STATE FAIR

Dear Fair Friends,

It is hard to believe, but the 2019 N.C. State Fair is just a few months away. If winning a blue ribbon at the State Fair is on your bucket list, now is the perfect time to begin planning for the competition. The online 2019 North Carolina State Fair Competitions Premium Book will provide all the details you will need to put the final touches on your entries.

Within this guide, you will find a range of competition categories, including culinary, arts and photog-raphy, 4-H exhibits, hobbies and handicrafts, sewing, quilting and needlepoint, flowers, gardening, fruit and vegetable production, livestock production and much more. The competitions are a Fair tra-dition that have carried on for more than 160 years.

Our theme, “Nothing Could Be Finer,” speaks to our vision for this annual event and the level of com-petitive talent. The fair is all about seeking out and showcasing the finest of North Carolina. Every year I am amazed at the talent I see on display during the State Fair, and I look forward to seeing this year’s entries. The State Fair is a fun way to celebrate everything that is uniquely North Carolina.

It wouldn’t be the N.C. State Fair without our world-class midway, the deep-fried foods, music and free grounds entertainment. We believe it offers something for everyone. Because truly, “Nothing Could Be Finer” than to be in North Carolina at the N.C. State Fair!

Take the time to find the right competitions for your talents, get started on your latest masterpiece, and we look forward to seeing you at the 2019 N.C. State Fair, Oct. 17-27.– the N.C. State Fair.

Sincerely

Steven W. Troxler Commissioner

INFORMATION AND GENERAL RULES FOR EXHIBITORS AND PATRONS

Please report any discourtesies by gatemen, concessionaires, showmen, or others connected with the Fair. If, for any reason, there is a misunderstanding about admission at gates or elsewhere, please pay the admission price asked, take a receipt for same, and come directly to the Manager's office. Please do not block traffic and delay others by prolonged arguments with ticket-sellers, gatemen and ticket-takers who are working on strict orders from the management and are not allowed to vary from them.

Drunkenness, quarreling, or the use of profane or obscene language will not be allowed on the grounds. No begging will be permitted.

No peddling, hawking, or selling of any kind will be allowed in the buildings or on the grounds except by special license obtained from the Manager.

The management of the State Fair reserves the right to amend, add to and interpret the foregoing and following Rules and Regulations, and to arbitrarily settle and determine all questions and differences in regard thereto, or otherwise arising out of, connected with, or incident to the Fair. In the event of conflict between the General Rules and the special rules which appear as headnotes of the various divisions and departments of the Fair, the latter will take precedence.

Disregard of any rule, misrepresentation on the part of the exhibitor, concessionaire or patrons will forfeit all premiums won, privileges granted, fees paid, and rights to further participation in the Fair.

ENTRlES Exhibitors are encouraged to enter online at www.ncstatefair.org and to make all entries early. Paper entry forms will be charged a $5.00 processing fee. The right is reserved to reject any entry or entries. Entries received after all space is taken must be rejected.

You will find the CLOSING DATES FOR ENTRIES set out in the Rules and Regulations and the general headings of each of the various departments. These dates vary with the SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE SPECIFIC DEPARTMENT. Check these Closing Dates carefully.

Competition is OPEN TO THE WORLD in the Horse Show, and some livestock departments. In most other divisions and departments competition is limited to residents of North Carolina.

All entries must be made in the name of the owner, breeder, manufacturer, grower, producer, or one whose skill the exhibit represents. A firm, to be entitled to exhibit as such, must have been organized not less than 30 days prior to the closing date for entries, and such firm must have been organized as a bona fide firm for the purpose of producing, or buying and selling the articles or animals it proposes to exhibit in the name of such firm. A firm will be regarded as one exhibitor.

Online entry or official printed forms or copies of forms MUST BE USED in making applications for entry.

Make sure to use the appropriate entry forms for each department. Be sure to fill out the application form completely, accurately and legibly. Give your rural route number, post office box number, or city street address, zip code +4, telephone number, and e-mail address. Exhibitors are fully aware that choosing NOT to disclose their FULL SSN at the time of registration (paper entry forms or online), EVEN IF THE EXHIBITOR HAS SUBMITTED AN ENTRY IN THE PAST, forfeits any and all premium monies to which they were entitled.

No article or animals will be entitled to exhibition space until proper entry has been made.

