Forest Service Assistant Commissioner 2 North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Dear Fair Friends, The N.C. State Fair is just around the corner, and I am sure many of you are already busy working on your entries for this year’s competitions. It’s a great time to get ready, and you will find everything you need to know about these competitions in the links on this page. Annually, the N.C. State Fair features thousands of competitions, that allow us to showcase the talents and skills of residents across the state in home canning and food preservation, art, needlecraft and sewing, woodworking, gardening, music and dance, showing livestock, cooking and many more categories. Some competitions are designed for young people, while others are open to everyone. During the fair, I enjoy going through the buildings and looking at the entries. We have some very talented people in the state, and that certainly shows in the quality of items submitted. This year, we have added some new competitions that you may want to consider entering, including two on-the-spot competitions, a Kids Sugar Cube Building Contest for ages 4 through 12, and a Team Cake Decorating Contest, where a team of two will compete in a timed decorating contest. Other new contests include a Pre-Apprentice Pre-Engineering Mobile Robotics Contest and a Cavy Costume Contest. We are also adding a Choral Competition featuring middle and high school choirs, with the contest being held Thursday, Oct. 13, and a Coffee Competition, which is open to licensed N.C.coffee roasters. Even some of our regular contests have been expanded. For example, the N.C. Egg Association’s Egg Art Competition now includes a young artists category for competitors 18 years and younger. There is also a group home category under the exceptional/special needs categories in the Culinary and Handicrafts and Hobbies departments. In the Clothing and Home Furnishings Department, our new Shawls for a Cause and Hats for a Cause categories will benefit local cancer treatment facilities, with entries being donated at the close of the fair. I think this will be a great contest. I hope that when visitors come to the State Fair, they can see through the displays of competitive entries just how proud we are of the people of our great state. The N.C. State Fair is one of the top family-friendly fall events in the state, with food and games, midway rides, fireworks, free grounds acts, music, agricultural displays and much more. There is truly something for everyone. Take the time to find the right competitions for your talents, get started on your latest masterpiece, and we look forward to seeing you at the 2016 N.C. State Fair, October 13-23. Sincerely, Steven W. Troxler Commissioner [email protected] 1001 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1001 (919) 733-7125 Fax: (919)733-1141 TTY: 1-800-735-2962 Voice:1-877-735-8200 An equal opportunity employer 3 North Carolina State Fair Dear Exhibitors, I know many of you are already busy thinking about what to enter in this year’s N.C. State Fair. Winning a ribbon at the State Fair is a dream for many, and for good reason. The competitions are one of our most popular features. To have your entry selected from among hundreds of others from across the state speaks highly of your talents and skills, regardless of the category. It is definitely something to be proud of. As you look through the listings, you will see we have lots of familiar competition categories and we’ve even added some new ones that we are especially excited about. You can find more information about all the competitions on these Web pages. I encourage you to read the information closely to ensure you meet entry deadlines and requirements. We are anticipating many new changes at the fairgrounds this year as we continue to make improvements. We are adding a permanent Sky Lift, which will give fairgoers a birds-eye view of the grounds and transport them from one side to the other. We are also reconstructing the Blacksmith Shop, opening up the Heritage Village area to better access Tobacco Pavilion activities and the exhibits of the N.C. Forest Service and N.C. Soil and Water Conservation. Additionally, the old Hobbies and Handicrafts Building is being torn down and temporarily replaced with a tent this year as part of our long-term plans. All of the changes are designed to make the fair a better experience for our visitors. Please bear with these changes during this transitional period. I want to thank you for being part of what I think is one of the best State Fairs in the country. I look forward to seeing all of your entries. I know they will be great! Please do not hesitate to contact our office anytime with questions or for assistance. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see you at the fairgrounds October 13-23. Sincerely, Wesley V.

