All workers must have a MERCHANT/CONCESSIONAIRE WORKER PASS (Each Merchant/Concessionaire space will get two free workers passes for the week) upon entering the grounds on the opening day of the Fair and every day thereafter.

Please do not leave you vehicle in the roadway by your stand. Any vehicles illegally parked, standing in the fire lanes or any unauthorized area, will be towed at the owners expense.
