It's that special time of year again . The sights and sounds of the North
Carolina State Fair are right here. This year the Fair is celebrating its 151 st
anniversary. As Lt. Governor, I am proud of this rich tradition that has helped
establish our state as a national leader in agricultural diversity and research.
The State Fair was first created as an exposition for farmers to showcase
their crops and learn about the latest scientific research. Today, the Fair
highlights advances in agriculture and displays the best North Carolina has
to offer in the areas of crafts, cooking, livestock, artwork, musical talent and
more.
The theme forthe 2004 N.C. State Fair is Farm Fresh Fun! This reflects
the heart of the Fair as a place for residents to compete and showcase their
skills and a great place for families to enjoy North Carolina's agriculture.
Just like in the past, the 2004 N.C. State Fair is proud to offer an
exciting Midway, musical performances, new exhibits as well as exciting
educational opportunities for children. Be sure to check out old favorites
including the racing pigs, delicious food, livestock exhibits and arts and
crafts.
See you at the Fair,
Sincerely,
Beverly Perdue
Lieutenant Governor

INFORMATION AND GENERAL RULES FOR EXHIBITORS AND PATRONS
Exhibitors and patrons are sincerely requested to make constructive criticisms
and offer helpful suggestions toward bettering any part or department of this, YOUR
STATE FAIR.
Please report any discourtesies by gatemen, concessionaires, showmen, or
others connected with the Fair. If, for any reason, there is a misunderstanding about
admission at gates or elsewhere, please pay the admission price asked, take a
receipt for same, and come directly to the Manager's office. Please do not block
traffic and delay others by prolonged arguments with ticket-sellers, gatemen and
ticket-takers who are working on strict orders from the management and are not
allowed to vary from them.
Concessions and attractions are granted privileges on the grounds to supply
the necessary wants, comforts, conveniences and pleasures of the patrons. The
management will not accept or knowingly allow the continuance of any concession,
show or other attractions of a questionable nature or a demoralizing tendency nor
will any concession be permitted where the business is conducted in other than a
legitimate and legal manner.
Drunkenness, quarreling, or the use of profane or obscene language will not
be allowed on the grounds. No begging will be permitted.
No peddling, hawking, or selling of any kind will be allowed in the buildings or
on the grounds except by special license obtained from the Manager.
All dining halls, lunch stands, refreshment booths, and other places dispensing
food and beverage must be substantial in structure and neat in appearance. They
must meet all health regulations and must sell only good, wholesome food and pure
honest goods at reasonable prices which must be approved by the Fair management
and displayed in a prominent place. No soft drinks may be sold in bottles.
Parties owning buildings upon the State Fair grounds must notify the manager
thirty (30) days prior to the opening of the Fair as to whether they desire to occupy
the same or not, and if so, make arrangements with the superintendent of the
department for such occupancy. Failure to comply with the provisions of this rule will
cause the forfeiture of the use of such building or buildings by the Fair management.
Any party or parties, firm or corporation owning buildings or material upon the
State Fairgrounds, without lease, or whose lease has expired, who shall fail to
remove same upon order of the Manager within the time specified, shall forfeit all
claim thereto, which expense of claim must be paid before material is released to the
owner.
The management of the State Fair reserves the right to amend, add to and
interpret the foregoing and following Rules and Regulations, and to arbitrarily settle
and determine all questions and differences in regard thereto, or otherwise arising
out of, connected with, or incident to the Fair. In the event of conflict between the
General Rules and the special rules which appear as headnotes of the various
divisions and departments of the Fair, the latter will take precedence.
Disregard of any rule, misrepresentation on the part of the exhibitor, conces-sionaire
or patrons will forfeit all premiums won, privileges granted, fees paid, and
rights to further participation in the Fair.

one whose skill the exhibit represents. A firm, to be entitled to exhibit as such, must
have been organized not less than 30 days prior to the closing date for entries, and
such firm must have been organized as a bona fide firm for the purpose of produc-ing,
or buying and selling the articles or animals it proposes to exhibit in the name of
such firm. A firm will be regarded as one exhibitor.
Official printed forms or copies of this form MUST BE USED in making applica-tions
for entry.
One can be found in the back of the book. USE A SEPARATE FORM FOR
ENTRIES IN EACH DEPARTMENT. Be sure to fill out the application form completely,

Incomplete entry forms will be returned for correction if there is time to do so,
but REMEMBER: No article or animals will be entitled to exhibition space until proper
entry has been made. No entry will be accepted after the closing date listed for each
department.
Once an entry is made, it cannot be changed except where it is improperly
classed or a mistake has been made in copying the original entry—in which event the
changes can be made only with the permission of the Department Superintendent, or
Director in charge, AND THEN ONLY IN THE OFFICE OF THE "ENTRY SUPERINTEN-DENT."
If the records are altered and do not conform with the information on file in
the Entry Department, payment of premiums will be withheld.
No person except personnel of the Entry Department will be allowed to see the
entries, or have access to the entry books, until after the awards are made.
The same article or animal cannot be entered for more than one premium
number (except as otherwise stated in the Special Department Rules and Regula-tions).

