be- fore the fair if you need assistance tattooing.
Rabbits will be judged using the ARBA Standard of Perfection book for all classes.
Rabbits and other fur bearing animals showing evidence of specific disease may not be exhibited at
the Fair. If at any time any an animal shows signs of disease it shall be removed immediately from
the exhibit and returned to the owner.
An exhibitor may show no more than 12 animals and the same animal may not be shown in both
junior and open divisions. An exhibitor may only make one entry per class number within each
division.
No rabbit under 8 weeks old or under the minimum breed weight will be allowed to be exhibited at
the Fair. Exhibitors with rabbits that can escape form cages must secure the cage(s) with small
wire upon check-in.
Rabbits must be owned and cared for prior to May 1 of exhibit year, or bred by the exhibitor.
Superintendent s may ask for documentation if there is a question of ownership.
All rabbits at the fair must be weaned.
Exhibitors are allowed to place ‘for sale’ signs on cages Thursday morning. No additional
rabbits that are not entered in the show, are allowed in the barn during the Fair.
The superintendent will decide what size cage each rabbit will be given. The only breeds that
will get double cages are French Lops, Flemish Giants, Checkered Giants, Giant Chinchillas,
Giant Angoras, Americans, Beverens, English Lops and Meat Pens. All cage sizes are based on
barn capacity as well.
Please notify the superintendent prior to set-up if you require a double cage for a breeder’s class
litter so they can plan accordingly. The superintendent has the right to further divide litters if
they appear uncomfortable or fighting occurs.
No exhibitor may touch/handle/ or remove a rabbit that is not theirs. The superintendent does
have the right to handle an animal if they feel that it requires attention
All junior exhibitors are required to do at least 2 shifts of barn sitting.
Exhibitors are responsible for feeding and watering on a daily basis as well as cleaning under cages
as needed. Feed, water and shavings will be provided. Limited food dishes are available for junior
class exhibitors. Exhibitors should plan on bringing their own dishes/water bottles.
Failure to follow the above rules may result in disqualification and/or loss of premiums.
No changes will be made to entries after June 30th! Double check your entries and bring our
printed receipt with you to the Fair if there are computer errors. Any rabbits entered incorrectly must
be shown in the class they are entered in and will be placed accordingly.
