Do exhibitors have to pay gate admission to the Fair?
Yes. All exhibitors, including helpers, will pay full gate admission to the grounds when attending the fair. There is no charge to drop off or pick up arena exhibits when entering through the arena doors. Each event or class has different ways of compensating for payment of admission, such as by not charging additional entry fees. For more information, see the general Fair rules and regulations here, and also see the rules and regulations found with each event or class. Can I pick up my exhibits early? No. This rule allows Fair volunteers to supervise the pickup process, helping to ensure the security of everyone’s exhibits. Homecraft exhibits may only be picked up at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. There are no exceptions. For more information, see the Homecraft exhibitor rules here. When do winners get their prize money? All arena exhibitors may pick up their prize money at the arena office on Saturday from 12:01 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. See the Payment of Prize Money for Arena Exhibitors section he
