ADVICE TO EXHIBITORS
1.
Make your entries early, either in person or by mail, and take
your exhibits to the grounds at the time designated in the rules. Please
do not remove them until the close of the Fair.
2.
Upon your arrival at the grounds with stock or other articles for
exhibition, inquire for the superintendent of the department in which
you are an exhibitor. They will conduct you to the stall or space your
stock or exhibits are to occupy.
3.
Entries must be made in the name of a bona-fide owner. Violation
of this rule will result in forfeiture.
4.
If you desire any information in regards to the business of the
exhibition, go to the superintendent of the department in which you are
an exhibitor and they will gladly give you all the information needed.
5.
The Superintendent in charge of the department will deal with
false representation, interference or un-sportsmanlike conduct by an
exhibitor or their agent, where the exhibit is entered. There will be no
appeal of this decision.
6.
Protests against awards must be in writing indicating the
reason. The protest must be filed with the Secretary not later than the
day after the award is made. Persons submitting a protest will be
granted a hearing, if deemed necessary, by the Schuylkill County Fair
Board of Directors.
7.
By following these suggestions you will save yourself much
disappointment and trouble. You will go home with a better feeling by
making friends and by having contributed to the enjoyment of others.
8.
Plan now for next years Schuylkill County Fair. If you are
planning to exhibit or would like to show animals at the next Fair you
should plan early.