A firm, to be entitled to exhibit as such, must have been organized not less than 30 days prior to the closing date for entries, and such firm must have been organized as a bona fide firm for the purpose of producing, or buying and selling the articles or animals it proposes to exhibit in the name of such firm. A firm will be regarded as one exhibitor. Official printed forms or copies of forms MUST BE USED in making applications for entry. Make sure to use the appropriate entry forms for each department. Be sure to fill out the application form completely, accurately and legibly. Give your rural route number, post office box number, or city street address, zip code +4, telephone number, and e-mail address if available. Exhibitors will be allowed to register their exhibits without disclosing a SSN. Exhibitors are fully aware that choosing NOT to disclose their FULL SSN at the time of registration (paper entry forms or online), EVEN IF THE EXHIBITOR HAS SUBMITTED AN ENTRY IN THE PAST, forfeits any and all premium monies to which they were entitled. 14 GENERAL RULES REMEMBER: No article or animals will be entitled to exhibition space until proper entry has been made. No entry will be accepted after the closing date listed for each department. Once an entry is made, it cannot be changed except where it is improperly classed or a mistake has been made in copying the original entry—in which event the changes can be made only with the permission of the Department Superintendent, or Director in charge, AND THEN ONLY IN THE OFFICE OF THE "ENTRY SUPERINTENDENT." If the records are altered and do not conform with the information on file in the Entry Department, payment of premiums will be withheld. No person except personnel of the Entry Department will be allowed to see the entries, or have access to the entry books, until after the awards are made. The same article or animal cannot be entered in more than one lot number (except as otherwise stated in the Special Department Rules and Regulations). Collections and displays must be made up of specimens, other than those entered in single (individual) classes unless otherwise noted. Entry fees are not required in most departments - Poultry, rabbit, cavies and certain livestock exhibitors must include payment of stall, pen, and coop fees with their applications for entry - Dept. H, Arts and Photography has entry fees in the professional and amateur categories, as well as Dept. A, Commercial Wine entries, Dept. AB Beer, and Dept. B, Cheese Contest entries. Additional application forms are available upon request. Call (919) 839-4515. Livestock entries must be submittted online at www.ncstatefair.org, or mailed to the address below. No faxes will be accepted. Entry forms for entries other than livestock, can be completed online at www.ncstatefair.org, faxed to (919-7335079), or mailed to: N.C. STATE FAIR, ATTN: ENTRY DEPARTMENT 1025 BLUE RIDGE ROAD RALEIGH, N.C. 27607 EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORS The dates on which your exhibits must be in place at State Fair VARY FROM ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER. These dates are set out in the Department Headings and Rules and Regulations. Check these dates carefully so you can get your exhibits IN PLACE AT THE PROPER TIME TO BE JUDGED. UNCLAIMED EXHIBITS FROM COMPETITIVE DEPARTMENTS, will be considered abandoned if not called for within one week after the official closing of the Fair, and may be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. SEE SPECIAL RULES for the Culinary and Horticulture Departments. Remember! All exhibits must be officially entered in the Fair on official printed forms provided for that purpose, or online, before the closing date for entries in the department. No article or animal will be entitled to space or considered in the judging until proper entry has been made. Removal of exhibits before the date and time specified will be cause for forfeit of all premiums won, all fees paid, and the right to further participation in the Fair. In all but livestock departments, entries and exhibits will remain in place through the entire fair. Release times are scheduled for the day following the fair due to the lack of parking available nearby for those to pick up entries or exhibits, and in an effort to keep vehicles off the grounds during crowded conditions. The regulation will also assure those attending the fair during the evening of the final day of seeing the same exhibits and entries as those attending earlier. All exhibits will be numbered and recorded in the books of the proper department and class and exhibit tag with corresponding numbers will be issued. This tag must be securely attached to the exhibit and must remain on the exhibit throughout the Fair (except that exhibit tags issued for livestock and poultry may be conspicuously displayed upon the stall, pen or coop). ENTRY TAGS WILL NOT BE MAILED but will be available, at the Entry Department, Administration Building. Call the entry office for pick-up time when tags are available. Once the exhibit is numbered and tagged, it should be delivered to the Department Superintendent or Director who will allocate space and either personally arrange the exhibit in a suitable and attractive display or direct such action by the exhibitor. The State Fair assumes no responsibility for the incorrect tagging of exhibits. All exhibitors are urged to personally bring their exhibits to the Fair and enjoy the educational and recreational advantages of the annual exposition. However, entries may be shipped or mailed to: N.C. STATE FAIR , Attn. Entry Department 1025 BLUE RIDGE ROAD RALEIGH, N.C. 27607 Entries will be carefully handled, officially entered, tagged, and otherwise treated in the same manner as previously described. They will be given the same consideration with regard to display and judging as entries personally delivered. All exhibits shipped or mailed MUST BE PREPAID. No transportation charges for express, postage, freight or drayage will be paid by the Fair. Shipments should be carefully labeled, accompanied by a bill of lading, and properly identified inside and outside the package as to the department, class and premium number under which they have been previously entered. They should be shipped or mailed at least a week or 10 days prior to the opening of the Fair. The management will not be responsible for delayed shipments which arrive at the Fair too late to be considered in the judging. Paid return postage GENERAL RULES 15 Division Directors and Department Superintendents will have full authority over allocation of space, and will have direct supervision of all exhibits which are considered on exhibition as a part of the Fair’s attractions, subject to use as these Directors and Superintendents see fit to add to the educational values of the Fair. Livestock able to be led or driven, or which will follow, must participate in parades and group exhibitions as directed by the Department Superintendent. All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor except as noted in the Junior Dairy Cattle and Market Cattle shows. All stalls and pens (except entries in Special Exhibits) will be well bedded one time by the Fair, free of charge. Thereafter, exhibitors will be required to furnish their own bedding and keep all stalls and pens clean. Feed and straw will be sold on the grounds at prevailing prices. No drenching is allowed unless under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian in the state of North Carolina with a valid medical reason. When exhibit tags are issued by the Entry Department for each article entered, a stub will be given the exhibitor to serve as his claim check to recover and secure the release of his exhibit. Claim checks should be guarded carefully, since Department Superintendents and Directors are not allowed to release any exhibit without presentation of the exhibit tag stub. If the claim check is lost, such loss should be reported promptly and it will be necessary for the exhibitor to furnish the Superintendent of the Entry Department proof of ownership of the article on exhibit. Exhibits entered in competitions which are not claimed within one week after the close of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned by the exhibitor and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. Other exhibits, materials therein, including concession booths, which are not claimed by the exhibitor or concessionaire within 30 days after the end of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned and will become the property of the State Fair. The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exhibit which does not reflect merit and which would not be a credit to both the exhibitor and the Fair. Also, the right is reserved to reject exhibits which are deemed objectionable or unsuitable for exhibition. All entries are accepted conditionally pending inspection of the article or animal to be exhibited. Any article or animal which proves to be misrepresented or falsely classed will be rejected and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in the Fair will be denied. Division Directors, Department Superintendents, and/or Judges must report disqualification of entries to the Manager of the State Fair immediately after such action is taken. