MINNESOTA STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
Rules governing the management and control of the Minnesota State Fairgrounds and the Minnesota State Fair.
CHAPTER ONE – GENERAL
1.01 Authority: These rules are promulgated pursuant to authority granted the Minnesota State Agricultural Society by Minn. Stat.. § 37.16.
The Minnesota State Agricultural Society is not an agency of statewide jurisdiction, therefore, rules adopted by the Minnesota State
Agricultural Society have not been promulgated pursuant to Minn. Stat. Ch. 14 and will not be found in the bound volume of Minnesota rules.
1.02 Definitions: For purposes of these rules, the following definitions shall apply:
A.Board of managers: The board of managers is responsible for management and control of the Minnesota State Agricultural Society
including the annual election of its secretary.
B. Commercial space: Those areas and locations on the State Fairgrounds designated by the Society to be used for commercial exhibits and
concessions.
C. Commercial space committee: The committee of three or more members of the board of managers, designated by the president of the
Society, empowered to examine Society commercial space policies and the actions of the commercial space division and make
recommendations thereon to the board of managers.
D. Competitive exhibitor: Any person or firm which enters animals or articles for competitive exhibition at the State Fair.
E. Delegate: That employee of the Society given authority by the secretary to act on the secretary’s behalf in the instance specified.
F. Department superintendent: That delegate of the secretary who is head of a specific Society department.
G. Director: That delegate of the secretary who is head of a specific Society division.
H. License: An agreement whereby the Society grants to an entity the privilege to exhibit, disseminate information, sell, make deliveries of or
accept deposits for future deliveries of goods, services, or information on or from an assigned State Fairgrounds commercial space during
the period of the State Fair. Licenses will be granted in accordance with the Society’s commercial space policy and rules, upon timely and
proper application and showing of qualification, and if commercial space is available.
I. Minnesota State Agricultural Society (Society): The public corporation and department of state charged with the responsibility for
management and control of the State Fairgrounds and conducting the State Fair and other exhibitions on the State Fairgrounds.
J. Personal property: All privately owned buildings, tents, booths, structures, improvements, business equipment, fixtures or other
enclosures, whether portable or permanently affixed to State Fairgrounds property are personal property. A private party is precluded from
holding any interest in real property on the State Fairgrounds.
K. Secretary: The secretary of the Minnesota State Agricultural Society is also the executive vice president.
L. State Fair: An annual exhibition conducted by the Society on the State Fairgrounds.
M. State Fairgrounds: That certain area of land in Ramsey County, Minnesota defined and described in Minn. Stat. 37.01 and other real
estate parcels as recorded with Ramsey County Register of Deeds, including the area outside as well as inside the fenced portion thereof.
1.03 All pay gates: Entry into the State Fair shall be solely contingent upon the presentation and surrender of a valid ticket of admission in
accordance with the most current schedule of gate prices as established by the board of managers. Only properly identified emergency
personnel, such as police, fire and ambulance, as well as properly identified Society service personnel, shall be exempted from this rule when
engaged in legitimate emergency or service duty which requires passage through State Fairgrounds admission gates.
1.04 Gate controls: Admission gates and exhibit buildings of the State Fair will be open to visitors on days and during operating hours as set
by the board of managers. Persons not involved in the preparation or teardown of exhibits for the State Fair may be prohibited from entering
the State Fairgrounds during the preparation and teardown period. Gate admission fees will be charged during nighttime (non-operating) hours
with the same fee schedule in effect as during day time (operating) hours. Persons entering the State Fairgrounds during non-operating hours,
in addition to paying established gate fees, will be required to provide proof of their having business on the State Fairgrounds during said nonoperating periods. License holders and their employees needing to enter or remain on the State Fairgrounds during the overnight period must
first obtain an overnight badge from the appropriate Society department superintendent or division director. No badge will be issued without
proper identification.
1.05 Pass-out gates: A pass-out system is operated during the State Fair at admission gates. Persons exiting through these gates may,
upon request, obtain proper credentials for readmittance to the State Fairgrounds without additional charge. Readmittance will be honored the
day of issuance only.
1.06 Admission prices: The board of managers shall annually review and establish gate admission prices for persons and vehicles including
specific fee exemptions and discounts.
2
1.07 Vehicle restrictions: Maximum vehicle speed limits on the State Fairgrounds, as well as appropriate allowances and restrictions
dealing with unnecessary acceleration, vehicle parking, delivery hours, restricted areas, tow-away zones and impound arrangements, shall be
established by the secretary or delegate. The secretary or delegate shall provide for the placement of such traffic control signals, signs, and
other traffic control devices on the State Fairgrounds as deemed necessary for the safety, protection and control of the State Fairgrounds and
the people thereon. When any police officer or security person finds a vehicle illegally parked on the State Fairgrounds, they are authorized to
issue a citation, or provide for the removal and impoundment of such vehicle, or both. Cost of removal and storage shall be borne by the
vehicle’s owner.
1.08 Pedestrian right-of-way: When walking on or about any street, sidewalk or other area generally open to the public on the State
Fairgrounds, pedestrians shall at all times have the right-of-way as against all vehicles, other than identified emergency vehicles. Drivers of all
vehicles, other than identified emergency vehicles, shall yield the right-of-way to any and all pedestrians on the State Fairgrounds.
1.09 Two-wheeled and track-vehicles: Two-wheeled vehicles, such as bicycles, motorcycles and motor scooters, will not be allowed on the
State Fairgrounds during the State Fair unless such two-wheeled vehicles are on display in a commercial space licensed by the Society and, in
such case, said two-wheeled vehicles must be kept in the assigned commercial space and may not, under any circumstances, be operated on
the streets of the State Fairgrounds. Electric personal assistive mobility devices may be used on the State Fairgrounds by person that are
physically challenged. Track-type vehicles, including snowmobiles, may not be operated anywhere on the State Fairgrounds at any time of the
year without the express authorization and approval of the secretary or delegate.

