***NOTICE***

The Marion Farm Exhibit Association reserves the right to require any animal shown in the fair to be subject to examination and/or testing, as deemed necessary, in order to determine if a foreign substance has been administered to an animal to alter its conformation, weight and/ or temperament or to test for bovine tuberculosis. Administering any such substance will be considered by the Fair Board to be fraud, which is subject to a penalty of up to $50,000 or imprisonment up to 5 years, or both if convicted.

By entering animals in this fair, you are agreeing to submit to any testing required. Failure to submit your animal for any testing will be cause for immediate disqualification. All monies earned will be forfeited, and exhibitor may be banned from future fair participation, as deemed necessary by the Marion Farm Exhibit Association.
