Campbell County Fair Board requires W‑9 for exhibitors over $2,000, approves youth livestock eligibility rules
Summary
The Campbell County Fair Board adopted a General Fair Book requirement that exhibitors earning more than $2,000 in premiums must submit a W‑9. The board also approved several youth livestock eligibility and weigh‑in rules ahead of the 2026 fair.
The Campbell County Fair Board on April 21 adopted a General Fair Book change requiring any exhibitor earning more than $2,000 in premiums to provide a Social Security Number or Federal Taxpayer Identification Number and complete a W‑9 before a premium check is released.
"Each exhibitor and contestant MUST provide a personal Social Security Number or Federal Taxpayer Identification Number (for Partnerships and other Organizations). Any exhibitor earning over $2,000 in premiums must fill out a W-9 form before the check is released," the updated General #1 provision states. Marilyn Christensen moved to approve the policy and Jason Sinner seconded; the motion passed.
The board also approved Youth Livestock #1 clarifying age eligibility — 4‑H and FFA members 18 years and younger as of Jan. 1 of the current year may show and be eligible to sell; FFA members older than 19 may show in breeding and market classes — and Youth Livestock #2, which grants the weigh‑in committee authority over chute/scale operation and allows the committee to include superintendents, Fair Board members, Youth Livestock Sale representatives, clerks and/or brand inspectors.
Board members discussed an initial broader motion that lacked a second and therefore died before the successful motion to adopt the narrower set of policies. The changes take effect as written in the Fair Book updates approved by the board.
