Please be considerate of space. Make room for all exhibitors. You may be asked to consolidate space at the discretion of the show officials.

CLEAN UP: Exhibitors MUST LEAVE THEIR AREA IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THEY FOUND IT.
All bedding must be raked OUT of any pens you use and removed to a manure pile. Remove ALL trash from pen areas.
Bathrooms—Please clean up after yourself If Cumberland Fairgrounds deems bathrooms excessively messy, they will charge an extra fee to the clubs, which means entry fees will go up!
