Every exhibit must be entered in the name of the owner. Items that are not the work of the exhibitor may be entered for display only. Entries are to be delivered to the proper exhibit location. Each exhibit must have an exhibitor tag. Tags may be obtained at the Delta Library or Alaska Farmers Co-op. Having tags completed prior to entry will save time during the entry process. Exhibitor numbers will be assigned at time of entry. Commercial/professional entries should indicate such near the exhibitor number. Exhibitors must include correct Division, Unit, Class, and Lot for each exhibit he/she wishes to enter. An exhibitor may make only one entry per lot except for some livestock divisions. Please write legibly. Return address stickers may be used on tags. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to meet all deadlines. No exhibitors are exempt from paying the gate fee during Fair weekend. Exhibitors may not move exhibits during the fair or change space assignments. Any non-classified entry will be accepted and the superintendent will create a new lot or class as appropriate. The right to combine lots with less than three entries is left to the discretion of the superintendent as is the right to refuse to accept any entry offered. With the exception of livestock and plants, no entry shall have been previously exhibited at the Deltana Fair. Age Classifications Preschool: 0-5; Youth: 6-9; Junior: 10-13; Intermediate: 14-18; Adult: 19-64; Senior Citizen: 65 & over. Judging, Prizes & Premiums Judging score cards are available to exhibitors on request. The Fair Association reserves the right to close exhibit areas to public viewing until judging is completed. Judging may begin in any division immediately following close of entries. Exhibits will be judged using the American or Danish systems. All judging decisions are final. Ribbons and cash premiums awards will be: First, blue ribbon and $3; Second, red ribbon and $2; Third, white ribbon and $1; Grand Champion rosette ribbon and $3; Reserve Champion rosette ribbon and $2; People’s Choice, rosette ribbon (Division 8-12 only). These cash premiums will be awarded except where noted. Commercial exhibits will be awarded ribbons, but no cash premiums, and may be judged separately. Exhibit Hall Cash Premiums will be available at the Exhibit Hall Friday after 7 p.m. Livestock Cash Premiums will be available at the Barn following inspection of stalls on Sunday. Should any exhibitor obtain a premium through any false evidence or misrepresentation, or by any violation of any of the rules and regulations herein, the money or premium will be withheld by the superintendent upon ascertaining that such has been the case. 2 Removal of Exhibits No exhibits may be removed from the Fairgrounds before 4 pm on the Sunday of Fair weekend. The Exhibit Halls will be open until 6 pm. Should you not be able to pick up exhibits on Sunday you may call the fair or exhibit manager until the following weekend to make arrangements to pick up exhibits. The Fair Association will not be responsible for exhibits left after that time and exhibits may be destroyed. Any exhibit removed in violation of this rule will forfeit all premiums that may be awarded, and prohibit entry the following year. Superintendents There will be a superintendents’ meeting prior to the fair to coordinate paperwork to insure uniformity. It is the Superintendents’ responsibility to verify the correct completion of exhibit tags before accepting any entry. Superintendents will supervise ribbon placing after judging is completed. Superintendents will enlist help to run their divisions, take entries and arrange displays (all day Tuesday and Thursday), and take down displays as exhibitors pick up their entries Sunday evening.

Such animals may only be on the fairgrounds one hour prior to and following the event in which they are entered, except for livestock and other animals when approved arrangements have been made with the Fair Manager for keeping of the animals in the livestock/camping area. The Fair Management will use every possible precaution to protect the exhibits and property while on exhibition, but it is understood that the Fair Association shall not be held responsible for loss, damage or injury of any kind from any source whatsoever. Due to conditions beyond our control, the Fair Management, or members will not be responsible for personal injuries, accidents or losses sustained by visitors, exhibitors, or any other person on the Fairgrounds.