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL JUDGING BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL AND PREMIUMS PAID IN A CLASS WHERE DISQUALIFICATION IS RECOMMENDED UNTIL APPROVAL OF THE DISQUALIFICATION(S) IS OBTAINED FROM THE FAIR MANAGER. Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise and distribute literature and free samples from their place of exhibit only, but may not sell any article or animal from their exhibit space without a permit from the manager. The distribution of advertising matter which conflicts in any manner with a concession sold by the Management is prohibited. Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping the space in and around their exhibits, including unused space, aisles and roadways, clean and free of rubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit booth and concession stand must be thoroughly cleaned by the exhibitor or concessionaire at the end of each Fair day. Failure to do so will be cause for cancellation of contract. No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sublet without permission of the Fair manager. JUDGING AND AWARDS Any and all participants in any and all competitions covered by this online Premium Book listing hereby acknowledge that they are voluntarily agreeing to participate in said event. Any and all participants in any and all events covered by this online Premium Book hereby expressly acknowledge in a knowing and informed manner that the participant has no constitutional or statutory right to participate or compete in any and all events covered by this online Premium Book. By participating, participants agree to abide by and be subject to all rules and procedures applicable to the event entered as stated in this online Premium Book. Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its mere presence. It must be individually worthy. It is not the policy of the Fair to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute premiums equally among exhibitors. No premium will be awarded to any exhibit that does not possess high intrinsic merit. Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL CLASS, AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN ANY GROUP CLASS. “Participant” includes competitors, exhibitors, immediate family members, and any other members involved in the fitting and showing of an animal. No participant may accompany judges during their deliberations except such attendants as are necessary to handle and show livestock and other such exhibits. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during their adjudication or who publicly expresses disapproval of the decision of the judges, will be excluded from further competition and any premiums previously won will be forfeited. No participant may attempt to influence, interfere with or publicly express disapproval of the show superintendent. Such behavior will result in the participant being excluded from further competition, and any premiums previously won will be forfeited. 16 GENERAL RULES Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging reports, which will be signed by the judge and by the Department Superintendent or Director. Ribbons or designation of placing will be securely attached to the articles upon which they were awarded if possible, but the ribbons have no value in the payment of premiums since they may become detached and find their way on to the wrong exhibit. PROTESTS The protest procedures and remedies set out in this section of the online Premium Book listing are the exclusive procedures and remedies concerning any protest, discipline or complaint regarding any action of the Fair arising in any way from participation in any and all events covered by this online Premium Book listing. Decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except in cases of protest in writing submitted to the Livestock Director and the State Fair Manager, with strong evidence of fraud or violation of the rules of the Fair. Any and all participants in any and all events covered by this online Premium Book expressly acknowledge and expressly agree that they will have the burden of going forward and the burden of proof concerning the establishment of grounds for any protest, discipline or complaint brought under the provisions of this online Premium Book listing. Any and all participants in any and all events covered by this online Premium Book listing may file a protest, other than those involving the results of drug testing, any time prior to the show and up to 48 hours from the conclusion of the show involving the class in question. Any and all participants in any and all events covered by this online Premium Book listing shall have 10 days following the receipt of testing results to file any protests, challenges of disciplinary action or complaints brought under the provisions of this online Premium Book listing involving the results of drug testing. The N.C. State Fair will not consider any protests, challenges of disciplinary action or complaints based upon the statement that a judge or judges are incompetent. Any and all livestock protests, challenges of disciplinary action or complaints filed pursuant to this paragraph shall be accompanied by a deposit of $250 which will be forfeited if the protest is not sustained. Deposit must be filed with the State Fair Manager contemporaneously with any and all protests, challenges of disciplinary action or complaints. Should fraud, deception or any violation of the rules covered by this online Premium Book listing be discovered prior to the sale, such animal shall not be permitted to sell. If the Grand Champion is disqualified at the discretion of the State Fair Manager, the Reserve Grand Champion will become the Grand Champion. If a third place animal was identified it may be moved up to Reserve Grand Champion at the discretion of the State Fair Manager. No other animals will be advanced. Should a violation be discovered after the Sale, all sale money shall be returned to the buyer. All placings in the show will stand. No animals will be advanced. Any attempt to misrepresent an animal in any way will be considered fraud and deception, and can result in disqualification and an indefinite ban from the N.C. State Fair. In addition, any participant whose animals are found suspect of using illegal drugs or barred for any other reason at any fair or livestock show holding membership in the International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE) will be barred indefinitely from showing at the North Carolina State Fair. Tampering and/or misrepresentation as to breeding, age, ownership and any other irregularity in showing will be considered fraud and deception. To maintain a high degree of confidence and integrity in the livestock shows, the N.C. State Fair reserves the right to disqualify any animal fitted in an unethical manner and indefinitely ban the participant and the participant’s assistants who fitted the animal involved. Any artificial means of removing or remedying physical defects or conformation in exhibition animals (i.e. lifting or filling under the skin) will be considered fraud or deception. No unnatural means of providing an animal feed, water or other fluids (i.e. stomach pump, IV) will be allowed. All participants whose animals give evidence of such treatment will be barred indefinitely from exhibiting at the N.C. State Fair. All exhibitors, their immediate family and any other parties involved in the unethical fitting and showing of an animal may be barred indefinitely from exhibiting or showing at the N.C. State Fair and will forfeit all premiums, prize monies and awards won in any division . Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department Superintendent, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE IN THE OFFICE OF, AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF, THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE ENTRY DEPARTMENT. Records must be changed when entries are reclassified. If the records are altered and the entry department files are not changed, premiums will be withheld. Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits to which they have awarded premiums. GENERAL RULES 17 Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that does not qualify for one of the classes in the State Fair Premium List. Premium checks will be mailed to all exhibitors no later than 60 days after the fair. Errors in premium statements will be corrected until January 31, 2017 after which time the books of the 2016 Fair are closed. Photographs of exhibits and winners will be taken by official photographers of the NC State Fair. Exhibitors hereby grant the NC State Fair permission to utilize photographs, images, or likenesses in whole or in part for use in official NC State Fair publications and promotions.

