Pages that are left blank will indicate an incomplete record book. Exhibitors who do not follow this rule will not be allowed to show or sell market animals in the Frederick County Fair the next year.

b) If the exhibitor has previously kept a species at a location other than their residence (within the last year), and if no problems were evident and the animals will be housed at the same location as the previous year, then the exhibitor is not required to attend a fair meeting for approval. However, the exhibitor must notify the chairperson for each species 30 days prior to the stated ownership date for that species. If a different species (for example hogs) is being housed for the first time at a location that the exhibitor previously kept another species (for example lambs), then that exhibitor still must come to the Fair Board as indicated in part A of this rule.

9) Chairpersons and fair officials reserve the right to view exhibitor’s animals from the tagging date until the opening of the fair.

10) There will be no livestock taken to trailers at any time during the week of the fair, only with the permission from livestock committee.