No entry will be accepted after the closing date listed for each department. Once an entry is made, it cannot be changed except where it is improperly classed or a mistake has been made in copying the original entry—in which event the changes can be made only with the permission of the Department Superintendent, or Director in charge, AND THEN ONLY IN THE OFFICE OF THE "ENTRY SUPERINTENDENT." If the records are altered and do not conform with the information on file in the Entry Department, payment of premiums will be withheld. No person except personnel of the Entry Department will be allowed to see the entries, or have access to the entry books, until after the awards are made. The same article or animal cannot be entered in more than one lot number (except as otherwise stated in the Special Department Rules and Regulations). Collections and displays must be made up of specimens, other than those entered in single (individual) classes unless otherwise noted.

Livestock entries must be submittted online at www.ncstatefair.org, or mailed to the address below. No faxes will be accepted.

EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORSThe dates on which your exhibits must be in place at the N.C.State Fair VARY FROM ONE DEPARTMENT TO AN-OTHER. These dates are set out in the Department Headings and Rules and Regulations. Check these dates carefully so you can get your exhibits IN PLACE AT THE PROPER TIME TO BE JUDGED.

Remember! All exhibits must be officially entered in the Fair on official printed forms provided for that purpose, or online, before the closing date for entries in the department. No article or animal will be entitled to space or considered in the judging until proper entry has been made. Removal of exhibits before the date and time specified will be cause for forfeit of all premiums won, all fees paid, and the right to further participation in the Fair.

In all but livestock departments, entries and exhibits will remain in place through the entire fair. Release times are scheduled for the day following the fair due to the lack of parking available nearby for those to pick up entries or exhibits, and in an effort to keep vehicles off the grounds during crowded conditions. The regulation will also assure those attending the fair during the evening of the final day of seeing the same exhibits and entries as those attending earlier.

Division Directors and Department Superintendents will have full authority over allocation of space, and will have direct supervision of all exhibits which are considered on exhibition as a part of the Fair’s attractions, subject to use as these Directors and Superintendents see fit to add to the educational values of the Fair. Livestock able to be led or driven, or which will follow, must participate in parades and group exhibitions as directed by the Department Superintendent.

All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor. All stalls and pens (except entries in Special Exhibits) will be well bedded one time by the Fair, free of charge. Thereafter, exhibitors will be required to furnish their own bedding and keep all stalls and pens clean.

The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exhibit which does not reflect merit and which would not be a credit to both the exhibitor and the Fair. Also, the right is reserved to reject exhibits which are deemed objectionable or unsuitable for exhibition. All entries are accepted conditionally pending inspection of the article or animal to be exhibited. Any article or animal which proves to be misrepresented or falsely classed will be rejected and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in the Fair will be denied.

Division Directors, Department Superintendents, and/or Judges must report disqualification of entries to the Manager of the State Fair immediately after such action is taken. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL JUDGING BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL AND PREMIUMS PAID IN A CLASS WHERE DISQUALIFICATION IS RECOMMENDED UNTIL APPROVAL OF THE DISQUALIFICATION(S) IS OBTAINED FROM THE FAIR MANAGER.

Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise and distribute literature and free samples from their place of exhibit only, but may not sell any article or animal from their exhibit space without a permit from the manager. The distribution of advertising matter which conflicts in any manner with a concession sold by the Management is prohibited.

Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping the space in and around their exhibits, including unused space, aisles and roadways, clean and free of rubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit booth and concession stand must be thoroughly cleaned by the exhibitor or concessionaire at the end of each Fair day. Failure to do so will be cause for cancellation of contract. No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sublet without permission of the Fair manager.

JUDGING AND AWARDS

Any and all participants in any and all competitions covered by this online Premium Book listing hereby acknowledge that they are voluntarily agreeing to participate in said event. Any and all participants in any and all events covered by this online Premium Book hereby expressly acknowledge in a knowing and informed manner that the participant has no constitutional or statutory right to participate or compete in any and all events covered by this online Premium Book. By participating, participants agree to abide by and be subject to all rules and procedures applicable to the event entered as stated in this online Premium Book.

Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its mere presence. It must be individually worthy. It is not the policy of the Fair to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute premiums equally among exhibitors. No premium will be awarded to any exhibit that does not possess high intrinsic merit.

Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL CLASS, AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN ANY GROUP CLASS.

