Let’s Eat Have Fun & Celebrate the Red, White & Blue during the 77 th Annual Sacramento County Fair
May 23-27, 2013
Dear Exhibitor:
Welcome to the 2013 Sacramento County Fair! We have a FANTASTIC, EXCITING Fair
planned for you this year. We are thrilled you have decided to enter YOUR county Fair. This
year’s Fair dates are May 23-27, 2013 and the theme is Let’s Eat, Have Fun & Celebrate the
Red, White & Blue. Please help us spread the word to all your friends and family. We are
working diligently to increase our attendance, but need our entire Fair family to help us
promote the Fair.
The Sacramento County Fair continues to go through change due to the lack of state funding.
In the past, Sacramento County Fair received a significant portion of our budget from the State
of California. In 2011 Governor Brown zeroed out all Fair funding and this year’s State budget
includes no funding for California Fairs.
In order to continue to provide our exhibitors with the same awards, premiums and classes we
have mounted an aggressive sponsorship program. Remember, it is less expensive to enter
online with a $5.00 fee and if your entry is mailed/delivered it is a $10.00 fee per exhibitor.
Last year we had a great fair. Our attendance increased by 40%, our food vendors increased by
32% and our carnival had a record year. Keeping with the goals of the Board of Directors, youth
education is our primary focus. Our 2012 school tours and Farm Garden In A Wheelbarrow
program educated 11,000 school age children. We continue to work to decrease expenses and
are working to increase our volunteer base during the fair. This year all animals will be
represented by a volunteer chairperson. If you would like to get involved please call the office.
Our carnival partner Midway of Fun is offering a $29.50 wristband that will be good all week
for carnival rides. Please see the attached flyer. Wristbands must be purchased at time of entry.
We appreciate your understanding and support during these tough budgetary times. The Board
of Directors and staff are working to assemble the best entertainers, shows and exhibits during
the 77th annual Sacramento County Fair. If you have any questions, please call the Fair office we
look forward to assisting you with ANY of your Fair needs or questions.
See You In May,
PJF

Superintendent within 12 hours of the citation being issued. The exhibitor will formulate and
initiate a plan of correction approved by the Livestock Superintendent. Reasonable efforts will be
made by the Superintendent to contact the exhibitor’s advisor, parent or designee and advise them
of the situation resulting in the Red Tag citation.

issued another citation.

All exhibitors are required to write a thank you note for awards, for add-ons and to buyers. Thank you card
packets will be available at the livestock office for $3 per packet. The packet includes a stamp, an envelope
and card. If exhibitors would like to bring their own thank you cards, a stamp is required.
The Sacramento County Fair Foundation (SCFF) will be supplying the card packets. Any proceeds from
the card packet sales will go back to the SCFF. The SCFF benefits the educational and youth livestock
programs hosted at the Sacramento County Fair.
Thank you cards must be turned into the Livestock Office before animal or tack releases will be granted or
Junior Livestock Auction checks sent. Add-on names will be available on Monday, May 27th from the
livestock advisors/leaders. Advisors/leaders may pick up their lists of add-on at 11:00 a.m. on May 27th.
In lieu of purchasing gifts for a buyer, exhibitors may make a comparable donation in the buyer’s name to
the SCFF (i.e., if you would usually spend $20 on a buyer’s gift, that money may instead be made out in the
form of a donation to SCFF and the buyer will be notified a donation was made in his or her name. No
donation is considered too small or inappropriate). Notification that a donation was made will be
indicated in the thank you card to the buyer, but not the actual price amount. The Fair and the SCFF
are in no way discouraging buyer appreciation, but instead trying to perpetuate our Fair by offering a
solution to those buyers who get inundated by gifts. Also, this gives the sellers who do not have the means
or forethought to purchase a gift the opportunity to give special thanks to their buyer. This solution has the
most impact on both the buyer and the Fair! The procedure is time tested at many fairs with overwhelming
support of both sellers and the buyers. Thank you for being part of the Sacramento County Fair
Livestock Program. We appreciate your support and hope you understand why this new rule is so
important to both buyers and sellers.
All Market Classes will be judged using the Danish & American JudgingSystem of Judging. All
Breeding and Showmanship classes will be judged using the American System of Judging.
The judges may disqualify or transfer to the correct division (at his/her discretion) any exhibit that is not a
true representative of the division or class in which it is entered.
If there is only one animal in a class, it will be up to the judge’s discretion to award first place to that
animal in Registered Breeding Classes. If less than five entries are entered in a class, Fair Management
reserves the right to combine classes to insure proper competition.
Feeder animals that make market weight cannot show in a market class, they must remain in a feeder class
and will not be eligible for sale.
For classes that combine 4-H, FFA, Grange and Independent Junior animals, the judge will designate only
one overall highest placing animal, i.e. Champion or Reserve Champion, Best of Breed or Best of Opposite
Sex.
Checks for monetary awards won will be mailed to the address recorded on the exhibitor’s entry form. Be
sure your name and address are correct and clearly written on your entry forms. All FFA monetary awards
will be mailed to the FFA advisor.
Checks become void after 90 days from the date of issue. Requests for checks to be reissued will be subject
to a $35 handling fee. Requests for a check to be reissued after 18 months will be denied.
All ribbons will be awarded at time of judging.
The judge’s decision on awards cannot be protested. Protests will be considered only if there has been a
violation of State or Local Rules. All protests must be presented to Management of the Fair in writing
within 24 hours of the alleged violation and must be accompanied by a $100.00 deposit (cash, money order,
or certified check), or $200.00 if the protest relates to a violations of State Rules X-XI, which will be
returned if the protest is determined valid. Protests and appropriate action are decided by the Fair
Management/Fair Board of Directors. If protests cannot be resolved with the Board of Directors, the
Division of Fairs and Expositions may intervene.

Market Animals Exceeding the

Market animals exceeding the maximum weight will be placed in a special weight category designated as “super

However, the seller will only be paid for the maximum weight listed in the Exhibitor’s Guide as follows: Page 77

Beef
Sheep
Swine
Goat
Pay Weight
1350 lbs.
140lbs.
265 lbs.
105 lbs.
The Sacramento County Fair places minimum and maximum weights on market animals to be consistent with
packer demands and consumer trends. We adjust these weights from year to year according to what the packer
needs. A maximum weight was placed by the packer on hogs exceeding 280 pounds. Hogs weighing over 280
pounds are not eligible to show in a regular market class or sell in the auction. Goats weighting over 115
pounds are not eligible to show in a regular market class or sell in the auction They can be shown in the
showmanship class. In the future, packer demands may dictate that beef and lambs follow the same “maximum”
weight criteria. If you would like more information contact the County Fair office.