No animals may be unloaded on the fairgrounds before being checked and approved by the regulatory veterinarian in charge. ALL LIVESTOCK WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ENTRANCE HEALTH EXAMINATION AT TIME OF CHECK IN AS A PREREQUISITE FOR ENTRY ONTO THE FAIRGROUNDS. ANY ANIMAL NOT PASSING THIS EXAM WILL BE SET ASIDE FOR DISPOSITION BY THE SHOW VETERINARIAN. All entries shall be inspected prior to unloading between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Animals will not be allowed to enter the barns until inspected and passed by health officials. An approval card will be issued after the ENTRANCE HEALTH EXAMINATION and will be required for animals to enter the barns. Any and all animals not meeting the entry requirements, unthrifty nature, unsuitable condition and/or exhibiting any signs of disease or illness, may be refused entry, required to be isolated and/or required to be returned to the farm of origin. During the duration of the Fair, any and all animals of unthrifty nature, unsuitable condition and/or exhibiting any signs of disease or illness or found not to have met entry requirements after entry may be required to be isolated and/or returned to the farm of origin. All animals must have a form of identification (ear tag, tattoo, ear notch, or microchip -readers must be supplied by owner) to enter the fairgrounds. All sheep and goats must comply with USDA and NCDA&CS Scrapie Eradication Program guidelines. Sheep and goats without a scrapie tag, or a registration paper with corresponding tattoo or microchip information at the time of check-in will not be allowed. Scrapie Flock ID numbers must be presented at the time of check-in before an approval card can be issued. This number is not the same as the National Premise ID. All livestock except Horses will require a State or National Premise ID prior to showing at the State Fair. No exceptions. For those exhibitors showing multiple species only one premise ID is needed if on the same farm. The Premise ID must be included on the Entry Form at the time it is submitted. If you do not have a premise ID number you can obtain one by printing and filling out the following form http://www.ncagr.gov/ncfarmid/registrationform.htm. For more information visit http://www.ncfarmid.com. Drug testing may include, but not limited to, the following drugs: Furosemide; Bumetanide; Boldenone; Nandrolone; Flunixin; Phenylbutazone; Dexamethasone; Isoflupredone; Flumethasone; Methylprednisolone; Azaperone; Acepromazine; Chlorpromazine, and other tranqualizers; Clenbuterol; Balbuterol; Terbutaline; Albuterol; Isoetharine. Paylean is labeled for swine only, Optiflex is labeled for feedlot cattle only. Paylean and Optiflex are illegal for use in sheep and goats. The health regulations of the Veterinary Division of the NC Dept. of Agriculture will be strictly enforced. Any questionable health problems will be referred to the Show Veterinarian, show committee, and/or the State Veterinarian. Animals with obvious abscesses (opened or unopened), ringworm, soremouth or any other signs of contagious disease WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE BARN. Examples of lesions, treatments and prevention strategies, courtesy of NCSU-CVM, can be seen on the NCDA&CS Veterinary Division website: http://www.ncagr.com/vet/ (click on MSF/SF Health Requirements under the Vet Div Highlights section). The Fair staff works diligently to prevent diseased animals from entering the fairground, though owners should consider that animals may be exposed to infectious agents while at the Fair. It is a best management practice to keep animals returning from the Fair separate from your animals at home for 2-3 weeks. By isolating exhibited animals for this time you have the opportunity to see if they were exposed to disease and infected while at the Fair. Drug and Chemical Compounds Policy for All NCDA&CS Sponsored Fairs, Exhibitions, and Events The use of any drug and/or chemical compound in any manner that is not approved by the FDA, including but not limited to indications and directions on species, age, dosage amounts and/or withdrawal times, is illegal and prohibited. HEALTH REGULATIONS 23 The owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer and/or absolutely responsible person must notify the show management prior to admittance into the livestock barns of any animal that is being administered drugs or chemical compounds in accordance with approved FDA guidelines for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal. Acceptance of the animal for exhibition will be at the discretion of the livestock superintendent and the show veterinarian and will depend on such factors as the nature of the drug or chemical compound and justification by an accredited veterinarian with a valid client-patient relationship. Regardless, livestock will not be allowed to exhibit if use of any drugs or chemical compounds will affect the animal's performance or appearance at the event. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers and/or absolutely responsible persons will be held accountable for the presence of any violative drug residue from their animal and subject to the disposition as specified below: 1. Findings of proof in intentional use of any drug or chemical compound in a manner described as illegal and prohibited by the Policy on use of Drugs and Chemical Compounds will result in immediate disqualification, forfeiture of all premiums and prizes, market value of the animal (in the case of market animals), and a life-time ban on exhibiting in NCDA&CS sponsored events. 2. If proof of intentional use of any drug or chemical compound in an illegal and prohibited manner cannot be found on an animal that has been demonstrated by the above detailed laboratory methods to have the presence of such a substance, a first time offense for a positive test will result in immediate disqualification, forfeiture of all premiums and prizes, market value of the animal (in the case of market animals), and a one-year prohibition on exhibiting in NCDA&CS sponsored events by the exhibitor of the positive animal.