“Participant” includes competitors, exhibitors, immediate family members, and any other members involved in the fitting and showing of an animal.

No participant may accompany judges during their deliberations except such attendants as are necessary to handle and show livestock and other such exhibits. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during their adjudication or who publicly expresses disapproval of the decision of the judges, will be excluded from further competition and any premiums previously won will be forfeited.

GENERAL RULES

9

No participant may attempt to influence, interfere with or publicly express disapproval of the show superintendent. Such behavior will result in the participant being excluded from further competition, and any premiums previously won will be forfeited.

Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging reports, which will be signed by the judge and by the Department Superintendent or Director. Ribbons or designation of placing will be securely attached to the articles upon which they were awarded if possible, but the ribbons have no value in the payment of premiums since they may become detached and find their way on to the wrong exhibit.

PROTESTSThe protest procedures and remedies set out in this section of the online Premium Book listing are the exclusive procedures and remedies concerning any protest, discipline or complaint regarding any action of the Fair arising in any way from participation in any and all events covered by this online Premium Book listing.

Decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except in cases of protest in writing submitted to the Livestock Director and the State Fair Manager, with strong evidence of fraud or violation of the rules of the Fair.

Any and all participants in any and all events covered by this online Premium Book expressly acknowledge and expressly agree that they will have the burden of going forward and the burden of proof concerning the establishment of grounds for any protest, discipline or complaint brought under the provisions of this online Premium Book listing.

Any and all participants in any and all events covered by this online Premium Book listing may file a protest, other than those involving the results of drug testing, any time prior to the show and up to 9AM the day after the show involving the class in question.

Any and all participants in any and all events covered by this online Premium Book listing shall have 10 days following the receipt of testing results to file any protests, challenges of disciplinary action or complaints brought under the provisions of this online Premium Book listing involving the results of drug testing.

The N.C. State Fair will not consider any protests, challenges of disciplinary action or complaints based upon the statement that a judge or judges are incompetent.

Any and all livestock protests, challenges of disciplinary action or complaints filed pursuant to this paragraph shall be accompanied by a deposit of $250 which will be forfeited if the protest is not sustained. Deposit must be filed with the State Fair Manager contemporaneously with any and all protests, challenges of disciplinary action or complaints.

Should fraud, deception or any violation of the rules covered by this online Premium Book listing be discovered prior to the sale, such animal shall not be permitted to sell. If the Grand Champion is disqualified at the discretion of the State Fair Manager, the Reserve Grand Champion will become the Grand Champion. If a third place animal was identified it may be moved up to Reserve Grand Champion at the discretion of the State Fair Manager. No other animals will be advanced.

Should a violation be discovered after the sale, all sale money shall be returned to the buyer. All placings in the show will stand. No animals will be advanced.

Any attempt to misrepresent an animal in any way will be considered fraud and deception, and can result in disqualification and an indefinite ban from the N.C. State Fair. In addition, any participant whose animals are found suspect of using illegal drugs or barred for any other reason at any fair or livestock show holding membership in the International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE) will be barred indefinitely from showing at the North Carolina State Fair.

Tampering and/or misrepresentation as to breeding, age, ownership and any other irregularity in showing will be considered fraud and deception.

To maintain a high degree of confidence and integrity in the livestock shows, the N.C. State Fair reserves the right to disqualify any animal fitted in an unethical manner and indefinitely ban the participant and the participant’s assistants who fitted the animal involved.

Any artificial means of removing or remedying physical defects or conformation in exhibition animals (i.e. lifting or filling under the skin) will be considered fraud or deception. No unnatural means of providing an animal feed, water or other fluids (i.e. stomach pump, IV) will be allowed. All participants whose animals give evidence of such treatment will be barred indefinitely from exhibiting at the N.C. State Fair. All exhibitors, their immediate family and any other parties involved in the unethical fitting and showing of an animal may be barred indefinitely from exhibiting or showing at the N.C. State Fair and will forfeit all premiums, prize monies and awards won in any division .

GENERAL RULES

10

Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department Superintendent. Records must be changed when entries are reclassified. If the records are altered and the entry department files are not changed, premiums will be withheld. Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits to which they have awarded premiums.

Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that does not qualify for one of the classes in the State Fair Premium List.

Premium checks will be mailed to all exhibitors no later than 60 days after the fair. Errors in premium statements will be corrected until January 31, 2020 after which time the books of the 2019 Fair are closed.

