3 STATE OF NEW YORK Department of Agriculture and Markets Albany, New York TO: ALL FAIR SECRETARIES Exhibitors at each fair should be well aware of the procedures for removal of exhibits from your fairgrounds. These procedures should be incorporated within your premium books Each person that visits your fair is entitled to view all exhibits. As a general rule, no exhibit should be released prior to 8:30pm the last day of your fair. Since the Department of Agriculture and Markets is responsible for reimbursement of certain premiums, we have a responsibility to regulate exhibits receiving these premiums. Any exhibit removed early, without your approval, will not be eligible t0 receive premium money, or ribbons. Exhibits removed early for entry in the State Fair will be eligible for premium reimbursement only if you have granted the exhibitor permission for early removal.

5 The Animal Health Requirements for the 2016 county fairs and the New York State Fair and other relevance documents are now available online. We will not be mailing the requirements to save printing and mailing expense. You can find the requirements by going to: and scrolling down the page until you find the section County and State Fair Information. The specific links are as follows: 2016 Fair Animal Health Requirements: Fair Interstate Health Requirements: Exhibitor Prefair Guidelines: Please forward this information to appropriate staff. The document is in PDF format which should facilitate publishing in your fair premium book. If you have difficulty with our website or have any issues with obtaining the documents you can contact me at or (518) You can also request a Microsoft Word version at my address. Notice on Poultry Exhibition: The decision has been made to allow poultry exhibits at fairs for the 2016 fair season. Please be aware that this decision is subject to change if there is a significant highly pathogenic avian influenza event in New York or elsewhere in the country. Many fairs came up with alternative programs in response to the 2015 ban. It is suggested that contingency plans be in place in case if it becomes necessary to cancel the poultry shows. For 2016 llama and alpacas must now be identified by microchip or official eartag. Drawings and photographs are no longer acceptable. Also a section of Prefair Exhibitor Guidelines has been added at the end of the requirements and is also available as a separate document for easy distribution. The purpose of this section is to help guide the exhibitors through the process of meeting the fair requirements and hopefully avoid issues at the fair. The Department will supply tags and pliers to veterinarians and Cooperative Extension offices that have a need to identify swine going to fairs. We also have plastic official eartags for cattle that can be supplied to CCE for cattle projects. The summary of interstate health requirements is also available on the website. You may wish to supply this information to your out of state exhibitors including petting zoos, rodeos, racing pigs, circuses, etc. to help avoid problems at fair time. You will also find a listing for poultry pullorum clinics that will be updated as the information is available. Representatives of the Division of Animal Industry will be in contact with their assigned fairs to review these requirements and address any concerns prior to the fair. Questions can also be directed to our office at (518) or james.gray@agriculture.ny.gov 5