caucus on the State Fairgrounds before or during the State Fair in any manner that interferes with the convenience and safety of any State
Fair patron, exhibitor or employee.
No person or group of persons shall banner, picket, march, protest, demonstrate, or caucus on the State Fairgrounds during any event held
on the State Fairgrounds while the annual State Fair is not in session (the off season) without first applying for and obtaining a permit from the
Secretary of the Minnesota State Agricultural Society. Applications must be submitted to the Secretary no later than 30 days prior to the first
day of the event. Application forms and the procedures and policies governing permitting decisions are available from the Secretary upon
request. This Rule does not replace or modify any other rule.
1.11 Handing out materials: The sale, posting or distribution of any merchandise, products, promotional items and printed or written material
except from a fixed location on the State Fairgrounds approved by the secretary or delegate shall be prohibited.
1.12 Advertising vehicles: The operation or parking of any sound truck or vehicle upon which advertising signs, political or otherwise, have
been affixed in any manner shall be prohibited anywhere on the State Fairgrounds. This rule is not applicable to a lettered service vehicle
advertising a firm or its products while making deliveries or to the normal advertising on bumpers and windows of motor vehicles.
1.13 Conflict of interest: No manager, officer or employee of the Society shall:

managers and stated in the Society bulletin covering expense reimbursement; or

A. It shall be the policy of the Society to foster the employment of all individuals with the Society in accordance with their fullest capacity and
ability, regardless of race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, marital or veteran status or status with regard
to public assistance or disability, and to safeguard their right to hold employment with the Society without discrimination; and
B. Every contract for or on behalf of the Society for materials, supplies, construction or licenses may be cancelled or terminated by the
Society when discrimination on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, marital or veteran status
or status with regard to public assistance or disability, exists in the hiring or employment of common or skilled labor by the contractor
pursuant to the contract for or on behalf of the Society.
1.16 Acceptance of gift: No manager, officer or employee of the Society shall accept from a person or company that does business with the
Society, any gift, gratuity, cash, merchandise or thing of value. This prohibition shall extend to the acceptance of food or beverage or
merchandise at less than full retail price from a license holder during the State Fair.
1.17 Hiring of relatives: No relative of a Society employee or a relative of a member of the board of managers shall be given preferential
treatment in being hired or promoted. Relatives may be precluded from working in the same Society department.
1.18 Dogs: During the period of the annual State Fair, no dogs or other pets shall be allowed on the State Fairgrounds. Exception: Dogs or
other pets may be allowed when part of an exhibition or demonstration authorized by the secretary or delegate. No other exceptions will be
allowed during the period of the State Fair.
During the non-fair period, no dogs or other pets shall be allowed in State Fair buildings, unless part of an exhibition or demonstration
authorized by the secretary or delegate. No dogs or other pets may be allowed on the State Fairgrounds at any time unless confined or
restrained on a leash of less than six feet in length. During fair and non-fair periods, society personnel are empowered to order the removal
from the State Fair any dog or pet in violation of the above, or found to be disturbing or endangering the public.
1.19 Roller skates, in-line skates and skateboards: Use of roller skates or in-line skates shall not be permitted on the State Fairgrounds

