1. The Fair will open at 5 p.m. Tuesday,

Association reserves the right to construe

3. The Association furnishes guards who
remain guarding buildings day and night. While
every reasonable precaution will be taken for
safeguarding exhibits, it should be understood

may occur. Neither the Fair Association, its officers nor agents will be responsible for any
such accident, loss or damage.

date of Fair, their reservation may be canceled
at the discretion of the Association.
8. For every article entered, the exhibitor
will be given a coupon showing Department,
Division, Class and number of articles. This
receipt must be preserved and presented to

when article is called for and claimed.
9. Exhibitors will be held responsible for the
cleanliness of their exhibits and space surrounding same. All exhibits must be in complete
order each day at least 30 minutes before the
opening hour. No work of this character will be
permitted during the hours the buildings are
open to the public. In case of failure on the part
of exhibitors to observe the rule, the Department
Director may adopt such means to enforce the
same as circumstances may suggest.
10. When space is allotted, a permit to
occupy space will be given; such permit
will not be transferable and no other party
will be allowed to share such place with
the original applicant, except upon approval of the Management.
11. Advertising matter and sample of articles on exhibition only may be given to the
public from booth space, or exhibit, and only
with the approval of Fair Management. No
article may be sold from the exhibits without

The right is reserved to restrict or discontinue this privilege whenever it is carried to
excess or becomes an annoyance to visitors.
Only advertising matter of such articles as
have been contracted for with the Association
by exhibitors may be posted in booths.
12. Advertising by means of posters, prints,
handbills, samples, etc., will not be permitted
within the Fair Grounds, except upon agreement with the Fair Management.
13. All articles, after being entered and
until surrendered to the owner or agent, will
be entirely under the control and jurisdiction
of the Association, and no exhibitor will be
allowed to remove, handle or rearrange, improve or disfigure same under any circumstances, unless permission is granted by
Department Director or Fair Management.
14. Exhibitors may sell at their respective
stands any article displayed, to be delivered to the purchaser at close of the Fair.
15. No Department Director or member of
the Fair Board of Directors may enter exhibits for prizes in competition with the public.
16. If it is ascertained that any exhibitor,
in any unruly manner, refuses to comply
with the regulations of the Association,
and has taken exception to the judgment
of a Judge or an awarding committee, the
Board of Directors shall bar the person
offending from competition for a premium
or exhibiting on the grounds of the Association until he shall have made proper
amends and has been reinstated by a vote
of majority of the Board of Directors.
17. An exhibitor who tears off a premium
ribbon, authorizes any person to do so in
the presence of the awarding Judge, who
refuses a ribbon from a Judge or otherwise insults the awarding Judge, shall
forfeit the premium or diploma and be
excluded from competition.
18. If it is ascertained that an exhibitor
has made, or caused to be made, a false
statement in regard to any animal or article exhibited, or if any exhibitor shall attempt to interfere with the Judges in their
performance of their duties, he shall be
excluded from competing or from exhibition on the grounds of the Association.
19. No smoking, or lighted candles,
lamps, matches, etc., will be allowed in any
tents or exhibition booths in building.

RULES from JUDGES
26. The Fair, acting through its Department Directors, reserves the right to refuse, reject or withdraw any exhibit for any
reason, including, without limitation, a
Director’s determination that an exhibit is
offensive, inappropriate or obscene.
27. Should any doubt arise as to the
regularity of an entry, or any other important matter which the Judge feels incompetent to decide, he shall at once report
the same to the Department Director who
shall in turn bring the matter to the attention of the Fair Management.
28. No one will be allowed to act as Judge
in a Department or ring in which he exhibits.
29. All Judges will be selected for their
known familiarity with the classes on which
they are invited to award premiums, and
are instructed that if they shall have good
reasons to believe that any exhibitor, by
false entry or otherwise, attempts to deceive the Judges or the public, and obtain
a premium by misrepresentation, they shall
report that fact at once to the Director of
the Department, who shall report the matter to the Fair Management for action.
30. The decision of awarding Judges
shall be final and no appeal shall be considered except in case of protest.
31. Objection to any person serving as a

plainly on the entry blanks the Department,
Division and Class Number of the prize

attending to these directions and preparing their blanks before proceeding to make
entries.
25. The Director of each Department
must check the entries shown by the entry
books in each Division, with the exhibits
presented and so mark the entry books
that they will show what animals or article
were passed on by the judges.

Director in writing prior to making award,
giving good and sufficient reasons therefore

32. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere
with the Judges during the adjudications will

Information, Excitement, and the Chance to win $300
Open Tuesday - Friday 6 p.m.-10 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.-10 p.m.
It’s excitement galore in the Village Building for the 2015 Coosa Valley Fair. Not only will you have the opportunity to see the latest in a variety of products and services
displayed by local and regional vendors, but you may be the winner of a cash prize of $300 just for visiting the different exhibits in the building.
That’s right $300 cash prize by visiting the exhibits in the Village Building. It’s simple … as you enter the Village building you will be handed a card. Have your card validated at each vendor’s booth and drop it in the prize drum when you leave. One lucky name will be drawn for the $300 grand prize on Saturday evening at 10 p.m. You do
not have to be present to win, but it will be much more fun if you are present to see your name drawn.
That’s not all. Many of the vendors will be having their own nightly or weekly prize give-a-ways for your participation just by stopping at their exhibits.
Take a stroll down the street at the Village Building. It will be informative, educational, fun and hopefully a lucky experience for YOU.
RULES: Registration cards will be available to all visiting the Village Building 18 years of age or older. Visitors must have their personal card validated at each vendor’s booth
in order to be eligible for the drawing. No purchase is required and one winner will be selected at a random drawing Saturday evening. You do not have to be present to win.

for competition. Where sets are entered,
each piece must have fired signature. ‘Sets’

securely fastened together. Any shape, any
size; in all categories unless otherwise stated. Display stands will be furnished by the

Guild, Leona Clements Chapter, for damage
or theft.
If necessary, the Fair Chairman, designated by the Porcelain Art Guild, reserves
the right to create a class (subclass) with the
approval of The Coosa Valley Fair Association. Only judges, clerks, fair chairman and
elected officers of the Porcelain Art Guild will
be allowed in the exhibition area during acceptance of entries, judging and dismantling.
The Clerk, if possible, will be the ‘Best in
Show’ winner from the previous year since
this Honoree will have a display of her work
rather than entering the competition.
THE EXHIBITOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
DECIDING WHICH CLASS AN ENTRY IS
TO BE PLACED IN; ENTRIES WILL NOT BE
