affix the ribbons, and when the Judges are not on duty take charge of the lists. Each Chairperson is expected to exercise great care in preserving and returning the lists of awards, and upon no other authority can premiums be paid. Privilege and Concession People: All Privilege and Concession People, together with their employees, assistants and helpers, must obey the Rules, or any other special regulations of the Association they may be notified, and any refusal or neglect to do so will forfeit any rights they may have had by virtue of such privilege or concessions. This Association reserves the right to refund in whole or in part money paid for privilege or concessions and refuse to allow any party, or article to operate or do business should they or it become objectionable. All property, fixtures, merchandise, etc., the property of privilege or concession people, will be taken on the Grounds at their own risk and kept in such places as the Fair Association designates, and the Association will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft or failure to perform its part of contract, should officers of the law seize, stop or prevent the party from operating or doing business on the Grounds of the Association.

It recognizes that there are certain practices in proper care and management of dairy cattle, which are necessary in the course of moving dairy cattle to and between shows that are advisable to keep them in sound, healthy condition so that they might be presented in the show ring in a natural, normal appearance and condition. Conversely, it recognizes certain practices in the cataloging, handling and presentation of cattle in the show ring which are acceptable. *** NEW SHOW SCHEDULE*** ONE DAY DAIRY SHOW OPEN SHOW JUDGING SATURDAY, AUG. 27, 9:00 a.m. The Junior and Open Shows will be held on Saturday, Aug. 27.