If you have questions call (919)612-6767. EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORS Only vehicles operated by the Fair management will be allowed in the barn area. The Fair management will use diligence to ensure the safety of livestock entered for exhibition or display, but under no circumstances will it be responsible for loss, injury, theft or damage by fire, lightning, wind, or any other agency, to such livestock on exhibition or display. All livestock on exhibition must be cared for by the exhibitor (except entries in Special Junior Dairy Cattle Exhibits). All stalls and pens (except entries in Special Exhibits) will be well bedded one time by the Fair, free of charge. Thereafter, exhibitors will be required to furnish their own bedding. The Fair reserves the right to discriminate against both excessive obesity, which cannot be a profitable condition for breeding animals and excessive leanness, in which conditions are unfit for exhibition. No barren animals will be eligible in breeding classes. An affidavit that an animal is a breeder must be furnished on request. All cattle must be halter-broken. Boars over one year of age must have their tusks removed. A great educational feature of the Fair is the exhibitions and parades of approved livestock by breeds and ages. Exhibitors refusing for any cause not meeting with the approval of the management to lead out animals for parade will not only forfeit all premiums won, but will be barred from further participation in the Fair, and will be required to remove their stock from the Fairgrounds within six hours after such refusal, and will forfeit any fees paid. Misrepresentation as to breeding and irregularity in showing will be exposed and any premium won by such exhibitor will be withheld. Certificates of registration must be shown on demand of the Livestock Superintendent. Any artificial means of removing or remedying physical defects or conformation in exhibition animals, including the use of steroids and other drugs, as well as lifting, dyeing or filling under the skin, will be considered fraud and deception. Drenching will not be allowed except under the direct supervision of a North Carolina licensed veterinarian for a valid medical reason. The North Carolina State Fair Management reserves the right to test the grand and reserve champion of any show, and to conduct other random testing as deemed appropriate. The grand and reserve champions may be sampled at the fair. Exhibitors involved in any such treatment will be barred from exhibition at this Fair, and all Fairs holding membership in the International Association of Fairs and Exposition will be notified. 26 LIVESTOCK Exhibitors must keep the space in the rear of their stalls or pens, and the alleyways in the exhibition halls, clear and clean. All litter must be deposited where directed by the Superintendent of Directors. Animals must be transported to and from the Fairgrounds at the expense of the exhibitor, except for some Junior Exhibitors. The Fair management will not pay any charges for express, freight, or drayage. Exhibitors are responsible for ascertaining when their stock will be judged. Animals must be in the show ring promptly after being called. Exhibitors failing to comply with this rule may have their animals excluded from competition. Exhibitors are not allowed to make substitutions between breeds. One substitution may be made within the breed, at approval of superintendent. See exceptions in certain departments. JUDGES AND AWARDS NO EXHIBITOR MAY RECEIVE MORE THAN TWO PREMIUM MONIES IN ANY ONE CLASS. However, ribbons will be awarded exactly as the animals are placed by the judge. EXAMPLE: An exhibitor makes three entries in a class, and his animals place “First”, “Second” and “Third”. He would receive only the first and second premium monies, but all three ribbons. Then, the owner of the animal placing “Fourth” would receive the third-place premium money and the fourth-place ribbon; and so on down the line. The decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except in the case of protest. The rules of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions govern appeals at the North Carolina State Fair. Protests must be in writing and filed with the State Fair Manager within twenty four hours of the day following the award, accompanied by a protest fee of $250.00 which will be retained by the fair if the protest is not sustained by an impartial protest committee appointed by the State Fair Manager. No unworthy animal will be awarded a premium. Where there are fewer animals shown in the class than the number of premiums offered, the judge may, at his/her discretion, award a prize or prizes of such grade as the animal or animals deserve. Where there is only one entry in a class, second premium will be awarded unless in the opinion of the judge the animal is sufficiently meritorious as to justify the full award as provided for. HERDSMEN’S CONTESTS Special prizes will be awarded in contests for herdsmen, shepherd and caretakers of animals in some livestock departments. All herdsmen will automatically be considered entrants and no special entry is required. Judges will be assigned by the Livestock Director. The contests will start at a time designated by each Department. The following score card will serve as the basis for the judges in the Herdsmen’s contest making their decisions. Condition and cleanliness of herd or flock.......................................................................................... 20 Cleanliness of stalls/pens and alleyways........................................................................................... 20 Signs indicating where the animals are from and who is showing them............................................ 20 Educational material or other displays that will interest the general public........................................ 20 Courtesy of exhibitors in both the show ring and the barn................................................................. 20 100 JUNIOR SHOWMANSHIP CONTEST A Junior Showmanship Contest will be held for each species.