Photographs of exhibits and winners will be taken by official photographers of the NC State Fair. Exhibitors hereby grant the NC State Fair permission to utilize photographs, images, or likenesses in whole or in part for use in official NC State Fair publications and promotions.

Health RegulationsAll Animals:The animal health regulations of the Veterinary Division of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) will be strictly enforced, and decisions of the regulatory veterinarian concerning animal health status are final. No animals may be unloaded on the fairgrounds before being inspected and approved by the regulatory veterinarian during their designated check-in times.

All animals not meeting the entry requirements, that have an unthrifty nature or are in an unsuitable condition, and/or are exhibiting any signs of disease or illness (including obvious abscesses that are opened or closed, ringworm, soremouth or any other signs of contagious disease) may be refused entry and will not be allowed in the barn/display, may be isolated and/or required to be returned to the farm of origin as determined by the regulatory veterinarian. Any questionable health problems will be referred to the regulatory veterinarian, show committee, and/or the State Veterinarian.

During the duration of the Fair, all animals of unthrifty nature, unsuitable condition and/or exhibiting any signs of disease or illness or found not to have met entry requirements after entry may be required to be isolated and/or returned to the farm/premise of origin as determined by the regulatory veterinarian.

The Fair staff works diligently to prevent diseased animals from entering the fairground, though owners should consider that animals may be exposed to infectious agents while at the Fair. It is a best management practice to keep exhibit animals returning from the Fair separate from your animals at home for 2-3 weeks. By isolating exhibited animals for this time, any animals exposed to disease while at the Fair should show signs of infection during this period. Once this period has past, they can then be commingled with the animals that remained home.

Exhibitors are discouraged from bringing their dogs with them to the fair. If dogs must be brought, they are to remain in areas that are inaccessible to the public and must not be available for contact with the general public. Proof of rabies vaccination needs to be on hand.

Premises Registration is voluntary to exhibit livestock (beef and dairy cattle, horse, breeding swine, sheep, goats, and rabbits) and poultry at the North Carolina State Fair. Choosing to register your premises puts you on the frontline of controlling and preventing the spread of animal disease. A disease outbreak can’t be predicted but it can impact every segment of animal agriculture. Participation ensures that you have the information you need, when you need it most, to protect your animals and your investment. Registering a premises involves obtaining an alpha-numeric “identifier” for the farm, ranch, veterinary clinic or other site where livestock or fowl are handled, housed, managed or processed. If an exhibitor wants more information or wishes to register for a National or State Premises ID, the exhibitor can:1. For more information contact (919) 707-3250 or visit http://www.ncfarmid.com, or 2. Register for a National or State Premises ID by:a. Printing, completing, and submitting the form found at http://www.ncagr.gov/ncfarmid/registrationform.htm, or b. By completing the request form for National Premises ID found behind the livestock entry form.

Livestock:ALL LIVESTOCK ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ENTRANCE HEALTH EXAMINATION AT TIME OF CHECK-IN AS A PREREQUISITE FOR ENTRY ONTO THE FAIRGROUNDS AND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE UNLOADED ON THE FAIRGROUND OR ENTER THE BARNS UNTIL INSPECTED AND PASSED BY HEALTH OFFICIALS. Animal examinations and check-in will be between 7:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M.

All livestock must have a form of identification (ear tag, tattoo, ear notch, or microchip -readers must be supplied by owner) to enter the fairgrounds. All sheep and goats must comply with USDA and NCDA&CS Scrapie Eradication Program guidelines. Sheep and goats without a scrapie tag, or a registration paper with corresponding tattoo or microchip information at the time of check-in will not be allowed. Scrapie Flock ID numbers must be presented at the time of check-in before an approval card can be issued. The Scrapie Flock ID number is not the same as the National or State Premises ID number. To obtain a Scrapie Flock ID number, please see the Goat and Sheep entry requirements section.Livestock and Poultry:Drug and Chemical Compounds Policy for All NCDA&CS Sponsored Fairs, Exhibitions, and EventsThe use of any drug and/or chemical compound in any manner that is not approved by the FDA, including but not

The owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer and/or responsible person must notify the show management prior to admittance into the livestock/poultry barns of any animal that is being administered drugs or chemical compounds in accordance with approved FDA guidelines for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal. Acceptance of the animal for exhibition will be at the discretion of the animal superintendent and the show veterinarian and will depend on such factors as the nature of the drug or chemical compound and justification by an accredited veterinarian with a valid client-patient relationship. Regardless, livestock and poultry will not be allowed to exhibit if use of any drugs or chemical compounds will affect the animal's performance or appearance at the event.

Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers and/or responsible persons will be held accountable for the presence of any violative drug residue from their animal and subject to the disposition as specified below:

1) Findings of proof in intentional use of any drug or chemical compound in a manner described as illegal and prohibited by the Policy on use of Drugs and Chemical Compounds will result in immediate disqualification, forfeiture of all premiums and prizes, market value of the animal (in the case of market animals), and a life-time ban on exhibiting in NCDA&CS sponsored events.

2) If proof of intentional use of any drug or chemical compound in an illegal and prohibited manner cannot be found on an animal that has been demonstrated by the above detailed laboratory methods to have the presence of such a substance, a first time offense for a positive test will result in immediate disqualification, forfeiture of all premiums and prizes, market value of the animal (in the case of market animals), and a one-year prohibition on exhibiting in NCDA&CS sponsored events by the exhibitor of the positive animal. A second-time offense by that exhibitor for any drug or chemical compound in a manner described as illegal and prohibited will result in immediate disqualification, forfeiture of all premiums and prizes, market value of the animal (in the case of market animals), and a life-time ban on exhibiting in NCDA&CS sponsored events by the exhibitor of that positive animal.

Drug testing at the Fair may include, and is not limited to, the following drugs:Acepromazine, Albuterol, Altrenogest, Azaperone, Balbuterol, Boldenone, Bumetanide, Chlorpromazine and all other tranquilizers, Clenbuterol, Dexamethasone, Flumethasone, Flunixin, Furosemide, Isoetharine, Isoflupredone, Flumethasone, Methylprednisolone, Nandrolone, Paylean (labeled for swine only), Phenylbutazone, Optiflex (labeled for feedlot cattle only), and Terbutaline.

Sites are first come, first serve. No advance reservations taken. If you have questions call (919)612-6767.

EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORSOnly vehicles operated by the Fair management will be allowed in the barn area.The Fair management will use diligence to ensure the safety of livestock entered for exhibition or display, but under no circumstances will it be responsible for loss, injury, theft or damage by fire, lightning, wind, or any other agency, to such livestock on exhibition or display.

All livestock on exhibition must be cared for by the exhibitor. All stalls and pens (except entries in Special Exhibits) will be well bedded one time by the Fair, free of charge. Thereafter, exhibitors will be required to furnish their own bedding.

The Fair reserves the right to discriminate against both excessive obesity, which cannot be a profitable condition for breeding animals and excessive leanness, in which conditions are unfit for exhibition.

No barren animals will be eligible in breeding classes. An affidavit that an animal is a breeder must be furnished on request.

All cattle must be halter-broken. Boars over one year of age must have their tusks removed.

A great educational feature of the Fair is the exhibitions and parades of approved livestock by breeds and ages. Exhibitors refusing for any cause not meeting with the approval of the management to lead out animals for parade will not only forfeit all premiums won, but will be barred from further participation in the Fair, and will be required to remove their stock from the Fairgrounds within six hours after such refusal, and will forfeit any fees paid.

Misrepresentation as to breeding and irregularity in showing will be exposed and any premium won by such exhibitor will be withheld. Certificates of registration must be shown on demand of the Livestock Superintendent.Any artificial means of removing or remedying physical defects or conformation in exhibition animals, including the use of steroids and other drugs, as well as lifting, dyeing or filling under the skin, will be considered fraud and deception.

The North Carolina State Fair Management reserves the right to test the grand and reserve champion of any show, and to conduct other random testing as deemed appropriate. The grand and reserve champions may be sampled at the fair. Exhibitors involved in any such treatment will be barred from exhibition at this Fair, and all Fairs holding membership in the International Association of Fairs and Exposition will be notified.Exhibitors must keep the space in the rear of their stalls or pens, and the alleyways in the exhibition halls, clear and clean. All litter must be deposited where directed by the Superintendent of Directors.

Animals must be transported to and from the Fairgrounds at the expense of the exhibitor. The Fair management will not pay any charges for express, freight, or drayage.