secretary or delegate in the legitimate conduct of Society work.
1.22 Electrical inspections and requirements.: Minn. Stat. 326.244, Sub. 4 authorizes the Society to provide for inspection of fixed and
transient electrical installations within its jurisdiction and to that end the Society has elected to adopt by reference as if fully set forth herein the
following sections of Minn. Stat., Chapter 326 dealing with electrical regulations and inspections: A. 326.01 Definitions; B. 326.242 Licenses;
C. 326.2421 Alarm and Communication Systems; D. 326.243 Safety Standards; E. 326.244 Inspection, except with respect to fees; F. 326.245
Manufacture of Electrical Apparatus; exempt; and G. 326.246 Crimes.
With respect to Minn. Stat. Sections 326.44 and 326.246, adopted above by reference. wherever the words “the Board,” referring to the State
Board of Electricity, are used therein, the words “the Society”, should be substituted therefore.
The Society will undertake inspections within its jurisdiction in compliance with applicable requirements of the Minnesota Board of Electricity
Rules, Chapter 3800, which are hereby adopted by reference, along with any future revisions, modifications or amendments thereto, except
with respect to fees, which shall be established by the Society. With respect to said rules, wherever the words “the Board,” referring to the
State Board of Electricity, are used therein, the words “the Society” should be substituted therefore.
Electrical inspections shall be accomplished by an electrical inspector(s) contracted by the Society to provide such service with qualifications
and credentials as are required for the performance of such duties and who further meet the standards specified in Minnesota Board of
Electricity Rules, Chapter 3800.3630.
Each individual, partnership, corporation or other business association doing electrical work within Society jurisdiction shall file with the Society
a copy of their current license issued by the Minnesota Board of Electricity or such other evidence of such license as may be provided by said
board. No electrical construction, remodeling, replacement or repair shall be undertaken within the jurisdictions of the Society, except minor
repair work as defined in Minnesota Board of Electricity Rules, Chapter 3800.1100, without first having received an inspection from the Society.