Their conduct in this competitive environment shall always reflect the highest standards of honor and dignity to promote the advancement of agricultural education. This code applies to junior as well as open class exhibitors who compete in structured classes of competition. This code applies to all livestock offered in any event at a livestock show. In addition to the "IAFE Code of Show Ring Ethics", fairs and livestock shows may have rules and regulations which they impose on the local, county, state, provincial and national levels. All youth leaders working with junior exhibitors are under an affirmative responsibility to do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable acts. Their moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by their fine example. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers and absolutely responsible persons who violate the code of ethics will forfeit premiums, awards and auction proceeds and shall be prohibited from future exhibition in accordance with the rules adopted by the respective fairs and livestock shows. Exhibitors who violate this code of ethics demean the integrity of all livestock exhibitors and should be prohibited from competition at all livestock shows in the United States and Canada. The following is a list of guidelines for all exhibitors and all livestock in competitive events: 1) All exhibitors must present, upon request of fair and livestock show officials, proof of ownership, length of ownership, and age of all animals entered. Misrepresentation of ownership, age, or any facts relating thereto is prohibited. 2) Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers, or absolutely responsible persons shall provide animal health certificates from licensed veterinarians upon request by fair or livestock show officials. 3) Junior exhibitors are expected to care for and groom their animals while at fairs or livestock shows. 4) Animals shall be presented to show events where they will enter the food chain free of violative drug residues. The act of entering an animal in a livestock show is the giving of, consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer and/ or absolutely responsible person for show management to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing. Animals not entered in an event which culminates with the animal entering the food chain shall not be administered drugs other than in accordance with applicable federal, state and provincial statutes, regulations and rules. Livestock shall not be exhibited if the drugs administered in accordance with federal, state and provincial statutes, regulations and rules affect the animal's performance or appearance at the event. If the laboratory report on the analysis of saliva, urine, blood, or other sample taken from livestock indicates the presence of forbidden drugs or medication, this shall be prima facie evidence such substance has been administered to the animal either internally or externally. It is presumed that the sample of urine, saliva, blood, or other substance tested by the laboratory, to which it is sent, is the one taken from the animal in question, its integrity is preserved and all procedures of said collection and preservation, transfer to the laboratory and analysis of the sample are correct and accurate and the report received from the laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the animal in question and correctly reflects the condition of the animal at the time the sample was taken, with the burden on the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person to prove otherwise. At any time after an animal arrives on the fair or livestock show premises, all treatments involving the use of drugs and/or medications for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian. CODE OF ETHICS 37 5) Any surgical procedure or injection of any foreign substance or drug or the external application of any substance (irritant, counterirritant, or similar substance) which could affect the animal's performance or alter its natural contour, confirmation, or appearance, except external applications of substances to the hoofs or horns of animals which affect appearance only and except for surgical procedures performed by a duly licensed veterinarian for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal, is prohibited. 6) The use of showing and/or handling practices or devices such as striking animals to cause swelling, using electrical contrivance, or other similar practices are not acceptable and are prohibited. 7) Direct criticism or interference with the judge, fair or livestock show management, other exhibitors, breed representatives, or show officials before, during, or after the competitive event is prohibited. In the furtherance of their official duty, all judges, fair and livestock show management, or other show officials shall be treated with courtesy, cooperation and respect and no person shall direct abusive or threatening conduct toward them. 8) No owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person shall conspire with another person or persons to intentionally violate this code of ethics or knowingly contribute or cooperate with another person or persons either by affirmative action or inaction to violate this code of ethics. Violation of this rule shall subject such individual to disciplinary action. 9) The application of this code of ethics provides for absolute responsibility for an animal's condition by an owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or participant whether or not he or she was actually instrumental in or had actual knowledge of the treatment of the animal in contravention of this code of ethics. 10)The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person to have disciplinary action taken by the fair or livestock show for violation of this Code of Show Ring Ethics and any other rules of competition of the fair or livestock show without recourse against the fair or livestock show. The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent that any proceedings or disciplinary action taken by the fair or livestock show may be published with the name of the violator or violators in any publication of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions, including Fairs and Expos and any special notices to members. 11)The act of entering of an animal in a fair or livestock show is the giving of verification by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person that he or she has read the IAFE Code of Show Ring Ethics and understands the consequences of and penalties provided for actions prohibited by the code. It is further a consent that any action which contravenes these rules and is also in violation of federal, state, or provincial statutes, regulations, or rules may be released to appropriate law enforcement authorities with jurisdiction over such infractions. 38 CODE OF ETHICS LIVESTOCK HALL OF FAME The Livestock Advisory Board has approved the creation of the North Carolina State Fair Livestock Hall of Fame to recognize and honor outstanding supporters of the Fair. Individuals will be inducted each year, beginning with an inaugural ceremony during the 1980 Fair, based on their activities supporting the Fair and their length of service. Candidates for induction can be producers of livestock that have exhibited and promoted livestock shows at the fair, or a person who has served as a fair employee, representative of business, extension workers and others from agricultural organizations. Their contributions have occurred in the past as well as the present, and deceased nominees will be considered. Inductees will be recognized in the Livestock Hall of Fame room. BEEF CATTLE †H.J.

