Judging Open Class

In order to encourage entries in the Livestock Division, the Sanders County Fair Commission reserves the right to offer ribbons and/or premiums, or not to offer the same, for any animal entered in the fair, even if that animal is not listed in the Fair Premium Book.

Where there is only one entry in a lot, the Judges shall have the right to award First, Second, Third or No Place according to the merits of the entry.

Judges’ decisions are final. No appeal will be considered except in the case of an error.

Any exhibitor trying to influence or interfere with the judging will be promptly expelled from the competition and all ribbons and/or premiums forfeited.

Any exhibit not properly entered is not eligible to compete. If any exhibit is improperly listed and shown, the same may be placed in its proper class, providing that class has not already been judged. The Fair Commission is not responsible for such changes.

No ribbons or premiums will be given if there is clear evidence of any tampering. Payment of premiums will be made based on the information given to the Fair Office from the judging portion of the entry tags punched by the judges and attending clerks and superintendents.
