Stalls are generally assigned, you may request to be next to someone, but we cannot guarantee it.
Entry day: Health Check is 7:00 a.m. – Noon on Sunday, August 10 at Gate 3 (Shawnee Rd.) then proceed to barn. After unloading and checking in with your animal, check in with your Superintendent or Asst. Superintendent and proceed to the Entry office before 2:00 pm.
There is a Mandatory meeting on Sunday @ 5:00 p.m.
Fair week: Exhibitors are required to clean your stall two times a day at least. It’s good to check in periodically to see that stalls are clean. Exhibitors failing to keep their stall clean will fall under the 3 Strike Rule (see page 13-14 of exhibitor handbook). All tack areas are to be kept clean and neat.
If we have HOT weather, check your Llamas/Alpacas water, it is very easy for them to overheat. They need water at ALL times.
Each exhibitor is asked to sign up for barn duty – staying at the barn and talking to people about our animals and picking up the aisles and checking for water if it’s hot.
We also rotate moms and babies to the front “show off” pens.
Show Days: We will have a meeting with the judges before you show for questions or concerns. Please be in or around the barn so you can be involved in this. If you are showing other animals at the same time, please let Supt’s know so they can get info to you.
Llamas/Alpacas will be released Sunday starting at 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Exhibitors should plan to help clean up and tear down and load up panels when the truck comes.
Premium checks may be picked up at the Entry Office on Saturday of fair from 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. and also, on Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. They can be cashed either of these days!
