11 2019 El Dorado County Fair Livestock RV/Camping Application The process for reserving Camping Spots for Fair has changed. With limited space and more families choosing to camp at fair, this required a new set of criteria to be considered when taking reservations. The original intent of allowing camping was to accommodate those families that had quite a distance to drive to and from early in the morning and late at night. The process and considerations will be as follows: 1. Applications must be received on or before the first Monday in April to be considered (any received after the first Monday in April will be considered based on space available). 2. The species showing animals that need more care early & late in the day or stay at fair all four days are considered first, leaving poultry, rabbits, dog, horse, llama and alpaca to the end of considerations. 3. The distance that exhibitors live from the fairgrounds. RV s will be placed 1 st if the exhibitor lives 25 miles or further from the fairgrounds (based on MapQuest information), next will be miles, miles, miles, 6 9 miles, then 0 5 miles. As we get to a distance when we have fewer spaces available than we have requests, then we will go to a lottery for those left. Please fill out the following information and return on or before the first Monday in April to: First/Last Name: Exhibitor s First/Last Name: Species/Club: Home Address (w/zip): One Way distance based on Map Quest: 100 Placerville Drive fair@eldoradocountyfair.org FAX to RV Size: or Tent: Phone number: Cell number: address: Fee: $ Duration: Monday prior to fair through Monday the day after fair.
