Read the current fair rules first

What to know

Save the packet issue date and the organizer's official contact. If a requirement is unclear, ask before paying an entry fee or arranging transport. Another family's paperwork may not apply to your animal.

Pennsylvania's 2026 exhibitor guidance asks owners to follow veterinarian vaccination recommendations and maintain vaccination and testing records. That is not a national list of required tests. Your veterinarian and event officials should settle the specific requirements. Keep copies accessible in transit and with the supervising adult.

Make the next step clear

1. 1Get the current official packet.
2. 2List each deadline and adult owner.
3. 3Match identification to the entry form.
4. 4Reconfirm arrival instructions before leaving.
