of bodily injury and property damage liability insurance. Additional
coverages may be required depending on exposure of risk.
6. If you do not have your own insurance you may obtain it under the

by filling out the enclosed application form and ATTACHING A CHECK (no
checks accepted after September 1) FOR $60.00 (plus $40.00 for every
additional location) PAYABLE TO: HAAS-WILKERSON-WOHLBERG INSURANCE
AGENCY. Do not include this payment in a check to the Central
Washington State Fair. To cover your insurance obligations under our
contract, return the white, canary, and pink copies of the insurance
application form and the check. Keep the goldenrod copy of insurance
form as evidence of coverage.
PASSES
Exhibitors will be provided a limited number of passes and a parking
sticker, at no cost, as a part of their contract. A limited number of
additional passes and parking stickers may be purchased by the Exhibitor
at an additional fee. These credentials are intended for people who
will be staffing the Exhibitor's contracted space and ARE NOT FOR
CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS.
Credentials may be picked up at the Admissions Window of the Shattuck
Office Building beginning Friday, September 18, by the Exhibitor or the
Exhibitor's authorized representative who must sign for these
credentials. NO CREDENTIALS WILL BE MAILED. Additional credentials may
be purchased after this date at the Admissions Window of the Shattuck
Office Building.
Passes must be in the possession of the Exhibitor and/or the Exhibitor's
employees in order to enter the fairgrounds once the Fair has officially

promotion during the Fair, nor will money be refunded for purchase of

identification badges at the Admissions Window of the Shattuck Office
Building after securing their Exhibitor passes. Photo I.D. badges serve

same day. Exhibitor's are encouraged to consider using photo I.D.
badges for their key personnel.

plus a fee, for photo identification badges, or, simply pay a flat fee
