Every effort has been made to insure the accuracy of this exhibitorhandbook. However, exhibitors are cautioned that the current rulesand regulations of the Eastern Idaho State Fair, as interpreted by theFair Board, take precedence over this listing due to the possibility oftypographical error or inadvertent omission.

In the event of conflict between the general rules and the specialrules governing the various departments, the special rules will takeprecedence.

The Board reserves the final and absolute right to interpret theserules and regulations and arbitrarily settle and determine all matters,questions and differences in regard thereto, or otherwise arising out of,connected with or incident to the Fair. The Board reserves the right toamend or add to these rules, as it, in its judgment, may deemadvisable.1. Entries in all departments, unless otherwise specified, are open to

the world.2. Entry form, completely and properly filled out, must be submitted

in all livestock departments on or before the closing date specified. Mail to: Eastern Idaho State Fair Box 250 Blackfoot, Idaho 83221Exhibits will be rejected unless entry forms have been received.Exhibitors of livestock will be required to give the name andregistration numbers of both sire and dam.

3.



to the animal or article. The Superintendents of the variousdepartments will assign stalls, pens, and exhibit space.