DEPT. 001 - OPEN DAIRY CATTLE 43 RULES AND REGULATIONS Except in cases of conflict, in which event the following Rules and Regulations will prevail, the General Rules and Regulations of the Livestock Division and the General Rules and Regulations of the Fair will govern this department. BE SURE TO READ BOTH BEFORE ENTERING OR COMPETING IN THIS DEPARTMENT. Some - but not all - are repeated herewith for emphasis, and others of the following Rules and Regulations apply only to this Department. MAKE YOUR ENTRIES EARLY!! The right is reserved to reject entries received after all available space is taken and after the closing date. Enter online at www.ncstatefair.org. If using paper entry, use separate forms for making entries in other departments and separate forms for the Junior and Senior Shows. Be sure to fill in the application form completely, accurately, and legibly. Give your rural route number, post office box number, or city street address, zip code, social security or federal ID number. Entries in the Open Show must be made in the name of the exhibitor shown on the registration certificate as the owner and must conform to the breed percentages recommended by the respective breed association. The exhibitor and breeder of an animal are defined as follows: "Where the animals are registered in the name(s) of different members of a family, residing on one farm and when the herd is one unit, all entries may be considered as a single exhibitor." Animals owned in partnership or by a syndicate may be shown in the name of the partnership or syndicate only; except that at the time of entry a determination shall be made that such animals will be shown in the name of one partner or syndicate member and shown in the same way in group classes. Exhibitors are not allowed to make substitutions between breeds. Two substitutions per exhibitor may be made within a breed. Indicate on the form the total number of animals you will exhibit, and the total number of stall spaces you will require, including those to be used for gear, feed and bedding. No fee is required for entries exclusively in the Junior Show. Junior entries wishing to show in the open show will be required to pay entry fee in accordance with open show registration. Entries in the group and herd classes must have previously been exhibited in the individual classes. List the class number, as indicated in the premium list, for which each entry is made. Enter each animal separately. List the name and registry number of each animal entered, its date of birth, and its sex. Bring your registration certificates to the Fair; they must be shown at any time if requested by the Superintendent. Registration papers will be required at the time of show of all group classes. All animals must be registered with their respective breed associations in the name of the bona fide owner and breed percentages must conform to breed association standards. No animal will be allowed to show if registration of animal is pending. In breeding classes, to be eligible to show, all cows 36 months of age or older must have produced a calf carried to maturity within the last 12 months prior to the opening date of the Fair. In case the exhibitor, upon demand of the superintendent, cannot verify by affidavit or registration certificate the facts of the above requirements, the animal will be excluded from competition. In making awards in the breeding classes, the judge will lay much stress on the evidence of superior breeding qualities. When animals show evidence of being “overdone” (overloaded with flesh) they will be discriminated against accordingly. FEES Entry fees are required for all entries in the senior and open classes of the livestock Division. Entries exclusively in the junior livestock shows are not subject to entry fees. There is a $5.00 processing fee for all paper entries. All applicants for entries must be noted on the entry form, AND REMITTANCES FOR SAME MUST ACCOMPANY THE ENTRY APPLICATION FORM. Reservations will not be made unless accompanied by the required fee and REMEMBER: THE RIGHT IS RESERVED TO REJECT ENTRIES AFTER ALL AVAILABLE SPACE IS TAKEN.

RULES AND REGULATIONS (See Poultry Exhibitor's Certificate on the Poultry Department page at www.ncstatefair.org under Competitions.) Except in cases of conflict, in which the following Rules and Regulations will prevail, the General Rules and Regulations of the Fair will govern this department. BE SURE TO READ THE Information & General Rules for Exhibitors and Patrons BEFORE ENTERING OR COMPETING IN THIS DEPARTMENT. Some - but not all - are repeated here for emphasis, and other of the following Rules and Regulations apply only to this department. MAKE YOUR ENTRIES EARLY! The right is reserved to reject entries received after all space is taken. Online or official printed forms must be used in making applications for entry. One will be found in the back of this book. Additional copies are available upon request or online at www.ncstatefair.org under the competitions tab. Use separate forms for entries in other departments of the FAIR. Be sure to fill out the application form completely, accurately and legibly. Give your rural route number, post office box number or city street address, zip code, and telephone number. Social Security numbers are REQUIRED for all exhibitors in order for premium monies to be awarded. In filling out the form, in the first column write the section number; in the second column write the Department letter and class number; in the third column write in the breed description exactly as it appears in the catalog. An example - Section 101, 00004 for the open show and 00004 for the Youth show, Barred Plymouth Rock pullet. Next enter age and sex (Cock, Hen, Cockerel or Pullet). In the column headed: “Leg Band No. ” BE SURE TO LIST THIS EXACTLY AS THE BIRD WILL BE BANDED WHEN BROUGHT TO THE FAIR. Important: LIST ONLY ONE BIRD ON EACH LINE OF THE APPLICATION FORM. Space cannot be reserved until receipt of the coop fee, and, remember: The right is reserved to reject entries after all available space is taken. A coop fee of $2.00 for each bird exhibited must accompany your application form. Please note: no changes will be made to the entry listing