Any rabbit disqualified for unfit show quality during check-in will be immediately dismissed from the CSF grounds and entry fees will not be refunded. All rabbits will be subject to examination by a representative of the state veterinarian s office upon entry and during the fair. Any rabbit showing evidence of infectious, contagious or communicable diseases may be immediately withdrawn from the fair and/or held in quarantine at owner s risk and expense until properly treated and recovered, or until properly released to owner s premises following treatment.

An exhibitor, who arrives with a rabbit that will not be a substitute, will be required to pay a double entry fee per rabbit. Example: Entry form states Black Mini Rex Senior Buck.

Only Colorado State Fair appointed carriers and/or Small Animal Department personnel will be permitted to carry rabbits to and from the judging tables during the CSF Premium Show. An exhibitor may be asked to carry their own rabbit to and from the show table if a rabbit is being unruly or confrontational toward a CSF Rabbit Carrier.
