RULE 12-b. Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows shall at all times
deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their conduct in
this competitive environment shall always reflect the highest standards of
honor and dignity to promote the advancement of agricultural education. This
code applies to junior as well as open class exhibitors who compete in
structured classes of competition. This code applies to all livestock offered
in any event at a livestock show. In addition to the “IAFE National Code of
Show Ring Ethics,” fairs and livestock shows may have rules and regulations
which they impose on the local, county, state, provincial and national levels.
All youth leaders working with junior exhibitors are under an affirmative
responsibility to do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable acts.
Their moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and
more pliable will be influenced by their fine example. Owners, exhibitors,
fitters, trainers and absolutely responsible persons who violate the code of
ethics will forfeit premiums, awards and auction proceeds and shall be
prohibited from future exhibition in accordance with the rules adopted by the
respective fairs and livestock shows. Exhibitors who violate this code of
ethics demean the integrity of all livestock exhibitors and should be prohibited
from competition at all livestock shows in the United States and Canada.
The following is a list of guidelines for all exhibitors and all livestock in
competitive events:
1. All exhibitors must present, upon request of fair and livestock show
officials, proof of ownership, length of ownership and age of all
animals entered. Misrepresentation of ownership, age, or any facts
relating thereto is prohibited.
2. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers, or absolutely responsible persons
shall provide animal health certificates from licensed veterinarians
upon request by fair or livestock show officials.
3. Junior exhibitors are expected to care for and groom their animals
while at fairs or livestock shows.
4. Animals shall be presented to show events where they will enter the
food chain free of drugs. The act of entering an animal in a livestock
show is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer
and/or absolutely responsible person for show management to obtain
any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other substances from the
animal to be used in testing. Animals not entered in an event which
culminates with the animal entering the food chain shall not be
administered drugs other than in accordance with applicable Federal,
State, and Provincial statutes, regulations, and rules. Livestock shall
not be exhibited if the drugs administered in accordance with Federal,
State, and Provincial statutes, regulations, and rules affect the animal’s
performance or appearance at the event.
If the laboratory report on the chemical analysis of saliva, urine, blood,
or other sample taken from livestock indicates the presence of
forbidden drugs or medication, this shall be prima facie evidence such
substance has been administered to the animal either internally or
externally. It is presumed that the sample of urine, saliva, blood, or
other substance tested by the approved laboratory to which it is sent
is the one taken from the animal in question, its integrity is preserved
and all procedures of said collection and preservation, transfer to the
laboratory and analysis of the sample are correct and accurate and
the report received from the laboratory pertains to the sample taken
from the animal in question and correctly reflects the condition of the
animal at the time the sample was taken, with the burden on the
owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person to
prove otherwise at any hearing in regard to the matter conducted by
the fair or livestock show.
At any time after an animal arrives on the fair or livestock show
premises, all treatments involving the use of drugs and/or medications
for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal shall be
administered by a licensed veterinarian.
5. Any surgical procedure or injection of any foreign substance or page
15 or the external application of any substance (irritant, counter
irritant, or similar substance) which could affect the animal’s
performance or alter its natural contour, confirmation, or appearance,
SPECIAL HERDSMAN AWARDS
RULE 8. Special prizes will be awarded in the Beef Cattle, Dairy Cattle,
Sheep, Goats and Swine Departments to the herdsmen, caretakers or
exhibitors in charge of livestock exhibits, on an exhibit basis, as a reward for
their good housekeeping. A secret committee will make inspections to
determine which exhibit makes the best record.
Exhibits will be judged on: daily appearance of the exhibit, exhibit area and
personnel attending the exhibit, availability of personnel with herds to furnish
information about their exhibits; and interest in personnel in cooperating with
show officials in making the best possible presentation to the public in the
judging arena at all times.
The following Divisions will each be judged separately, and the exhibits in
each Division that are declared winners will receive the following cash awards:
Beef Open Division . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $50.00

The aim of 4-H club work is to teach boys and girls, through practical project
training, how to become more useful and progressive citizens. Their program is well
balanced, since the 4-H Emblem itself means equal training of the head, heart, hands,
and health. The 4-H program is so organized and conducted so that it stresses loyalty,
fellowship, and brotherhood. The development of leadership is one of the chief aims
of 4-H club work.

windows on the building’s west side.

