This is where I live. And now it’s where I’ll live an active life with asthma.
– Katie, Asthma Patient

As my asthma a ttacks became more severe, I had to leave the things I love — like hiking — behind. So I turned to LG Health Physicians. My family doctor and specialist developed an action plan that included quick-relief medication and education. No w, I’m able to stop a ttacks before they begin. LG Health Physicians helped me sidestep asthma setbacks.

Welcome to Elizabethtown

A FEW WORDS FROM ELIZABETHTOWN FAIR PRESIDENT

To everyone in the Greater Elizabethtown Area,

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to the 44th annual Elizabethtown Fair. Our Fair serves as a showcase for local talent and reminds us of the agricultural heritage of Lancaster County. It is a place for families and friends to gather and celebrate all the best in our community. It seems fitting that this year’s theme is “ An American Tradition,” as this is what the Fair has come to represent for those who visit each year.

Forty-four years ago we had our first Fair in the Elizabethtown Community Park. The first year we had one exhibit tent for competitive exhibits, one food stand and a few carnival rides. There were no livestock or commercial vendors, no contests and no entertainment. Forty-four years later we have grown to over 3,000 competitive exhibits, forty foodstands, over 150 commercial exhibitors, and over 800 livestock. We have added entertainment on two stages and daily contests.

We offer something for everyone, from the Baby Photo Contest to Senior Citizens Day. The Petting Zoo, manned by more than 100 volunteers, is a popular attraction for all ages. We offer a place for youth to come together to show their livestock.

As you may be aware, the Fair operates with great cooperation from the Elizabethtown Area School District and the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church, as the fairgrounds are located on school property and parking is offered on church property. The church also provides an area for Competitive Exhibits to be displayed and a room for our monthly Board Meetings. I would like to thank the Elizabethtown Area School District and the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church for being part of the Fair.

On behalf of the Elizabethtown Fair Board I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our supporters, including volunteers, sponsors, vendors and patrons. The Elizabethtown Fair has continued to grow and serve as a place for us to gather as a community to exhibit, compete, and to entertain and fellowship together. We have successfully been able to bring together agriculture, business, church and education in a great atmosphere.

Thanks for your support and SEE YOU AT THE FAIR!

Farmer For A Day

Farmer for a Day is an Activity Station designed to educate families in important farming tasks such as gathering eggs, picking apples and digging for potatoes. The station consists of activities designed for them to see, touch and experience where their food comes from. Children will delight in finding eggs nestled in the straw under the chickens, plucking a shiny apple off the tree and digging deep in the sand for the perfect potato. Families will learn that there is something (a farm) before the grocery store. Local FFA members will be available to assist children.

Farmer for a Day is located in a tent adjacent to the Petting Zoo and is operated by the Elizabethtown FFA. It is open daily fair week from 5:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. and noon to 9:00 p.m. on Saturday.

GENERAL RULES

1. All exhibitors agree to be bound by the Rules and Regulations of the Elizabethtown Fair.

2. The Fair management reserves the right to amend and/or add to these Rules and Regulations as its judgments may determine.

3. Reasonable care will be taken to protect all exhibits on display from injury and damage, but the Fair is not in any way to be held responsible for accidents, loss or damage by water, fire, theft, or otherwise, whatever may be the cause or extent of the damage or loss.

4. It shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor to make known the proper name of the article or breed of livestock he is entering. Any item entered improperly may be disqualified, but the judges will mark the correct name on the entry tag for the benefit of the owner so that the same mistake in entering need not be made a second time.

5. Chairpersons of each department reserve the right to refuse any entry. Furthermore, the chairpersons reserve the right to bar from competition animals and/or products of decidedly inferior quality and those not possessing sufficient merit to warrant recognition. Chairpersons may limit the number of entries per exhibitor.

6. During judging, buildings, except livestock arenas, are to be closed to everyone except Fair officials, judges, Pennsylvania Fair Fund officials and necessary attendants. No exhibitor nor his agent shall communicate with the judge during judging except to answer questions proposed by the judges. Any exhibitor interfering with the judges shall forfeit any premium to which he would otherwise be entitled.

