ADA defines service animals as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Texas statutes define an assistance animal as one that is specifically trained or equipped to help a person with a disability. Service animals can accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the Stock Show grounds where the public is normally allowed to go. A person with a service animal may be asked to remove the service animal from the premises if: 1) the dog is out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it; or 2) the dog is not housebroken. Any Stock Show visitor who is asked to remove a dog or pet from the grounds will be able to participate in and enjoy Stock Show offerings without the animal s presence. This rule does not apply to official entries in the Texas Sheep Dog Association Trials or Stock Show specialty acts. 21. Cooking. Cooking is not allowed on the show grounds at any time other than by food concessionaires. No cookers, crock-pots, microwaves, coffee pots, warmers or other cooking utensils will be permitted. 22.

DAVE B. SHERRILL, JR. MEMORIAL AWARD In July 2006, the Texas Standard-bred poultry community lost its cornerstone with the passing of Dave B. Sherrill, Jr. He was an active poultry participant, skilled breeder, judge and exhibitor, show superintendent and congenial mentor to thousands of poultry exhibitors throughout the country. Dave Sherrill Jr. was one of a handful of men who forged the Texas poultry fancy and worked to fire the exhibition poultry engine over many decades. While Dave Sherrill bred and enjoyed a modest variety of poultry throughout his lifetime, his special favorites were the Old English Game Bantams. In particular he received well deserved honors and recognition for his Black Breasted Red Old English Game Bantams. In remembrance of Dave B. Sherrill, Jr. as a dedicated friend to our poultry hobby in Texas, and in recognition for achievements with his favorite Old English Game Bantams, the following memorial award will be offered beginning with the 2007 Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show. Champion Old English Game Bantam W. EARL BRADFORD TRAVELING AWARD The memorial award for CHAMPION SINGLE COMB WHITE LEGHORN BANTAM, given in honor of W. EARL BRADFORD, was first offered at the 1985 Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show. With the passing of Mr. Bradford in 1994, the existing plaque was retired, and a memorial plaque continues to be given each year in his memory. F. ADRIAN BALLARD TRIBUTE AWARD The passing of club member F. Adrian Ballard in June 2002 saddened the Fort Worth Bantam Club as we lost a very active and supportive friend. In remembrance of Mr. Ballard as a catalyst and diligent worker for the Fort Worth Bantam Club, and in recognition for his promotion of, and successes with the Australorp breed, the Fort Worth Bantam Club offers the following awards on the breed that he enjoyed and promoted so well. The Fort Worth Bantam Club offers two (2) special memento plaques in remembrance of F. Adrian Ballard for the Champion Australorp, large and bantam in competition together. One plaque will be for the Champion Austalorp in the Open Show and one will be awarded for the Champion Australorp in the Junior Show.