FAIR PARKING
TRACTOR PULL
PARKING FOR 2015 FAIR
Arkansas Valley
Antique Tractor Club, Inc.
ALL EXHIBITORS will be issued an Exhibitors Card that will admit them to
the Fairgrounds until the expiration date on the card. They will also receive a
colored Parking Pass that will allow them to park in the parking lot designated
on the pass. The exhibitor cards, and parking passes will be issued by the
Superintendents upon check in.
Due to the lack of space, and the time that you arrive, a parking pass will not
guarantee you a parking place in the parking lot that your pass is for. Overflow
parking will be available at another off-grounds parking lot.
The Sky View lot may not be available for use. Final parking arrangements will be
posted on our website at www.kayrodgerspark.com. Please check the site or call fair
office at 479-783-6176 for final instructions.
People who pay for a Camper Hook up will be issued a parking pass for
their tow vehicle.
Traffic flow through the Fairgrounds must be possible at all times for
emergency vehicles. Any vehicle which blocks other vehicles in or is parked
in a marked tow away zone, or is blocking a street will be towed immediately,
at the owner’s expense, and their parking pass confiscated for the duration of
the Fair.
ANTIQUE TRACTOR PULLING CONTEST Sponsored by Arkansas Valley
Antique Tractor Club will be held Saturday, October 3, 2015 in Harper
Stadium starting around 7:30 p.m. Show is free to the public to watch.
There will be no vehicular deliveries to any concession after 10:00 AM either
Saturday and 2:00 PM the rest of the Fair Days. Any and all deliveries must be
scheduled to be completed before this time. After that time there can be NO
vehicle movements in the “Public Traffic” areas.
All Tractor Pullers must be a member of EDGE & TA National tractor
association for insurance reasons. All Tractors must be stock. Entry fees are
$10.00 for first pull and $5.00 for second or third pull. For more information
call Clyde Traylor at (479) 928-5193.
JR. LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS will be allowed to enter the Fairgrounds to
unload their livestock and equipment, then they must exit immediately after
unloading and park their trailers at the Plum Street Parking Lot. Vehicles will
not be allowed back on the Fairgrounds until SATURDAY morning to bring in
feed and needed supplies, and they must be off the Fairgrounds by 10:00 AM.
Any vehicle on the Fairgrounds after 10:00 AM without the proper parking pass
on the windshield will be towed at the owner’s expense. Parking Passes are
for off grounds parking lots. LOAD OUT INSTRUCTIONS are on page 9, rule
#62 and page 8, rule #45A, in the Fair Catalog.
Tractor pulls will be in two divisions: Antique Division I by weight class with
no add on weights; Division II pullers may add weights for more traction.
Arkansas Valley Antique Tractor Club was formed for the preservation of
antique farm tractors and equipment. We have several tractor pulls each year
and attend many parades through out the area. Each year we have an Antique
Farm Tractor Show. Our club has about 125 members.
CAMPERS & ETC. – Each unit paying for an electric hook up for living
quarters will be issued a pass for another vehicle to be parked on the
Fairgrounds.
CARNIVAL PERSONNEL WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARK INSIDE THE
FAIRGROUNDS WITH A THOMAS CARNIVAL PASS ON THEIR WINDSHIELD.
INDEPENDENT MIDWAY VEHICLES – Concessionaires with storage
vehicles that remain on the Fairgrounds will be issued a pass that will allow the
storage vehicle to remain on the Fairgrounds. (Not to go in and out regularly).
$180.00 for 9 days for electric hook-ups. Must pre-register 2 weeks prior to the event.
NO REFUNDS.
