All exhibitors will be will be required to turn in a COVID-19 Waiver Form with contact tracing information for every person attending from their farm. This form must be turned in before animals are vet checked.
Once the waiver and contact tracing forms are turned in and verified, every exhibitor will receive a colored wristband. This colored wristband will get exhibitors into the barn once vet check is completed. No one will be allowed in barn without a wristband. This wristband must stay on all week and will be monitored by the KEC staff.
Once animals have cleared vet check, exhibitors will proceed through Lot J for the West Wing or Lot K for the Pavilion (stalling location will be indicated on the vet check card) and unload. To avoid unnecessary contact at unloading locations, exhibitors should take no more than 45 minutes to unload animals after which time they will be asked to move their truck and trailer to allow other exhibitors to unload animals from hot trailers. After unloading, trailers should be parked in Lot K.
Exhibitors are not limited on unload time for tack and feed once they have moved their trailers to accommodate other exhibitors. Exhibitors should stay in vehicles while waiting to unload.
Parking passes will be distributed at check in. Exhibitors will need to explain that they are attending the ADGA National Show and have not yet obtained their parking pass. One pass will be given to each herd unit attending. Additional parking passes available for purchase at check in. KEC parking staff will be instructed that anyone not wearing a wristband will not be allowed through the gates.
