An exhibitor who violates any of the following rules or special rules in any department will forfeit all privileges and premiums and be subject to such penalty as the Management may order. 2. Entry form completely and properly filled in must be submitted in all departments on or before the closing date specified. Auxiliary aides or services for persons with disabilities are available upon request. Please call the Fair Office at by 5:00 p.m. three days prior to needing a service. 3. All exhibits when assigned space become subject to the control of the Department Superintendent. 4. The Management reserves the right to reject any exhibit offered if it is objectionable in any way, if it requires an excessive amount of space, if it is in conflict with department requirements, or if the capacity of the department has been reached. 5. The Department Superintendent has the right to refuse an entry from anyone showing disrespect or causing disruption in the Department. Disrespect shown to any Judge or to any award, by an exhibitor, may forfeit all awards made to the offending exhibitor. 6. All exhibits must be in place as specified in the special rules of each department. No exhibits will be released before specified time. Competitive exhibits which are not claimed within one week after the close of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned by the exhibitor and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. 7. Exhibitors must attend to the delivery in person or by agent of articles or animals for exhibition to the Department Superintendent and must claim their exhibits at the close of the Fair. Do not send exhibits by freight or express to the Fair or to any of its officers. 8. All exhibits must bear the entry tag given by the clerk at the time of entry. In paying premiums no evidence of awards will be recognized except the judging sheets properly signed by the Judge and Superintendent, as ribbons frequently become misplaced. Premium ribbons or cards have no value as to payment of premiums, since premiums are paid only from the records of the Judge s book. 9. Where there is but one exhibit in a class the award shall be made on merit alone and any premium or no premium may be awarded. The merit of the article, in the opinion of the Judge, shall be final. 10. Exhibitors must present their claim checks to the departments before removing exhibits. 1

2 11. No person entering an exhibit for competition will be allowed to withdraw or change the entry after the opening of the show. 12. In all cases, articles or animals must be entered in the name of the bona fide owners, except where otherwise specified. A transfer of ownership for the purpose of exhibiting will debar any animal or article and operate against the payment of premiums offered by the Western Idaho Fair. 13. COMPETITION: Competition is defined as a contest for supremacy between two or more animals or articles or products owned by separate exhibitors. Two or more exhibits entered by the same person or household do not constitute competition, which includes animals registered to two separate individuals belonging to the same family or farm. 14. Exhibitors may make as many entries in each class as desired, except as specified in the special rules of each department, but no exhibitor will be allowed more than two premiums in any one class. 15. No animal or article may compete in more than one class, nor receive more than one premium except in performance classes or as one of a pair, group, or championships. 16. Premium will be designated by ribbons as follows: First... Blue Ribbon Second... Red Ribbon Third... White Ribbon Fourth... Pink Ribbon Fifth... Yellow Ribbon Sixth... Green Ribbon Seventh... Nile Green Ribbon Eighth... Tan Ribbon Champion... Purple Ribbon Reserve Champion... Lavender Ribbon 17. Prior to judging, each Superintendent will inspect all exhibits to determine if they are entered in the class in which they should compete. In cases where it is obvious that entries are not correctly posted due to a clerical error, the Superintendent will contact the Premium Office in order for a change to be made. 18. PROTESTS: All protests must be submitted in writing, setting forth grounds of protest. Protests against the exhibition of any article or animal must be filed with the manager of the Fair at least twenty-four hours before the awards are made. In every case of protest the party protesting must deposit with the manager the sum of $50.00, which sum shall in the event of the protest being sustained, be returned to the complainant, and if the protest be not sustained, the said sum shall be forfeited to the Western Idaho Fair. Protests will be considered by the Board at its first meeting after filing of the protest. 19. Management has carefully selected the Judges, and each is recognized for his/her capability of making expert decisions in the respective division for which chosen. All exhibitors making entry for the Fair accept these Judges and agree to abide by their decisions. The judging time schedule is printed at the beginning of each department. The decision of the Judge will be final in all cases. If any exhibitor attempts to interfere with the Judge in any manner during the time he is judging or publicly expresses disapproval of the decisions made by the Judge, he will be excluded from further competition and any premium previously won will be forfeited. The public will not be allowed in the exhibit areas while judging is being done. We thank these judges for their service to the community. In recognition of their service to the Western Idaho Fair, the judges are extended an Honorarium. 20. Awards will be made according to the merits of the exhibit. Placings will be awarded only as listed. Judges are encouraged to award all possible placings, but may disqualify an entry at their discretion. Special awards will be made only after the Judges have agreed with the Department Superintendent that such award should be made. 21. The Owner or Custodian of property of any kind brought to the Fairgrounds, either for exhibit or for other purposes, assumes, as a condition of its admission to the grounds, all risk of responsibility for its loss, damage, or theft. The Fair employs guards, traffic directors and other personnel to protect property on the grounds and insure the safety of persons. The Fair and its officers and employees cannot and will not accept responsibility and liability for any damage or injury resulting from theft, fire, the elements, accidents or other conditions or causes, whether to exhibits or vehicles on the grounds and articles left therein or any other property of any nature whatsoever. Exhibitors having property on the grounds should make their own arrangements for guarding and protecting same. Presentation of entry shall be deemed acceptance of the rules. Exhibitors exempt the Western Idaho Fair, its officers, directors and employees from liability for any loss, damage or injury to himself or his property, or injury to any person or the property of any person by any animal owned or exhibited by him and shall indemnify the said Western Idaho Fair against all claims and any injuries or damages arising from actions or negligence of the exhibitor. 22.

9 DIVISION 5 HEIRLOOMS Definition: An heirloom is a variety that is at least 50 years old and is open-pollinated (can reproduce true from seed). Past generations had a diverse array of vegetable, fruit, flower and herb varieties. These varieties were adapted to the climate, soil conditions, diseases and insects of their growing regions. Remembering the potato famine in Ireland and considering the genetic engineering being done with our food crops, it is vital that we keep the diverse gene pool of past varieties alive. Thanks to concerned gardeners and seed saving organizations, many old varieties are available to us again. Pay homage to our grandparents and history try an heirloom this year.
