Adult’s Code of Conduct

While at El Dorado County Fair

As the parent, guardian, leader or advisor of an animal exhibitor in the El Dorado County Fair:

I believe my child should demonstrate his or her own ability, knowledge, and skill as a feeder, fitter, and show person of a show

animal. I understand that no adult may participate in my child’s duty of washing, grooming, fitting, handling, or showing of his or

her animal while at the fair.

I will ensure that my child follows the competition rules, and does not use abusive, questionable or unethical techniques in

the feeding, caring, fitting, or showing of any animals. I will ensure that my child does not resort to fraudulent, illegal or deceptive

practices while fitting or preparing the animal for show and will follow withdrawal protocol.

I have read and understand all of the rules and regulations found in the Contest Handbook.

I realize that my child is responsible for:



The proper care and humane treatment of animals before, during, and after exhibition and sale.



The production of wholesome food when the exhibit animal is designated for market.

I will conduct myself at all times to be a credit to my child’s organization, chapter, club, school, community, and family. I will

follow proper procedures and chain of command if there is a conflict. I will not post negative comments or conflict on social

media.

I am aware that responsible alcohol use is allowed on the fairgrounds and I will limit my use of alcohol so that I set a proper

example for my child and the children of others around me. I shall ensure that other adults are equally responsible in the use of

alcohol around my child. I shall not use any drugs that are considered illegal at the federal, state or local level while on the

fairgrounds.

I understand that direct criticism or interference with the judge, fair or livestock show management, other exhibitors, breed

representatives, or show officials before, during, or after the competitive event is prohibited. In the furtherance of their official

duty, all judges, fair and livestock show management, or other show officials shall be treated with courtesy, cooperation, and

respect. I will not allow any person connected with my child’s project to direct abusive or threatening conduct toward any show

official. Protest rules can be found in the Entry Guide.

I understand and agree that if I, my child, my child’s supervisor or leader or any other adult or minor connected with my child’s

project or animal(s) break the rules, I will accept the final decision of the Fair Management regarding the disqualification of my

child and or the animal, the loss of prizes, the forfeiture of auction participation, loss of future eligibility, and forfeiture of any

monetary award(s).

I understand that my minor child will not stay overnight at the Fairgrounds without their parent or guardian present.

I accept that these entries are subject to the rules and regulations as published in the official Entry Handbook. I further

declare that all statements made in connection with my child’s entries are true.

I will remember that children participate to have fun and that the competition is for the benefit of youth, not adults.
