The 4H exhibitor must have a registered 4H animal exhibit prior to signing up for a camping spot. This will be checked with the 4H extension office prior to entering your camping application into the lottery to assure eligibility. (No rabbits or poultry exhibitors will be accepted)
Additional tents of any kind will not be allowed next to your camper UNLESS they have a Camping Permit/Pass. (A camping permit is good for one camper or tent only)
Only vehicles with livestock passes are allowed on grounds; your camper tow vehicle will need a livestock pass displayed to remain on the grounds. If you plan to come on and off the fairgrounds during the fair with your tow vehicle or any other vehicle you will need to have a livestock pass visible in your vehicle window or be subject to towing. Your livestock pass must be filled out with your last name and cell phone number. A camping pass is NOT a permit to park your vehicle. Livestock passes are given by the fair board directors for your species when you bring in your animal(s).