Exhibitors are responsible for ascertaining when their stock will be judged. Animals must be in the show ring promptly after being called. Exhibitors failing to comply with this rule may have their animals excluded from competition.

JUDGES AND AWARDSNO EXHIBITOR MAY RECEIVE MORE THAN TWO PREMIUM MONIES IN ANY ONE CLASS. However, ribbons will be awarded exactly as the animals are placed by the judge. EXAMPLE: An exhibitor makes three entries in a class, and his animals place “First”, “Second” and “Third”. He would receive only the first and second premium monies, but all three ribbons. Then, the owner of the animal placing “Fourth” would receive the third-place premium money and the fourth-place ribbon; and so on down the line.

The decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except in the case of protest. The rules of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions govern appeals at the North Carolina State Fair. Protests must be in writing and filed with the State Fair Manager by 9 AM the day following the award, accompanied by a protest fee of $250.00 which will be retained by the fair if the protest is not sustained by an impartial protest committee appointed by the State Fair Manager. No unworthy animal will be awarded a premium. Where there are fewer animals shown in the class than the number of premiums offered, the judge may, at his/her discretion, award a prize or prizes of such grade as the animal or animals deserve.

Where there is only one entry in a class, second premium will be awarded unless in the opinion of the judge the animal issufficiently meritorious as to justify the full award as provided for.

HERDSMEN’S CONTESTSSpecial prizes will be awarded in contests for herdsmen, shepherd and caretakers of animals in some livestock departments. All herdsmen will automatically be considered entrants and no special entry is required. Judges will be assigned by the Livestock Director. The contests will start at a time designated by each Department.The following score card will serve as the basis for the judges in the Herdsmen’s contest making their decisions.

22CODE OF ETHICS

IAFE CODE OF SHOW RING ETHICS(INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FAIRS AND EXPOSITIONS)

Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows shall at all times deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their conduct in this competitive environment shall always reflect the highest standards of honor and dignity to promote the advancement of agricultural education. This code applies to junior as well as open class exhibitors who compete in structured classes of competition. This code applies to all livestock offered in any event at a livestock show. In addition to the "IAFE Code of Show Ring Ethics", fairs and livestock shows may have rules and regulations which they impose on the local, county, state, provincial and national levels.

All youth leaders working with junior exhibitors are under an affirmative responsibility to do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable acts. Their moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by their fine example. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers and absolutely responsible persons who violate the code of ethics will forfeit premiums, awards and auction proceeds and shall be prohibited from future exhibition in accordance with the rules adopted by the respective fairs and livestock shows. Exhibitors who violate this code of ethics demean the integrity of all livestock exhibitors and should be prohibited from competition at all livestock shows in the United States and Canada.

The following is a list of guidelines for all exhibitors and all livestock in competitive events:1) All exhibitors must present, upon request of fair and livestock show officials, proof of ownership, length of ownership,

and age of all animals entered. Misrepresentation of ownership, age, or any facts relating thereto is prohibited.2) Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers, or absolutely responsible persons shall provide animal health certificates from

licensed veterinarians upon request by fair or livestock show officials.3) Junior exhibitors are expected to care for and groom their animals while at fairs or livestock shows.4) Animals shall be presented to show events where they will enter the food chain free of violative drug residues. The

act of entering an animal in a livestock show is the giving of, consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer and/or absolutely responsible person for show management to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing. Animals not entered in an event which culminates with the animal entering the food chain shall not be administered drugs other than in accordance with applicable federal, state and provincial statutes, regulations and rules. Livestock shall not be exhibited if the drugs administered in accordance with federal, state and provincial statutes, regulations and rules affect the animal's performance or appearance at the event.

If the laboratory report on the analysis of saliva, urine, blood, or other sample taken from livestock indicates the presence of forbidden drugs or medication, this shall be prima facie evidence such substance has been administered to the animal either internally or externally. It is presumed that the sample of urine, saliva, blood, or other substance tested by the laboratory, to which it is sent, is the one taken from the animal in question, its integrity is preserved and all procedures of said collection and preservation, transfer to the laboratory and analysis of the sample are correct and accurate and the report received from the laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the animal in question and correctly reflects the condition of the animal at the time the sample was taken, with the burden on the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person to prove otherwise.

At any time after an animal arrives on the fair or livestock show premises, all treatments involving the use of drugs and/or medications for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian.