1.23 Service animals: A service animal is a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. Service
animals can accompany people with disabilities in all areas where members of the public are allowed to go.
Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Service animals are
working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose
sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
Service Animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s
disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective
controls.
Inquiries, Exclusions, Charges, and Other Specific Rules Related to Service Animals
A. When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may ask two questions: (1) is the dog a
service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform. Staff cannot ask about the
person’s disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that
the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task.
B. A person with a disability cannot be asked to remove his service animal from the premises unless: (1) the dog is out of control and the
handler does not take effective action to control it or (2) the dog is not housebroken. When there is a legitimate reason to ask that a
service animal be removed, staff must offer the person with the disability the opportunity to obtain goods or services without the animal’s
presence.
In addition to service dogs, miniature horses that have been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities may
be allowed. (Miniature horses generally range in height from 24 inches to 34 inches measured to the shoulders and generally weigh
between 70 and 100 pounds.) Assessment factors are (1) whether the miniature horse is housebroken; (2) under the owner’s control; (3)
the facility can accommodate the miniature horse’s type, size, and weight; and (4) the miniature horse’s presence will not compromise
legitimate safety requirements necessary for the safe operation of the fair.
CHAPTER THREE – COMPETITIVE EXHIBITS
3.01 Competitive exhibition times: Times for the setup of State Fair competitive exhibits, the dismantling and removal of exhibits and the
hours of public viewing will be set annually by the secretary or delegate and will be stated in individual department premium books.
3.02 Responsibility for competitive exhibits: The Society will use diligence to protect livestock and articles entered for exhibition, after their
arrival and placement, but under no circumstances will it be responsible for any loss, injury or damage done to or caused by any animal or
article on exhibition. It is the responsibility of the competitive exhibitor to obtain appropriate insurance for any damages due to or caused by the
exhibit and to indemnify and hold the Society harmless against any claim arising out of incidents involving the exhibit. Removal or pickup of
exhibits at established times as stated in individual department premium books, entry blanks or entry receipts, shall be the responsibility of the
competitive exhibitor. The Society shall not be responsible for any exhibit not removed or picked up at established time and the secretary or
delegate will dispose of all exhibits not removed or picked up within one year of such established time.
3.03 Board of Animal Health: The exhibition of livestock on the State Fairgrounds shall be under the supervision of the Minnesota Board of
Animal Health and its applicable rules and regulations will be complied with in full. Health requirements for individual departments will be set
forth in their respective premium books.
3.04 General competitive entry requirements: Competitive exhibitors must file proper entry blanks with any applicable fees prior
to the designated closing date for entries. The Society reserves the right to refuse entries or prohibit the exhibition of animals or articles entered if the showing of such animals or articles is contrary to law, or violative of the Society's interest in providing for the health, safety and protection of its patrons. Exhibits entered in the wrong class or category may be transferred prior to judging at the discretion of the department
superintendent to the proper class or category of competition.
Deception of any type by an exhibitor, as determined by the department superintendent will ban the exhibitor from any further competition and
result in the forfeiture of all premiums. Mechanical or artistic articles must be entered in the name of the artist, inventor, manufacturer or maker.
The Society desires that all prospective exhibits be given a fair opportunity to enter their exhibits and to have them judged on the basis of their
individual merits without favoritism or undue influence. This means that, as a minimum safeguard, an objectively qualified prospective exhibitor
shall not be given an advantage or placed at a disadvantage because of his or her familial relationship with a Society officer or member of the
Board of Managers. On any occasion when a relative of a Society officer or member of the Board of Managers has objectively qualified for the
entry of an exhibit, the related Society officer or Board of Managers' member shall not have any written or oral communication with either the
affected department superintendent or exhibit judge before, during and after the judging process is completed as the communication relates to
the competition in which the exhibit is entered.
5
3.05 Animal competitive entry requirements: When animals are entered for State Fair competition by an entity other than an individual,
that entity (whether a corporation, partnership, breeding establishment or other) must have been in existence as of the closing date of entries.
Appropriate documentation showing the status of the entity must be available for inspection by the department superintendent. All animals
entered under a breed classification must be recorded in a breeding association recognized as representative of the particular breed. The
competitive exhibitor must produce a certificate of registry at the request of the department superintendent. All animals shown must be owned
by the competitive exhibitor from the time of making entry, except as otherwise provided in special rules of the department.
3.06 Judges: Competent and qualified persons will be employed as judges by the Society to evaluate all competitive exhibits. Judges shall
be responsible for reading and understanding the general rules and all special rules applicable to the department or class in which they are to
serve. No person who is a competitive exhibitor may act as judge in a class in which they are competing.
3.07 Interference with judging: Judges shall report to the department superintendent any competitive exhibitor who in any way, whether in
person or by agent or employee, interferes with them or shows any disrespect to them during the judging. The department superintendent may
exclude any such competitive exhibitor from further competition. The secretary may withhold from such competitive exhibitor any or all
premiums that have been awarded and may also exclude such competitive exhibitor from further competition at the State Fair.
3.08 Award books: Judges and persons acting as clerks to the judges must use special care to record the proper names in the award books
after awards have been made. The judge, competitive department superintendent in charge and clerk recording the awards of the department
must sign the award book at the close of each class immediately after all awards in such class have been made.
3.09 Qualification of entries: If there is any question as to the regularity of an entry or the right of any animal or article to compete in any
class or category, the judge or judges shall report same to the competitive department superintendent in charge for adjustment. Judges shall
place a reserve award in each class. Should any animal or article awarded a prize be disqualified, the animal or article awarded the next lower
prize shall graduate into the next higher position, if in the opinion of the judge, it is worthy of such prize. Judges must not award a prize to an
unworthy exhibit. No premium or distinction of any kind shall be given to any animal or article that is not deserving.
3.10 Finality of decisions: In judging livestock, the decision of the official State Fair veterinarian and judge as to soundness shall be final.
The decision of the judge shall be final in all cases, except when mistake, fraud, misrepresentation or collusion, not known at the time of the
award, is discovered. In such cases, the secretary shall take appropriate action or refer the matter to the board of managers.
3.11 Interpretation of rules: A faithful observance of all rules governing the exhibit will be required, and when in doubt as to the application
or meaning of a rule, the competitive department superintendent in charge shall interpret such a rule. This interpretation when requested by
either a competitive exhibitor or judge must be reduced to writing and returned to the secretary or delegate with the award books.
3.12 Protests: A protest from the decision of a judge will only be accepted from a competitive exhibitor named in the official judge’s sheet for
competition in the class or class under protest, and must be filed with the secretary within five hours after the award has been made. An award
is deemed to have been made when the notation of the decision of the judge is entered into the department award book. All protests must be
made in writing and must be accompanied by a deposit of one hundred dollars. The protest must state plainly and specifically the facts upon
which the complaint or appeal is based. The right to appeal will lie only when it is charged that the award has been made in violation of the
rules governing the exhibit, or when it is charged that the decision of the judge has been influenced or interfered with by another person.
No protest or appeal based upon the statement that the judge or judges are incompetent or have over-looked an animal or article will be
considered. The one hundred dollar deposit will be returned only if the protest or appeal is upheld. In protest and appeal instances where rules
established by a breed association or other competitive organization with which the Society has an agreement differ from this rule, rules of the
association or organization shall govern.
3.13 Late showing of exhibit: No animal or exhibit will be judged or awarded a prize if it is not ready for judging and promptly brought into
the show ring when the class is called.
3.14 Premium money: Cash premiums awarded will be paid by check made out to the competitive exhibitor and mailed to the post office
address as stated on the entry blank. Competitive exhibitors may forfeit all premium money if exhibits are removed from the grounds prior to
the official time of release. The board of managers reserves the right to make reductions in premiums if the financial conditions of the Society
make such reductions necessary.

