MARY’S CLEAN CUTS
To everyone in the Greater Elizabethtown Area,
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to the 48th annual Elizabethtown Fair. Sadly, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 fair was unable to be held. We are excited to return in 2021!! Our fair serves as a showcase for local talent and reminds us of the agricultural heritage of Lancaster County. It is a place for families and friends to gather and celebrate all the best in our community. It seems fitting that this year's theme is "An American Tradition," as this is what the fair has come to represent for those who visit each year.
Forty-eight years ago, we had our first fair in the Elizabethtown Community Park. The first year we had one exhibit tent for competitive exhibits, one food stand and a few carnival rides. There were no livestock or commercial vendors, no contests and no entertainment. Forty-eight years later we have grown to over 3,000 competitive exhibits, forty food stands, over 150 commercial exhibitors, and over 800 livestock. We have added entertainment on two stages and daily contests.
We offer something for everyone from the Baby Photo Contest to Senior Citizens' Day. The Petting Zoo, manned by over 100 volunteers, is a very popular attraction for all ages. We offer a place for youth to come together to show their livestock.
As you may be aware, the fair operates with great cooperation from the Elizabethtown Area School District and the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church, as the fairgrounds are located on school property and parking is offered on church property. The church also provides an area for Competitive Exhibits to be displayed and a room for our monthly Board Meetings. I would like to thank the Elizabethtown Area School District and the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church for being part of the fair.
On behalf of the Elizabethtown Fair Board, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our supporters, including volunteers, sponsors, vendors and patrons. Without the tremendous community support we receive, the Elizabethtown Fair would not exist. The Elizabethtown Fair has continued to grow and serve as a place for us to gather as a community to exhibit, compete, and to entertain and fellowship together. We have successfully been able to bring together agriculture, business, church and education in a great atmosphere.
Thanks for your support and SEE YOU AT THE FAIR!
Kenneth D. Myer, President

2. The Fair management reserves the right to amend and/or add to these Rules and Regulations as its judgments may determine.
3. Reasonable care will be taken to protect all exhibits on display from injury and damage, but the Fair is not in any way to be held responsible for accidents, loss or damage by water, fire, theft, or otherwise, whatever may be the cause or extent of the damage or loss.
4. It shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor to make known the proper name of the article or breed of livestock he is entering. Any item entered improperly may be disqualified, but the judges will mark the correct name on the entry tag for the benefit of the owner so that the same mistake in entering need not be made a second time.
5. Chairpersons of each department reserve the right to refuse any entry. Furthermore, the chairpersons reserve the right to bar from competition animals and/or products of decidedly inferior quality and those not possessing sufficient merit to warrant recognition. Chairpersons may limit the number of entries per exhibitor.
6. During judging, buildings, except livestock arenas, are to be closed to everyone except Fair officials, judges, Pennsylvania Fair Fund officials and necessary attendants. No exhibitor or his agent shall communicate with the judge during judging except to answer questions proposed by the judges. Any exhibitor interfering with the judges shall forfeit any premium to which he would otherwise be entitled.
7. Premiums, as listed, may be given for meritorious exhibits. In cases where there is no competition, judges may give an award such as they deem the exhibit is worthy to receive. The same rule applies where there are fewer entries in any class than the number of premiums offered. The judges may, at their discretion, award a ribbon or rosette.
8. The Fair management may, at any time, order the removal of any exhibit or part of exhibit in bad condition, sick or unruly. The chairpersons must notify exhibitors of any exhibits that have become unfit. After having done so the chairperson may dispose of the exhibit at his discretion.
