2026 Exhibitor Guidebook

2026 Independent Exhibitor Insurance

All Independent Exhibitors are required to purchase their insurance through the fair office. Cost is $95.00 per exhibitor no matter how many entries you have in each class.

Since an independent exhibitor does not have liability coverage through a sponsoring organization, a legal guardian or parent must be able to provide proof of liability coverage naming the fair as additionally insured and sign a waiver.

Proof of insurance or purchase of fair insurance is due to the Administration Office by July 1, 2026 at 5pm.


SHEEP, GOAT AND SWINE DNA KITS
DNA kits will also be available for purchase at the Fairpark Administration Office — $10 each

DUE DATE: May 13, 2026

  • Sheep, Goat and Swine DNA kits must be purchased by May 10 at 5:00 PM.
  • Completed DNA kits must be returned to the Fairpark Office by May 13 at 5:00 PM.

If purchasing online, do not forget to bring a copy of your receipt to the Fairpark Office to pick up your DNA kit.
Office hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM.


PLEASE NOTE: If you plan to purchase in bulk—whether online or at the office—please call in advance of your pickup to confirm availability. Office phone number: (805) 925-8824
