GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND DEFINITIONS

ATCP 160.01 DEFINITIONS, As used in this chapter:

(1) “Class” means a grouping in which exhibits may be entered, including an animal breed or age group for animal exhibits; a type

of produce, crop or food; or specific age, age group or educational grade level of exhibitor.

(2) “Department,” as it relates to the organizational structure of a fair, means an animal species, production group, or other principal

classification of exhibits. As used in any other context, “department” means the State of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.

(3) “Division” means one of three exhibitor group classifications for a fair and is limited to junior division, open division and senior

citizens’ division.

(4) “Lot” or “lot number” means the numerical designation assigned by a local fair for a specific category of exhibits within a class.

(5) “Premium” means a monetary prize that a county or district fair awards to an exhibitor after judging all competing exhibits in the

class to which the premium pertains.

 

ATCP 160.02 PREMIUM REQUIREMENTS.

(1) General.

(a) The state aid authorized by s. 93.23(1), Stats., may be paid only on net premiums, which consist of total premiums paid less total entry fees received. The department may withhold state premium aid from any fair which does not enforce the animal health provisions required under ch. ATCP 10 for all classes of livestock exhibited at the fair.

State aid will be paid only on premiums actually paid by bank check or draft.

(b) No deductions may be made from premium money won by an exhibitor. Premiums may, however, be withheld where exhibition

rules established by the fair association are violated. A written statement of violation shall be submitted to the department to justify

action taken by a local fair.

(c) Premiums offered shall be definite in amount. No decrease or increase in published premiums may be made because of the financial condition or the organization or for any other reason.

(d) State aid may be paid on no more than 2 premiums awarded an exhibitor under one premium or lot number in open division individual livestock classes, except poultry and rabbits, and no more than one premium in all other classes, including poultry and rabbits.

(e) No county or district fair may receive state aid for a premium awarded to any exhibitor in the open division if that exhibitor entered

the same exhibit in the junior division at the same county or district fair. This paragraph does not apply if the exhibit was entered in the junior division only as part of a herd group, carcass class or performance class.

(f) No state aid will be paid on the cost of ribbons, cups, trophy prizes or entertainment contests.

(2) Premium Lists.

(a) Premiums for which state aid is requested by county and district fairs shall conform with the uniform premium list and other

requirements set forth in these rules. Fairs requesting state aid for net premiums shall submit to the department a printed copy of the premium list used at the fair, as required under s. ATCP 160.92(3)(c).

(b) The officers of each fair shall mail a copy of the premium list to other associations, societies, or boards conducting a fair in Wisconsin upon request.

(c) Section ATCP 160.01 through 160.07 and 160.91 shall be published in premium books used by a fair for which state aid is

requested.

(3) Entry Fees.

(a) A county of district fair may charge an exhibitor an entry fee. The entry fee may not exceed 10% of the sum of all premiums offered to exhibitors in the same class for which the entry fee is charged.

Stall rents shall not exceed $1.50 per single stall or animal or $3.00 per box stall for horses; $1.00 per single stall or animal or $2.00 per box stall for cattle; or 50¢ per animal or $2.00 per pen for swine, goats and sheep.

more than one time or at more than one location during the calendar year.

(b) Except as provided under par. (c), the department may not pay state aid for a fair having split dates unless the department gives

advance written approval for a split fair. The department may approve split fair dates only if the fair organization justifies the split dates based on extreme hardship. If the department approves split dates, all blue ribbon winners shall repeat their demonstrations or exhibits at the regular fair dates unless the department grants a hardship exemption.

An exhibitor may use audio-visual media, still photography or an educational display to repeat a demonstration or exhibit.
