If you require the use of your service animal at the Fair, we strongly encourage the use of an identifying vest, harness, cape, or leash so others do not attempt to pet or play with your service animal. Please note that Fair Management reserves the right to remove both animal and patron if the animal jeopardizes the safety of other patrons, staff or volunteers.

Can I bring my pet with me?

No, we’re sorry, but pets are not allowed at the Fair unless they are a part of the 4-H Dog Project and are here for judging.
