Fair Book Changes

There are a few changes to the fair book and schedules this

year. Changes are as follows:

Showmanship Classes—there will only be a Junior divi-

sion for 4th—6th graders, Intermediate division 7th—

8th graders, and Senior division 9th—12th graders. (We

will no longer have a First year, First year senior, or Mas-

ter showmanship)

Wednesday, July 26th schedule: all evening events will

be pushed back 30 mins. So ISU recognitions will start at

6 pm instead of 5:30pm—then everything else will fol-

low.

Gate Fees: $9 a day, $15 after 4pm Friday—Sunday

(correction) nights. Season passes still $30 and can be

purchased during fair entry days or at the local banks.

Poultry Test Dates

All poultry exhibits for fair MUST

attend pullorum testing before being

eligible for fair. Corydon Vet Clinic

will be providing our testing again

this year. Testing dates are as follows:

Friday, June 9th from 10am to noon

Monday, June 12th from 10am to noon

If you are unable to make it one of these dates you

will have to set up testing at your own cost. Please

bring certification papers with you to fair entry

days on June 20th and 21st to show proof testing

was completed.