GENERAL RULES

EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORS
The dates on which your exhibits must be in place at State Fair VARY FROM
ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER. These dates are set out in the Department Headings
and Rules and Regulations. Check these dates carefully so you can get your exhibits
IN PLACE AT THE PROPER TIME TO BE JUDGED.
UNCLAIMED EXHIBITS FROM COMPETITIVE DEPARTMENTS, will be considered
abandoned if not called for within one week after the official closing of the Fair, and
may be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. SEE SPECIAL RULES for the
Culinary and Horticulture Departments.
Remember! All exhibits must be officially entered in the Fair on official printed
forms provided for that purpose, before the closing date for entries in the department.
No article or animal will be entitled to space or considered in the judging until proper
entry has been made. Removal of exhibits before the date and time specified will be
cause for forfeit of all premiums won, all fees paid, and the right to further participation
in the Fair.
In all but livestock departments, entries and exhibits will remain in place through
the entire fair. Release times are scheduled for the day following the fair due to the
lack of parking available nearby for those to pick up entries or exhibits, and in an effort
to keep vehicles off the grounds during crowded conditions. The regulation will also
assure those attending the fair during the evening of the final day of seeing the same
exhibits and entries as those attending earlier.
All exhibits will be numbered and recorded in the books of the proper depart-ment
and class and exhibit tag with corresponding numbers will be issued. This tag
must be securely attached to the exhibit and must remain on the exhibit throughout the
Fair (except that exhibit tags issued for livestock and poultry may be conspicuously
displayed upon the stall, pen or coop). ENTRY TAGS WILL NOT BE MAILED but will be
available, at the Entry Department, Administration Building.
Once the exhibit is numbered and tagged, it should be delivered to the Depart-ment
Superintendent or Director who will allocate space and either personally arrange
the exhibit in a suitable and attractive display or direct such action by the exhibitor. The
State Fair assumes no responsibility for the incorrect tagging of exhibits.
All exhibitors are urged to personally bring their exhibits to the Fair and enjoy the
educational and recreational advantages of the annual exposition. However exhibits
may be shipped or mailed to: N.C. STATE FAIR, 1010 MAIL SERVICE CENTER, RALEIGH,
N.C. 27699-1010, and they will be carefully handled, officially entered, tagged, and
otherwise treated in the same manner as previously described. They will be given the
same consideration with regard to display and judging as exhibits personally delivered.
All exhibits shipped or mailed MUST BE PREPAID. No transportation charges for
express, postage, freight or drayage will be paid by the Fair. Shipments should be
carefully labeled, accompanied by a bill of lading, and properly identified inside and
outside the package as to the department, class and premium number under which
they have been previously entered. They should be shipped or mailed at least a week
or 10 days prior to the opening of the Fair. The management will not be responsible for
delayed shipments which arrive at the Fair too late to be considered in the judging.
Division Directors and Department Superintendents will have full authority over
allocation of space, and will have direct supervision of all exhibits which are consid-ered
on exhibition as a part of the Fair’s attractions, subject to use as these Directors
and Superintendents see fit to add to the educational values of the Fair. Livestock able
to be led or driven, or which will follow, must participate in parades and group
exhibitions as directed by the Department Superintendent.
All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor except as noted in the Junior
Dairy Cattle and Market Cattle shows. Stalls and pens will be furnished bedding before
GENERAL RULES
20
the Fair free of charge. Thereafter exhibitors will be required to furnish their own
bedding and keep all stalls and pens clean. Feed and straw will be sold on the grounds
at prevailing prices.
When exhibit tags are issued by the Entry Department for each article entered, a
stub will be given the exhibitor to serve as his claim check to recover and secure the
release of his exhibit. Claim checks should be guarded carefully, since Department
Superintendents and Directors are not allowed to release any exhibit without presenta-tion
of the exhibit tag stub. If the claim check is lost, such loss should be reported
promptly and it will be necessary for the exhibitor to furnish the Superintendent of the
Entry Department proof of ownership of the article on exhibit.
Exhibits entered in the premium classes which are not claimed within one week
after the close of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned by the exhibitor
and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. Other exhibits, materials
therein, including concession booths, which are not claimed by the exhibitor or
concessionaire within 30 days after the end of the Fair will be considered to have
been abandoned and will become the property of the State Fair.
The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exhibit which does not
reflect merit and which would not be a credit to both the exhibitor and the Fair. Also,
the right is reserved to reject exhibits which are deemed objectionable or unsuitable for
exhibition. All entries are accepted conditionally pending inspection of the article or
animal to be exhibited. Any article or animal which proves to be misrepresented or
falsely classed will be rejected and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in
the Fair will be denied.
