General Rules: The Jefferson Davis Parish Fair is a four-day fair beginning at 6:30pm October 3 and ending at 11:00pm October 6, 2012. No exhibit, except livestock, poultry and rabbits, can be removed until 12:00pm on Monday, October 8. Premium money will be forfeited if exhibits are removed off the fairgrounds prior to release time. All exhibitors must be residents of Jeff Davis Parish. Applications to exhibit in any of the various departments must be sent to the Jefferson Davis Parish Fair Association at the Jeff Davis Fairgrounds in Jennings, LA on or before Tuesday, October 2, from 8:00a.m.to 6:00p.m., unless otherwise provided for in any of the rules governing each department.

Notice to all exhibitors: The Fair Association will take every precaution to ensure safety to all exhibitors, but in no case shall the Association or any officer or employee of the Jefferson Davis Parish Fair Association be held responsible for any loss, injury, death or disease of any character to any such property while the exhibit is on the Fairgrounds. Due to the fact that it is easy to move tags and ribbons from one exhibit to another, all awards will be made from the judges' records. Where there is no competition, no premium will be given unless the judge finds the exhibit worthy. If you wish to add or delete entries listed in the fair catalog, call the fairgrounds office at 824-8181.

False evidence and protests: Any exhibitor violating any of the rules of the Jefferson Davis Parish Fair or obtaining any rewards by false evidences or misrepresentation will forfeit all awards. All protests must be made to the Fair Office in writing five (5) business hours after the cause and accompanied by a deposit of $50, which will be forfeited if protest is not sustained. The protest must state plainly the cause of complaint or appeal and must be filed with the fair manager immediately upon access to the fair office. Business hours are from 8:00am to 9:00pm, Oct. 3-6, 2012.

Entries: Entries in all divisions must be made at the main office located on the Fairgrounds, Hwy. 26 South, Jennings, (337-824-8181). The 2012 Fair catalog will be available on the LSU AgCenter Jeff Davis Parish web site at www.lsuagcenter.com/jeffdavis Limited copies may be available at the LSU AgCenter Extension Service Office located at the Parish Fairgrounds. Entries will not be accepted after dates listed in the catalog.

Premiums: If there is only one exhibit in a given class, first place will be awarded and only when judges think the exhibit deserves this placing. In the event there is not sufficient money to pay all premiums as listed in the catalog, they will be paid on a percentage basis. The following colors will be used in designating awards: Champion, Royal Purple; Reserve Champion, Lavender; First Premium, Blue; Second Premium, Red; Third Premium, White; Fourth Premium, Pink; Fifth Premium, Yellow; Honorable Mention, Green; Champion and Reserve Champion shall be Rosettes. In case of an irregularity of any entry or questions as to the right of animal or article to compete in a given class, the judges shall report same to the Manager. Any attempt to interfere with the superintendents in the performance of their duties in any department will be considered just cause for disqualifying an exhibitor from competing for premiums.
