General Livestock Show Rules and Regulations
Updated August, 2011.
Please note: Parking is at a premium at this event. PLEASE DO NOT PARK YOUR LIVESTOCK TRAILERS IN THE PUBLIC PARKING LOT! They should be parked either in the exercise arena near Fanning Bridge, or behind the covered arena, along the fence along Airport Rd. Alpaca folks can park behind the Sales Arena, and Llama Folks can also park behind A, B and C Barns. Anyone parking their trailer in the public area will be asked to move it - and it'll be a lot harder finding a good place to park it then, than if it was parked right the first time.
- Entry Fees: See individual show rules for entry fee information. .
- Exhibit and Sale: those wishing to bring animals to exhibit and perhaps to sell, but not for show, may apply for an exhibit booth space/pen. Please refer to prices in the individual show entry forms. A maximum of 4 animals is allowed per pen. Space for these animals will be assigned pending availability of barn space after show animals have been accommodated. All sales will be handled by private treaty.
