It is the policy of the Greene County Fair Association that any assisted living

Unless they are issued a daily or weekly pass by the Board of Directors, all

Parking is free. Only those vehicles issued a permit by the Board of Directors
will be allowed to park inside the gates. Violators will be towed at the owner’s
expense.
It is the policy of the Greene County Fair, Inc. that no animal shall be
permitted on the grounds, other than those involved in events sanctioned by the
Fair, such as a pet show, wildlife exhibits, petting barn, or livestock show or
exhibit. Animals involved in such events shall be restrained in a manner
considered proper by the Board of Directors of the Fair. The only exceptions to
this policy are those animals which are used by the handicapped, for example,
seeing eye dogs.
The Greene County Fair, Inc. reserves to its Board of Directors the final and
absolute right to interpret all rules and regulations; and arbitrarily settle
and determine all matters, questions, and differences in regard thereto, or
otherwise arising out of, connected with, or incidental to the Fair.
ALL PREMIUM CHECKS ARE VOID AFTER SIXTY (60) DAYS.
Exhibiting does not entitle the exhibitor to free admission to the grounds.
No entries will be accepted later than the dates listed in this catalog.
Unless otherwise stated, only one entry may be made by an exhibitor in any one
lot.
Each department superintendent has the right to add lots when necessary, so that
non-catalog exhibits can be entered.
Exhibitors must be the bona fide owners of the entry exhibited. All crops
exhibited must be produced during the current fair year.
Exhibitors must use only the space assigned by the superintendent of the
department.
Protests will be decided by the Executive Committee. Only those protests made in
writing on a form provided by the Fair and accompanied by a $25.00 deposit will
be considered. This deposit maybe forfeited to the Fair in the event the protest
fails.
The Fair will not be responsible for any damage to exhibits, but will take
reasonable precautions to guard against loss or damage.
The President of the Fair shall have supervision and
control of all exhibits; and reserves the right to prescribe the dimensions and
positions of all signs, to control the distribution of all advertising, and
generally to direct the fair as to
appearance. All instructions shall come from the
President or through his/her authorized representatives.
No commercial exhibit or concession shall be removed from the grounds prior to
the close of the fair.
In lots where exhibits are made by only one exhibitor, the Fair will pay
only second premium money, and that only if the entry is worthy.
The right is reserved to withhold the premiums awarded in any case where the
Fair deems that the regulations have not been complied with; or that fraud or
deception has been attempted; or where an exhibit is not worthy. The decision of
the Board or its representatives shall be final and binding on all parties.
Judges will be instructed not to award premiums to any
exhibit because of its presence. It must be worthy. It is not the policy of the
Fair to encourage indifferent production. No premium will be awarded to any
exhibit that does not
possess high intrinsic merit.
The single judge system is the policy of the Fair. Judges will be selected with
the utmost care.
The Fair reserves the right to use the three judge
system should circumstances arise where it would prove of mutual benefit to the
Fair and the exhibitors. The Fair reserves the right to substitute judges in

cases of doubt or difficulty, judges will consult with the chairperson of the
department.
Any exhibitor attempting or in any way interfering with the judges in their
