Eligibility for youth participation in non-competitive displays is five years old and in Kindergarten by January 1 of the current year. 3. Junior Fair Exhibitors must be currently enrolled and members in good standing in one of the Junior Fair organizations 4-H, FFA, Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts. 4. Participation in the Junior Fair is an optional activity. 5. Animal exhibits must be in place by 12:00 noon on Monday unless specie rules specify a special check-in or weigh-in time requiring animals to in place earlier. Still projects must be in place by 4:00 p.m. Sunday. 6. Participation in two counties is permitted by youth exhibiting 4-H projects in one county and FFA projects in another county provided the youth are exhibiting different projects and using different animals in each county. The only other stipulation about projects is that exhibitors who have sold market animals at another county Junior Fair are ineligible to show or sell market animals at the Guernsey County Fair in the same year. 7. All animals exhibited must have been completely and fully owned (as evidenced by a bill of sale or registration papers where applicable) including all showing rights and in the complete possession and continual care of the exhibitor on and after June 1. A few exceptions are listed specifically under specie rules. Ownership of an animal will be considered lost, if after June 1 of the current year, the animal has been consigned or sold through an auction or any other type transaction even if the exhibitor "buys back" his/her animal. 8. All exhibitors of market animals, lactating dairy cows, and lactating goats must be Quality Assurance certified by July 1 st each year. 9. All Jr. Fair exhibitors can exhibit only two market projects (Exception: Beef Feeder calves are not included in the two project exhibit limit.). Dairy project members are considered to have one animal for the two market animal limit rule because of the dairy basket sale. Dairy project members selling 2 market animals are therefore not eligible to receive dairy basket proceeds. An exhibitor can be in the sale ring no more than two times for the sale of Junior Fair livestock projects. 10. Animals can be shown only one time for type (live animal) grade and premium. Market animals cannot also be shown in breeding classes. Exceptions are only granted for pack goats, horses, dogs and special group classes. 11.

13. Exhibitors shall receive premiums for no more than three Junior Fair projects. 14. All livestock barns will be closed and lights out from 11:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. Only security personnel will be permitted in the barns during these times. 15.

If the situation is not resolved to the satisfaction of the Junior Fair Committee Chairman & Sr. Fair Board representative, the exhibitor will be required to take the animal home. The exhibitor will forfeit premiums, awards, and may not be permitted to exhibit the following year. The decision of the Sr. Fair Board will be final. 16.
