Placer County and Gold Country Fair would like to remind us:
County, District and State Fairs cannot legally carry liability insurance covering junior exhibitors and/or their exhibits.
Liability insurance is the responsibility and at the discretion of the junior exhibitor. Therefore, it is suggested that junior
exhibitors consider taking out a liability policy covering themselves and their exhibits. All Independent Exhibitors are
required to show proof of liability insurance. All other Junior Exhibitors (4-H and FFA) are strongly urged to carry liability
insurance. A policy may be purchased through California Fair Services Authority for a minimal cost. Please be aware that
Gold Country Fair Jr. Livestock Rule # 36, stating that market steers must be under control at all times, will be strictly
enforced. Call the Fair offices for assistance and applications.
Quality Assurance/Ethics Mandatory Training
All 4-H project leaders, 4-H exhibitors, FFA Advisors, FFA exhibitors, Independent exhibitors and parents of Independent
exhibitors MUST complete Quality Assurance/Ethics training - NO EXCEPTIONS.

You must first register. You can use your user name and password from the 4H online system or create an account. After registering, you will see several ages listed with a link to click for the online course. You then would complete the course. The cost will be $12.00.
At this time, there is no in-person ethics training scheduled at Gold Country Fair if you are in need of an update. We will post new dates if they are scheduled.
If you are attending Gold Country Fair and are within your 5-years for the ethics course, please go to the link below and complete the survey.