after the September 15, 2016 deadline. All birds must be entered in the name of the bona fide owner, who must have owned the birds for at least 60 days before the closing date for entries. Owners and breeders must maintain a breeding establishment sufficient to raise the birds so exhibited. All birds are entered at the risk of the owner, and the State Fair management will not be responsible for any loss or damage, but will exercise all possible vigilance in the care of exhibits. No one will be allowed to handle fowl on display except the owners and officials of the show, without permission of the directors. The right is reserved to coop two or more birds of the same variety, and belonging to the same person, together if absolutely necessary. In no case will two male birds be placed in the same coop. The Fair staff works diligently to prevent diseased animals from entering the fairground, though owners should consider that animals may be exposed to infectious agents while at the Fair. It is a Best Management Practice to keep animals returning from the Fair separate from your animals at home for 2-3 weeks. By isolating exhibited animals for this time you have the opportunity to see if they were exposed to disease and infected while at the Fair. The American Standard of Perfection will be the guide of the judges in awarding premium. The premiums will be paid only on standard varieties listed in this catalog, and then only to worthy specimens. To win first premium, a bird must score at least 88 points; for second premium, 87 points. For less than 87 points, third and fourth prizes will be awarded. The decision of the judges will be final. Protest will be entertained only when addressed to the Division Director of the Division III within three days following the award, and then only when accompanied by a protest fee of $5.00. Basis for protest: (1) Placing a disqualified bird; (2) Fraud; and (3) Clerical error. This fee will be forfeited unless protest is sustained by a majority of the judging staff and officials of the show. After the judging, the management will endeavor to place on the coops any advertising material supplied by the exhibitor for his coop.

No rabbit under eight weeks of age will be judged. Any stock which becomes ill during the course of the exhibition will be removed and placed under the care of a veterinarian. No shipments of rabbits will be accepted. Rabbits are to be delivered by the exhibitor. If the rabbit does not pass examination, then the exhibitor must take the rabbit home. The Fair management will not be responsible for any loss or damage. 186 RABBITS No person will be allowed to handle exhibits without permission of the department directors.

Each animal must have a permanent ear mark in the left ear, which must be listed on the entry form. No adhesive tape, pen, or pencil marks will be accepted. There is a $2.00 fee for each rabbit tattooed at the show. The right is reserved to substitute another judge in the case the judge listed is unable to officiate. Each animal must be entered in the name of the bona fide owner, otherwise exhibitor forfeits all entry fees and premiums. NO SUBSTITUTIONS OF ANIMALS ALLOWED EXCEPT IN SAME BREED, CLASS, AND SEX, WITH SUBSTITUTION DONE AT THE TIME OF CHECK-IN, NO EXCEPTIONS. HUSBANDRY and HEALTH REGULATIONS The coops are equipped with an automatic watering system and an open water container. IF YOUR RABBITS ARE NOT ACCUSTOMED TO AUTOMATIC WATERERS OR OPEN CONTAINERS–PLEASE BRING A CLEAN WATER BOTTLE FOR EACH RABBIT. The feed for the rabbits is supplied by the Fair, and will contain 16% protein. A sudden change in diet is stressful for rabbits. If your rabbit(s) are not accustomed to eating this type of feed, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you purchase a small amount of feed and slowly adjust your rabbit(s) to the new diet. At least 2 weeks prior to the fair, the rabbit(s) should be consuming 100% of the 16% protein feed. This year there will be a feed choice for your rabbit. Please indicate on your entry form which feed your rabbits should be fed - (PU=Purina); (BL=Blue Seal); (RO =Rowe)or (provide your own feed = OF). Please clearly mark your bag or bucket with your name and feed type. An attendant is available at all times to feed and care for the rabbits. A. The health regulations of the Veterinary Division of the N.C. Department of Agriculture will be enforced. They are: 1. All rabbits will be presented for examination before being placed in the show. The Show Veterinarian and/or the Show Superintendent will not accept rabbits infected with or showing any clinical symptoms of infectious or communicable disease. Rabbits developing symptoms of infectious or communicable diseases during the show will be placed in isolation and shall not be removed for purpose of exhibiting. 2.Please use carriers or boxes to transport rabbits. Carriers or boxes used in transporting rabbits to the Fair will not be allowed to remain inside the exhibit building during the Fair. They may be brought into the building in order to place the rabbits on exhibition, and again to pick up the rabbits on Monday morning, October 24, 2016. B. Any animal which does not display a good condition of health and vigor or is deemed unsuitable for public exhibition may be refused at check-in and for the purpose of judging will be considered “Not Shown” and entry fee forfeited. No rabbit under 8 weeks of age will be allowed to be judged. The Fair staff works diligently to protect and prevent diseased animals from entering the fairgrounds, though owners should consider that animals may be exposed to infectious agents while at the Fair. It is a best management practice to keep animals returning from the Fair separate from your animals at home for 2-3 weeks. By isolating exhibited animals for this time you have the opportunity to see if they were exposed to disease and infected while at the Fair. CLASS 101 As indicated by the premium list, juniors (under six months), intermediates(6-8 months) and seniors (over 8 months) will be judged by sex, in each breed of the individual classes, except in the small breeds in which the American Rabbit Breeders Association does not recognize an intermediate class.
