last updated 6/21/10
Exhibits:
1. All exhibitors agree to be bound by the rules & regulations of the Warren County Fair.
2. The Fair Management reserves the right to amend or ad to these rules and regulations as its judgment may determine.
3. During fair week reasonable care will be taken to protect all exhibits on display from all injury and damage, but the Fair is not, in any way, to be held responsible for accidents, loss or damage by water, fire, theft, or otherwise, whatever may be the cause or extent of the damage or loss. Exhibits not removed during the stipulated removal time allotted by the Fair are the responsibility of the owner; the Fair cannot assure the well being of the exhibits.
4. Entries will be made according to classifications as listed in Official Premium Book. Application for entry must be signed.
5. Premiums, as listed, may be given for meritorious exhibits. In cases where there is no competition, judges may give an award such as they deem the exhibit is worth to receive. Same rules apply where there are fewer entries in any class than the number of premiums offered. The judges may, at their discretion, award a prize or prizes of such grade as the exhibit deserves.
6. It shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor to make known the proper name of the article or breed of livestock he is entering. Any item entered improperly will be disqualified to receive a prize, but the judges will mark the correct name on the entry tag for the benefit of the owner so the same mistake in entering need not be made the second time.
7. All entries must be grown, produced or made in the county since the last fair. (Except where the fair accepts exhibits from other counties or states.)
8. Superintendents of a department reserve the right of refusing to accept any entry. Furthermore, the superintendents reserve the right to bar from competition animals, vegetables, flower, poultry, products and manufactured articles of decidedly inferior quality and those not possessing sufficient merit to warrant recognition.
9. Chairpersons of a department reserve the right to disqualify and remove from area any exhibitor whose behavior is disruptive to exhibiting and judging of entries. Such person may be barred from future fair exhibiting.
10. The Fair Board of Directors may, at any time, order the removal of any exhibit or part of exhibit in poor condition and any article unfit to show may be excluded. No ribbon, trophies, awards, or exhibits may be removed at any time before the close of the fair. No trucks may enter the barn area prior to release time. Failure to comply will result in the forfeiture of premiums.
11. During the judging, buildings, except livestock arenas, are to be closed to everyone, except fair officials, judges, and necessary attendants. No exhibitor or his agent shall communicate with the judge during time of determining the awards, except to answer questions proposed by the judges. Any exhibitor interfering with the judges while making awards shall forfeit any premium to which he would otherwise be entitled.
12. All livestock for premium must be the property of the owner thirty (30) days or longer.
13. No person shall be allowed in the ring while stock is being judged, except judge, superintendents and necessary attendants.
14. Should any animal awarded a prize be disqualified, the animals gaining the lower prize shall move into the next higher position if, in the opinion of the judges, the animals are worthy of such prizes.
15. Overfitting of cattle will be discriminated against. Any artificial means used to change the form or shape of any animal will disqualify it from competition.
16. When on exhibition in the ring, each animal must be under halter, except oxen, and in charge of owner or employee.

While it is the full intent of the Warren County Fair, Inc. to pay all premiums as announced and won by exhibitors, in the event that the receipts of the Fair are not sufficient to meet all expenses and to pay all premiums, the Directors of the Warren County Fair reserve the right to pay premiums on a pro rata basis in full discharge of premium obligations.
