STATE FAIR

Dear Fair Friends,
While thinking about this year’s theme, “Love a Fair,” I decided that one of the
things I love most about the 158-year-old N.C. State Fair is the opportunity for
so many people to learn about our state’s agricultural heritage. Where else can
agricultural leaders educate more than 1 million people about the past, present
and future of North Carolina’s top industry – agriculture?
For many fairgoers, the State Fair is a beloved autumn tradition. It’s a time to
reunite with family and friends, and to share in favorite Fair activities. Fairgoers
love trying new foods, checking out the family-friendly entertainment and trying
new rides on the Midway. The Fair is a place to have new experiences and make
lasting memories.
For 60 years, fairgoers have experienced an outstanding variety of heritage craft
demonstrations in the Village of Yesteryear, a place that continues to top the list of
things people enjoy most about the Fair. Each year, hundreds of competitors pour
their love into creating delicious dishes for the Special Cooking Contests, many
of which are sponsored by North Carolina agricultural commodity organizations.
And for the countless youth who have raised an animal to show in a livestock
competition, a blue ribbon is a well-earned honor the crowd loves to see.
What makes you love a fair? Come find out for yourself, Oct. 13-23 at the State
Fairgrounds in Raleigh.
Sincerely,
Steven W. Troxler

North Carolina State Fair
Dear Friends,
It’s time to get creative and explore the N.C. State Fair competitive exhibits
opportunities. There are hundreds of categories to choose from, and the 2011
Premium Book will help you discover the many ways you can participate in the
State Fair. Wouldn’t you love to win a blue ribbon? Now is your chance, and
with more than $600,000 in prize money at stake, you’ll want to pay close at-tention
to rules listed in this book so you’ll know when registration forms and
entries are due.
This year’s theme is “Love a Fair,” and it brings to mind the many things that
make the State Fair special. Fairgoers tell us they love to see the animal ex-hibits
and competition entries on display. Some people come for the traditional
Fair foods, while others love to try the newest deep-friend creation. And after a
long day of thrilling Midway rides and exciting entertainment, you’ll fall in love
with the more serene areas of the fairgrounds, such as the Flower Show and
Heritage Circle.
There’s so much to love about the N.C. State Fair. For more information on
what’s in store for this year, please visit our website, www.ncstatefair.org. I ap-preciate
your continued support, and hope to see you October 13-23.
Sincerely,
Wesley V. Wyatt

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 SUPERINTENDENT." 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.

as otherwise stated in the Special Department Rules and Regulations). Collections and
displays must be made up of specimens, other than those entered in single (individual)
classes unless otherwise noted.

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 department 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 Department
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
1025 BLUE RIDGE ROAD
RALEIGH, N.C. 27607
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 considered 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.
GENERAL RULES
18
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 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 presentation 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 concession 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 International Association of Fairs and Expositions
governing appeals will be those of the North Carolina Fair.
GENERAL RULES
19
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 Superintendent, 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, 2010 after which time the books
of the 2010 Fair are closed.