Division Directors, Department Superintendents, and/or Judges must report
disqualification of entries to the Manager of the State Fair immediately after such action
is taken. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL JUDGING BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL AND
PREMIUMS PAID IN A CLASS WHERE DISQUALIFICATION IS RECOMMENDED UNTIL
APPROVAL OF THE DISQUALIFICATION(S) IS OBTAINED FROM THE FAIR MANAGER.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise and
distribute literature and free samples from their place of exhibit only, but may not sell
any article or animal from their exhibit space without a permit from the manager. The
distribution of advertising matter which conflicts in any manner with a concession sold
by the Management is prohibited.
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping the
space in and around their exhibits, including unused space, aisles and roadways,
clean and free of rubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit booth and conces-sion
stand must be thoroughly cleaned by the exhibitor or concessionaire at the end of
each Fair day. Failure to do so will be cause for cancellation of contract.
No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sublet without permission of the
Fair manager.
JUDGING AND AWARDS
Decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except in
cases of protest in writing, with strong evidence of fraud or violation of the rules of
the Fair. Protests must be filed with the Division Superintendent not later than noon of
the day following the award, and must be accompanied by a protest fee of $5.00
which will be retained by the Fair if the protest is not sustained. The protest must be
filed no later than 3 days following the award. The Division Superintendent will appoint
a committee to consider the protest and all interested parties will be notified of the time
of the hearing and will be given an opportunity to be heard. The rules of the Interna-tional
Association of Fairs and Expositions governing appeals will be those of the North
Carolina Fair.
GENERAL RULES
21
Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its mere
presence. It must be individual worthy. It is not the policy of the Fair to encourage
indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute premiums equally among exhibitors.
No premium will be awarded to any exhibit that does not possess high intrinsic merit.
Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO
EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL CLASS,
AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN ANY GROUP CLASS.
No exhibitor may accompany judges during their deliberations except such
attendants as are necessary to handle and show livestock and other such exhibits.
Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during their adjudications, or who
publicly expresses disapproval of the decision of the judges, will be excluded from
further competition and any premiums previously won will be forfeited.
Fraud or deception as to breeding, or in any other form, will be exposed and
exhibitor guilty of such violation will be excluded from further participation in the Fair
and all premiums previously won will be forfeited.
Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging reports,
which will be signed by the judge and by the Department Superintendent or Director.
Ribbons will be securely attached to the articles upon which they were awarded, if
possible, but the ribbons have no value in the payment of premiums since they may
become detached and find their way on to the wrong exhibit.
Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department Superinten-dent,
BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE IN THE OFFICE OF, AND WITH
THE APPROVAL OF, THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE ENTRY DEPARTMENT. Records
must be changed when entries are reclassified. If the records are altered and the
entry department files are not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing
the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits to which they have awarded premiums.
Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that does not
qualify for one of the classes in the State Fair Premium List.
Premiums checks will be mailed to all exhibitors no later than 60 days after the
fair. Errors in premium statements will be corrected until December 31, 2004 after
which time the books of the 2004 Fair are closed.
The following colors of ribbons will be used to designate awards:

completed entry form must be submitted by 1:00 p.m. on the day of judging. Your entry
will be processed, but this takes time and in most cases you will need to add plant
name to complete the entry tag-particularily in classes of "any" or "other" plants
unlisted.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE SIX SEPARATE DIVISIONS. Entries for each division
should be listed on a SEPARATE entry form for each division. List all cut specimens you
expect to have; it is easier to delete entries that do not measure up than to enter at the
last minute.
Most entries will be submitted for the First Show, including all of Divisions I and V. All of
Division II is in the Second Show, and all of Division III is in the Third Show. Groups in
Divisions IV and VI are included in each of the three shows. Entries in Division I,
Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 must be submitted by 3:00 p.m. October 14. Entry forms are
due by 1:00 p.m. on the same day.
At the time of the Fair, you must bring your entries to the Flower House on the date and
by the times specified below. The Flower House is located on the west side of the
FLOWER SHOW
31
Fairgrounds. Enter Gate 6 from Youth Center Road. You will be permitted to drive into
the grounds ONLY to unload entries. If requested, please show your entry form at the
gate. No container-grown plants will be accepted before October 11.
