Table of Contents Preface

4. Fairs & Expositions (F&E) is the final and absolute interpreter of these rules. Only a fair may request, in writing a variance on their own behalf or on behalf of an exhibitor to a specific rule. This request must be made prior to the start of the fair or specific competition for which a variance is requested. If F&E approves a specific variance request it may approve a conditional variance with specific conditions. Any approved variance shall expire at the conclusion of the annual fair. 5. Fair Management and/or Board of Directors may grant variances to ownership rule in the instance of deceased animals, submission of late entries and refund of entry fees. Variances may be ruled upon by F&E at the request of Fair Management and/or Board of Directors. 6. F&E will distribute any corrections and additions to these rules to fairs. It is the fair’s responsibility to make them available. F&E does not represent or endorse the accuracy, correctness or reliability of any advice, opinion, statement or other information displayed by the fair in the distribution of corrections and additions to these rules. True and correct copies of all rules and any additions or corrections are available upon request at F&E during business hours, by mail or at www.cdfa.ca.gov/fe. 7. Fairs may create “Local Rules” that may be stricter than the State Rules but that may not circumvent the State Rules. 8. If a local rule is not printed in the exhibitor handbook the applicable State Rule will apply. 9. Competition at the California State Fair is not governed by State Fair’s rules.

NOTE: The deposit will be returned if the protest is upheld.

b. In the case of protest, the unofficial judging results may be used to prepare the sale list and other necessary information. At the discretion of the CEO judging can be delayed to allow time for the fair to resolve the protest if to do so does not unreasonably delay or disrupt the operations of the remainder of the fair judging and auction events. Prior to judging the affected class, fairs may announce that an entry has been protested. All questions concerning competition or nonprotestable disputes or differences with staff or the exhibition not provided for under the State or Local Rules shall be referred to the CEO or their designee, whose decision shall be final. Violations of State Rules may be appealed to F&E in writing. An individual may appeal to F&E only after adjudication at the local level and only if: a. The decision upholds a Local Rule that circumvents or is not in the spirit of a State Rule(s); b. The individual can substantiate new and credible information that was not available at the time of the local decision; or c. There was inappropriate adjudication at the local level that may have included conflict of interest, lack of due process, or a significant misinterpretation of rules.
