General Rules

Please read the Rules and Regulations governing the Maple Festival Fair and if there are any questions, please contact Shawn Buterbaugh in the Maple Festival Office (814-634-0213) or Bonnie Foxwell (814-634-8175). They will be glad to assist you.

The Maple Festival Board cannot deviate from the Rules and Regulations. The Rules and Regulations are based upon the State Premium Guideline Book published by the Agriculture Fair Program, Department of Agriculture, and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A copy is available for review in the Maple Festival Office. Entries in the Premium List are only ones that can be judged. Entries not complying will be rejected, regardless of merit. However, items for exhibition only will be accepted. In cases where there is no competition, judges may give an award such as they deem the exhibit worthy to receive. All judging is final and closed to the public.

All exhibits must be made or grown by the exhibitor during the time period since the last Maple Festival and must be entered in the name of the person making or producing the exhibit.

Reasonable care will be taken to protect all exhibits on display from all injury and damage. But the Maple Festival is not, in any way, responsible for accidents, loss or damage by water, fire, theft, or otherwise, what ever may be the cause or extent of the damage or loss. All articles on exhibition must be respected as private property and any persons detected destroying them or injuring them will be dealt with according to law.
