Open Show Guidelines

Registering

We do not require that early entries be made for Paisley fair.  On fair day, send a representative to the Beef or Dairy Registration Desk, located near the ring.   You will need your Livestock Entry & Insurance Form completed for the classes you plan to enter.  We require proof that you are covered for 1 Million Dollars in Liability Insurance prior to exhibiting

If you are a new cattle exhibitor at Paisley Fair, you will be required to pay $10.00 membership fee and you will be given an exhibitor number.   If you exhibited the previous year, won prize money, then likely the membership fee was deducted from your prize money cheque toward membership for this year.   As a member you should have received your Exhibitor Prize Book in advance with your exhibitor number attached to the book.  

Your Exhibitor Number will be put on a show card to use when in the ring to identify your cattle.

We ask that you follow the program and be ready to enter your class when called.   This helps to ensure the day runs smoothly and on time.

• All prize money will be mailed to exhibitors for classes in the Open Show.
