Typically the Fairgrounds has a no dogs (except for licensed service animals) policy during large public events. For this reason, we would ask you to consider leaving your dog/pet at home. However the Fairgrounds has allowed us, as a renter of the facility, a little wiggle room on the policy as we see fit for our event and you will not be turned away at our event if you show up with your dog. Please note other events at the Fairgrounds, including the County Fair, have a strict no dogs policy and you may be turned away. At the heart of the typical fairgrounds policy is protecting animals which are all inspected and vet-checked before entering the grounds during events such as the County Fair.
