The Clay County Fair reserves to its Executive Committee the final and absolute right to interpret these rules and regulations, and arbitrarily settle and determine all matters, questions, and differences in regard hereto, or otherwise arising out of, connected with, or incidental to the Fair. Any person who violates any of the following rules will forfeit all privileges and premiums and be subject to such penalty as the Fair may order.
