EXHIBITORS:
All animals must enter off Townline Lake Road. After they are checked in at the first gate, trailers with pigs should continue on to Fairlane and line up there. They will back in and unload at the south door in the hog end. The youth should bring their pig to the scale and the parent needs to get the trailer out of the way to keep things moving. Do not sit at the door waiting to weigh. All light weight hogs that are going back home need to load from the east door in front.

All other species will turn into the first gate and unload at the appropriate barn.

Campers can start to come in on Wednesday, July 17th. Camping packets are in the fair office and need to be picked up before you park your camper. Do not hook up to the electric before Saturday, July 20th or there will be an additional charge of $25 a day for electricity.

Livestock exhibitors if you want to come in and decorate you can do so this Thursday, Friday or Saturday 9-8.

Friday 4:30-7:00 is Youth Home Arts judging.

Large animal weigh times are:

Pigs 8:00 -12:00
Beef 12:00 -1:00
Sheep 1:00 -2:00

Small animal check in is from 8:00 - 2:00. Market goats weigh in at the T-Barn at 2:30pm.

Clare County Fair Exhibitors:
As of right now we are following the MDARD policies that are required and taking additional steps in biosecurity. We do not require an isolation period for animals that participate in other shows, exhibitions and expositions at this time. However, we do want the exhibitors to beware of the risk they take when participating in other shows, exhibitions and expositions.
If there is a health concern that arises from another show, exhibition or exposition, and MDARD puts a mandatory isolation period into place the board will meet to make a decision if a change needs to be made.