classes 310 and 311. Afghans must be no larger than 50 in. x 76 in. or 3800 sq. in. and no smaller than 45 in. x 60 in. or 2700 sq. in.

the craft and can’t keep quiet? Whether you’ve been doing this a long-time or for the first-time - we want to taste your homemade
recipe and know your real-life story.

1290 Best Dill Pickle flavor - Using fresh cucumbers and ingredients to produce a delicious, uniquely flavored pickle. Try

sensation. Use garlic or not, but keep the dill and produce a perfectly pleasant pickle!
1291 Best Hot & Savory Dill Pickle flavor - Using fresh cucumbers and flavored vinegars, alcohols or liquors along with heat or spice
coming from peppers - ramp it up with chilies, chipotles or... watch out - Habaneras! This should be a flavorful pickled cucumber that
can really kick!
1292 Best Dill Pickle recipe - Using fresh cucumbers with flavors from “Around the World” such as Asian flavors native to Thai,
Chinese, Japanese, Korean cooking; flavors used in Spanish or Mexican cooking; or flavors used in Far Eastern/Indian cooking. Tap
into your heritage and add some authentic flavor from your homeland or just those spice blends that you love to create a robust fusion
of wordly flavors.
1293 Best Flavorful Relish - Using cucumber or other fruits and vegetables. Show us how you make a dish delish with a relish so
flavorful we’ll boast. Make it a super salsa or a rich relish to flavor burgers, hot dogs or your favorite meal. Season with fruit or
vegetables - make it zing or sweetly sing, but bring the flavor.
1294 Best Vegetable - Get inspired by the garden, using a single or mixed combination of vegetables to create a colorful giardiniera
with a variety of veggies or just your favorites. Vinegar or wine or just a salted brine is fine. Make it spicy or savory and imagine it

served on an antipasto platter, as a flavorful side to sandwiches, or enjoyed right out of the jar!
