GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
1. All exhibitors agree to be bound by the rules and
regulations of the Southern Lancaster County Community Fair.
2. The fair management reserves the right to amend
or add to these rules and regulations as its judgment may
determine.
3. All exhibits are entered free unless otherwise
specified under each department.
4. Reasonable care will be taken to protect all
exhibits on display from all injury and damage but the fair is not,
in any way, to be held responsible for accidents, loss of damage by
water, fire, theft, or otherwise, whatever may be the cause or
extent of the damage or loss.
5. Every exhibitor must get an entry number at the
desk, at the front entrance of the office, before entering an
exhibit in any department.
6. Exhibits may be entered Tuesday, September 18,
2007 starting at Noon. Entries close at 10 PM unless specified
differently by a department.
7. Exhibits will be judged Wednesday, September 19,
2007 beginning at 9 AM. During the judging, tents and buildings,
except livestock arenas are closed except fair officials, judges,
Pennsylvania Fair Fund Officials, and necessary attendants. No
exhibitor or his agent shall communicate with the judge during this
time of determining the awards except to answer questions proposed
by the judges. Any exhibitor interfering with the judges while
making awards shall forfeit any premium to which he would be
entitled.
8. Premiums, as listed, may be given for meritorious
exhibits. In cases where there is no competition, judges may give an
award such as they deem the exhibit is worthy to receive. Same rule
applies where there are fewer entries in any case than the number of
premiums offered. The judges may, at their discretion, award a
ribbon or rosette.
9. The fair reserves the right to determine how many
entries they accept from an exhibitor in the same class, or, in the
case of livestock, the same breed. An exhibitor shall not receive
more than one premium, in any particular class, or subdivision of a
class.
10. THE DECISION OF THE JUDGES SHALL BE FINAL IN
ALL CLASSES. Any person wishing to protest the decision of the
judges must deposit $5.00 with the secretary of the fair before any
protest will be entertained. Such protest must be made in writing
within twelve hours after the awards are made.
11. It shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor to make known the proper
name of the article or breed of livestock he is entering. Any item entered
improperly will be disqualified to receive a prize, but the judges will
mark the correct name on the entry tag for the benefit of the owner so the
same mistake in entering need not be made the second time.
12. All entries must be locally grown, produced, or made since the last fair.
13. Superintendents of departments reserve the right of refusing to accept any
entry. Furthermore, the superintendents reserve the right to bar from
competition any exhibit of decidedly inferior quality and those not
possessing sufficient merit to warrant recognition.
14. The Fair Management may, at any time, order the removal of an exhibit or
part of an exhibit in bad condition and any article unfit to show may be
excluded. Food products cannot be polluted with any substance or
chemical that causes them to become poisonous and unfit to be used as food.
15. An exhibit on display cannot be removed before Friday evening,
September 21, 2007 at 10 PM.
16. All exhibits not called for by Saturday, September 22, 2007 by 8 AM will
become property of the Fair unless otherwise arranged.
17. All refreshments and novelty rights are reserved for the organization
chosen by the Fair Association and one half of the net proceeds will go to
the Fair Treasury.
18. No concessionaires or gambling will be permitted at the exhibition of the
Southern Lancaster County Community fair. No person, firm or
corporation, shall sell, solicit sales of, offer for sale, or otherwise dispose
of stock securities of any corporation, concern or organization of any
name or character, during the exhibition.
19. No Premium checks will be mailed. They should be picked up
by 10 PM Friday at the fair office.

members. Any lost children should be directed to the fair office and can
be found at the fair office.
21. Any violation of these rules or Department regulations will disqualify the
exhibitor.
