Livestock Pen Deposit

There is a $25 per pen deposit payable to the Jr. Livestock Committee.  So if you have a pen for goats, pigs, and a steer, the deposit is $75.  You will get this deposit back after you have cleaned all of your pens at the end of the fair.  Rabbits and chickens will only need to pay $25 per species unless you have both, then it is $50.  This fee is not to penalize anyone, only to make sure your pens are cleaned!