7. Premiums, as listed, may be given for meritorious exhibits. In cases where there is no competition, judges may give an award such as they deem the exhibit is worthy to receive. The same rule applies where there are fewer entries in any class than the number of premiums offered. The judges may, at their discretion, award a ribbon or rosette.

8. The Fair management may, at any time, order the removal of any exhibit or part of exhibit in bad condition, sick or unruly. The chairpersons must notify exhibitors of any exhibits that have become unfit. After having done so the chairperson may dispose of the exhibit at his discretion.

ADDITIONAL RULES FOR LIVESTOCK EXHIBITS

1. All livestock entries must be postmarked by August 1 to The Elizabethtown Fair, P.O. Box 285, Elizabethtown, PA 17022. Late entries will be accepted from August 2 until check-in, provided space is available. The cost of late entries will be $25 per head.

2. All livestock exhibitors must sign the verification form stating that they have read, understand and agree to abide by all rules established by the Fair and the Code of Show Ring Ethics. A parent signa-

ture is also required for youth under age 19.

3. All purebred breeding livestock must be accompanied by a certificate of registration which shall be available for chairperson or judge at any time.

4. Joint ownership is considered to be as one owner in accordance with registration papers. Youth livestock exhibits must be registered in exhibitor’s name only.

5. Exhibitors of sale livestock are limited to those residing in Columbia, Donegal, Elizabethtown, Hempfield, Manheim Central, Middletown, Lower Dauphin, Hershey and Palmyra School Districts.

6. Market livestock will be weighed by Fair officials.

7. Initial bedding will be supplied. Additional bedding must be supplied by exhibitor.

8. Should any animal awarded a prize be disqualified, the animal gaining the lower prizes shall move into the next higher position if, in the opinion of the judges, the animals are worthy of the prizes.

9. All animals must be clean, properly clipped and fitted before showtime. Chairperson reserves the right to disqualify animals.

10. Any exhibitor removing their exhibit prior to the permitted times will forfeit their premiums and be barred from competing the following year.

ADDITIONAL RULES FOR COMPETITIVE EXHIBITS

1. Registration will be held Monday between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. All competitive exhibit entries must be received during this time.

2. Pre-registration will be held at the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church exhibit hall from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on the Saturday prior to the Fair. Exhibitors may receive registration forms, entry tags and computer numbers during this time. Participants who choose to use this early opportunity must enter through the rear entrance only. No entries will be accepted at this time.

3. All competitive exhibitors must sign the entry form verification stating that they have read, understand and agree to abide by all rules established by the Fair.

4. Competitive exhibits must be picked up between 3 and 5 p.m. Saturday. No exhibits may be picked up without duplicate exhibit number stub. No exhibit may be released before 3 p.m. in accordance with PA State Law. Any exhibitor removing their exhibit prior to the permitted times will forfeit their premiums and be barred from competing the following year.

NEW FOR 2018

The following change will be implemented for 2018. The Agriculture Committee has made a decision to implement a minimum age limit on consideration of the safety of all spectators and exhibitors. Beginning with the 2018 Fair, the minimum age to exhibit sheep, swine, goats and rabbits will be age 5 as of January 1. The minimum age to exhibit dairy beef and beef will be age 8 as of January 1. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS.

SUPREME CHAMPION EVENTS

On Wednesday, August 23, at 5:00 p.m., the SUPREME MARKET CHAMPION will be chosen prior to the Sale of Champions. The Supreme Champion Market Livestock (Swine, Beef, Sheep, Goat and Rabbit) will compete for the Supreme Champion Market Livestock of the Fair. A cup trophy will be awarded to the winner. The trophy will be kept by the winner for one year. The trophy will be retired with two consecutive yearly wins by the same exhibitor. This competition is for youth only. The Supreme Champion Market Livestock trophy is being sponsored by Groff's Meats, Inc.
