At a show we pay to rent the facility, we have complete control over our area and we are the only one's using it. At FAIR we are guests of the fair, we are an exhibit, one of many, that helps them draw the public in to "see the fair" We don't have any control over the arenas or space we use, we aren't the only exhibit using the arenas We are told when the arenas are ours to use and when they are going to be used by other exhibits. We may lose stalls to other exhibits Showmanship is mandatory We always follow the fair rules and leave things better than we found them As with every project at the fair this is our State Qualifying Event This means the reason for this event is to qualify our Intermediate and Senior 4-H members and to prepare them to compete at the P uyallup Fair in September Our decisions are made with all of these points in mind We will be playing music, this will not be adjusted individually, get your horses used to it now (it's fair, music in the barn and classes will be one of the quietest sounds there) Having music is better than a quiet arena with sudden loud sounds ​ CAMPERVILLE If your staying in "camperville" (the south camping field next to the horse barn gate) you'll need to fill out the Camperville Form above, return it to the Enumclaw Expo and pay for your spot. This is an agreement between you and the Expo, the horse program is not involved. ​ ​ FAIR TIC KETS If you're only showing during the Performance Section you will NOT need to purchase fair tickets, you'll only need them for the Gaming Section. Link to the pdf order form is on a teal button above. Prices are different for 4-H members than the normal public. You can purchase them through your club or directly from the Expo office. ​ ​ FAIR CLOTHING Clothing store has closed. ​ ​ STATE TEAMS State teams are for Intermediate and Senior 4-H members only. We will be having a State Team Meeting for each section during that section at Fair. Performance @8pm 7-11, Gaming @8pm 7-13. You can pick up a packet to fill out in the horse barn office. You will need to turn in your completed packet to the horse barn office prior to the end of your section. This is not a promise of team eligibility, we will be following the State Team qualification listed in the Rule book. Contact Sheilla Hagedorn if you have any questions. ​ ​ PREMIUM CLASS Y ou'll be asked to select a Premium Class. This is one class other than Showmanship that you think you'll do the best in. The Fair pays you for premium points, each danish ribbon has a point value (blue, red, white). So if you get a Blue in Showmanship and a Red in your premium class then the points from those 2 ribbons are added up and help figure your premium money that will be sent out after fair. Premium classes can't be changed once showing at the fair has started. Versatility Versatility is a class that was very popular several years ago and we thought y'all would like to have it offered again. You need to be able to ride english and western. You enter the class in western tack and clothing You participate in a Stock Seat Equitation rail class When directed you halt along the rail and dismount Your "helper" enters the arena with a wheelbarrow filled with your english tack You and your helper take off the western tack, place in wheelbarrow and put the english tack on You switch to english clothing, no you don't change in front of everyone, this is where things get creative ​ Tuck your western pants into your hunt boots ​ Have your english shirt under your western shirt Have your hunt coat and boots waiting in the wheelbarrow Your helper takes the wheelbarrow back out with your western stuff Then you get back on your horse and finish the rail class english ​ OPEN CLASS We are welcoming Open Class youth to participate in the King County Fair Equine Exhibit!
