A FEW REMINDERS:
NO ONE can come in prior to 6AM on Wednesday, May 8!! You will be fined and it's not cheap!! No vehicles without a trailer attached will be permitted behind the Gilligan on Wednesday. There will be Franklin Co. Deputies directing you. Limit your unloading time to 30 minutes. DO NOT BLOCK ANYONE IN! It's rude and inconsiderate!
SHOW OFFICE: does not open until 9AM on Wed. and we do not start pony measuring until 9AM. The lines will be long so be sure that you know your Exhibitor back number (it's on your confirmation). Office hours are in the Showbill.
BIG REMINDERS: There is no lunging in the Coliseum or Cooper Arena, you risk being scratched with no refund. Do not throw trash in the manure bins and use the Sharps containers for any medical waste! Do not ride your horse, allow it to graze or walk thru the grassy areas of the Ohio Expo grounds, the grass has been treated and if caught you risk being fined. So stay off the grass!!
