Help Support CattleToday:
It was stated plain as day in the rules. I do feel for the kids because their parents didn't read the rules. Now they want to blame everyone else. We have friends who didn't enter the state fair because of the requirement. If someone didn't know, that is because they didn't take the time to read it. It was announced at our 4-H meetings, at our county council meetings. We have had ours for months and ended up not using it. http://www.coloradostatefair.com/upload ... 070207.pdf
it is on page 4 rule 7 of the premium book.
That is probably not the answer you all wanted to hear but that is how I feel about it.

I think the disagreement came up with the wording in the rules. It doesn't state specifically that the owner has to have their own premises ID, just that you list one. In common sense world, I would assume they want you to have your own. Our county requires you to have one, I think we're currently the only county in Colorado with that requirement. In lawyerspeak world, they have a valid argument. I think since this was the first year for that requirement, they should have let them sell, and clarified it for next year.
