No adult entries will be accepted. • I n d o o r e n t r i e s a re limited to five per child. Those entering in the 4H section are not subject to the five-entry limit. • You may choose to stall at your trailer rather than in the barn. You need to let your superintendent know if this is your plan. • A certificate of veter- inary inspection must be shown to your superinten- dent before unloading. • Face masks are required in the livestock barn and the indoor exhibit building. • There will be hand- washing stations and hand sanitizer throughout the barn.