23

5) Any surgical procedure or injection of any foreign substance or drug or the external application of any substance (irritant, counterirritant, or similar substance) which could affect the animal's performance or alter its natural contour, confirmation, or appearance, except external applications of substances to the hoofs or horns of animals which affect appearance only and except for surgical procedures performed by a duly licensed veterinarian for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal, is prohibited.

6) The use of showing and/or handling practices or devices such as striking animals to cause swelling, using electrical contrivance, or other similar practices are not acceptable and are prohibited.

State Fair reserves the right to disqualify any animal fitted in an unethical manner and indefinitely ban the participant and the participant’s assistants who fitted the animal involved.Any artificial means of removing or remedying physical defects or conformation in exhibition animals (i.e. lifting or filling under the skin) will be considered fraud or deception. No unnatural means of providing an animal feed, water or other fluids (i.e. stomach pump, IV) will be allowed. All participants whose animals give evidence of such treatment will be barred indefinitely from exhibiting at the N.C. State Fair.

Be sure to fill in the application form completely, accurately, and legibly. Give your rural route number, post office box number, or city street address, zip code, social security or federal ID number. Indicate on the form the total number of animals you will exhibit, and the total number of stall spaces you will require, including those to be used for gear, feed and bedding.

Entries in the Open Show must be made in the name of the exhibitor shown on the registration certificate as the owner and must conform to the breed percentages recommended by the respective breed association.

The exhibitor and breeder of an animal are defined as follows: "Where the animals are registered in the name(s) of different members of a family, residing on one farm and when the herd is one unit, all entries may be considered as a single exhibitor."

Animals owned in partnership or by a syndicate may be shown in the name of the partnership or syndicate only; except that at the time of entry a determination shall be made that such animals will be shown in the name of one partner or syndicate member and shown in the same way in group classes.

Exhibitors are not allowed to make substitutions between breeds. Two substitutions per exhibitor may be made within a breed.

Junior entries wishing to show in the open show will be required to pay entry fee in accordance with open show registration. Entries in the group and herd classes must have previously been exhibited in the individual classes.

List the class number, as indicated in the premium list, for which each entry is made. Enter each animal separately.

List the name and registry number of each animal entered, its date of birth, and its sex. Bring your registration certificates to the Fair; they must be shown at any time if requested by the Superintendent. Registration papers will be required at the time of show of all group classes.

All animals must be registered with their respective breed associations in the name of the bona fide owner and breed percentages must conform to breed association standards. No animal will be allowed to show if registration of animal is pending.

In breeding classes, to be eligible to show, all cows 36 months of age or older must have produced a calf carried to maturity within the last 12 months prior to the opening date of the Fair. In case the exhibitor, upon demand of the superintendent, cannot verify by affidavit or registration certificate the facts of the above requirements, the animal will be excluded from competition.

In making awards in the breeding classes, the judge will lay much stress on the evidence of superior breeding qualities. When animals show evidence of being “overdone” (overloaded with flesh) they will be discriminated against accordingly.

GROUND RULEIn our Standard Show Classification only the Premier Breeders Class specifies “owned by the exhibitor.” The other group classes need not be owned by exhibitor, and therefore cannot be used to break ties.To correct the possibility of a tie for Premier Exhibitor Class, where a tie exists through 5 placements, and neither exhibitor has an entry in the Premier Breeder Class, additional placements (beyond the stated 5 limitation) in the individual classes will be used, but only to the point where the tie is broken.

Project animals must be housed near enough to the exhibitor to be cared for regularly by the exhibitor. Market and breeding animals should be housed at the same location. Housing location of project animals entered at the NC State Fair should be the same location as other project animals exhibited by the junior participant throughout the year in county and other local and regional circuit shows. FFA chapter programs and 4-H clubs housing animals at one location can submit one form with names of all participants at that location listed.

Jimmy Smith was a strong supporter of the Junior Beef Heifer Show by providing heifers for many urban and rural youth to show, and providing guidance both inside and outside the show ring. A belt buckle will be awarded to a Junior Simmental exhibitor that shows good sportsmanship, leadership and good conduct throughout the Junior Show weekend. Assisting other exhibitors, helping to keep the barn clean and promoting agriculture will be taken into account by the selection committee. This award will be determined by a committee assigned by the N.C. Simmental Association, and will be presented during the Junior Simmental Show.
