2. With the entry of each article, a card will be furnished on which the exhibitor must specify class, section and the number of the entry. Such cards must be attached and remain attached to the article during the exhibition or until removed by the Director in Charge.

3. No exhibitor shall be allowed to have his or her name or any distinguishing marks on any animal or article exhibited. Any thus marked shall be set aside by the judges. No exhibitor may enter more than one article in any one section, except livestock, unless stated otherwise.

4. All exhibitors shall be subject to the regulations and any difficulty or dispute that may arise shall be decided by the Board of Directors, a majority to form a quorum, from whose decision, exhibitors, upon entering, waive the right to any appeal; and all protests must be handed to the Secretary in writing accompanied by a deposit of $5.00 within two hours of the cause of protest.

5. Caretakers will be placed in charge of all articles exhibited in the hall and Directors will take every possible precaution under the circumstances to ensure the safety of articles sent to the exhibition; with it distinctly understood that the owners themselves must take the risk of exhibiting them, and should any article be accidentally injured, lost, or stolen, the Directors will give all the assistance in their power towards the recovery of same, but will not make any payment for the value thereof.

6. All animals will be shown in their respective ring and owners or attendants must be prepared to bring them out when called for, or forfeit claims to the prizes awarded. Feed must be supplied by exhibitor.

7. Every exhibitor, upon payment of an exhibitor's fee, will be given an exhibitors number for the current year, which, upon presentation, will entitle him to exhibit at the Fair. GATE ADMISSION IS NOT INCLUDED IN EXHIBITOR'S FEE.

8. Tractors, Automobiles and Equipment brought onto the grounds for the purpose of display are to be put in a place set aside by the Directors for the same. Static tractor and equipment displays do not qualify for a cash bursary, but each display owner will be given two free weekend passes. Working displays approved by the Directors which require staffing by the owner will qualify for a cash bursary to help offset the cost of operating the display.

9. In all classes, when only one exhibitor exhibits, only one prize money will be paid.

10. Where ownership is doubted, all prize money will be held until bonafide ownership is proven to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors.

13. The Society will not be responsible for any accidents or loss of property during the Exhibition.

14. It does not follow that because a prize is offered for any particular animal or article that it must be awarded unless the exhibit is really of sufficient merit. The Judges are requested to note this fact.
