47 Play it Safe Campaign Whether you re exhibiting prize-winning animals or just admiring them from afar, preventing animal-borne diseases begins with clean hands, gear, and for exhibitors, clean surroundings. Remember these important tips: Keep food and beverages out of animal areas. Toys, pacifiers, spill-proof cups and baby bottles can drop and become contaminated, so it s best to keep them put away in a sealed bag. Wipe off the wheels of any strollers or wagons brought into animal areas. The wheels have touched the ground and must be cleaned before being handled or loaded back into your vehicle. Don t allow children to sit or play on the ground in animal areas. If you see a child s hands are dirty, supervise/assist with proper hand washing. If you have an animal of any kind at the fair: Make sure animal feed/water are not accessible to the public. Promptly remove manure/soiled animal bedding from area. Store tools for waste removal in areas restricted from the public. Disinfect animal-area hard surfaces whenever possible. Do not use animal areas for public (non-animal) activities. Areas should be disinfected after animals are removed. PLAY IT SAFE LIVESTOCK EXHIBITOR PRIZE DRAWING! How to enter: Visit the livestock page and look for the Play it Safe logo.

48 YOUTH CODE OF EXCELLENCE SONOMA COUNTY FAIR CODE OF EXCELLENCE ADOPTED 1996 Exhibitors of animals at the Sonoma County Fair shall at all times deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their conduct in this competitive environment shall always reflect the highest standards of honor and dignity to promote the advancement of agricultural education. This code applies to all junior exhibitors who compete in structured classes of competition of any livestock class offered in any event at the Sonoma County Fair. These include: cattle (beef & dairy) goats (dairy, meat & pygmy), equine (horse, pony), llamas, sheep, swine, rabbits, cavy, poultry. Owners, exhibitors, leaders, parents/guardians, and absolutely responsible persons found to violate this code of excellence or in violation of rules or in practices unethical or inimical with the show program will forfeit premiums, awards, and auction proceeds and shall be prohibited from future exhibition according to rules adopted by the Sonoma County Fair. The following is a listing of rules all exhibitors must follow to enter any animal at the Sonoma County Fair. 1. All exhibitors must have viable proof of ownership available to fair and livestock show officials at their request. Documents should include current ownership information, transfer of ownership (if any), length of ownership, and age of animal(s). Misrepresentation of ownership, age, breed, or any facts relating thereto is prohibited. Exhibitors and their agents and advisors agree to comply with the printed exhibitor guidebook rules upon entry. 2. No exhibitor may show an animal which has been previously shown and/or sold as a market animal through another fair or livestock show, whether or not there is an actual change of ownership (progress level shows excluded). Any method used to misrepresent the age of an animal for a class in which it is shown is deceptive and considered illegal. Showing an animal for another individual by claiming ownership in order to show in a specific livestock class or event is prohibited. False ownership is illegal. 3. Junior exhibitors are expected to care for, groom, and exhibit their own animals while at the Sonoma County Fair.
