The light source already in the stalls\tack rooms is the only one approved. You may not change, adjust, revamp, or in any way modify any switch, fixture or electrical unit. All electrical work is done by a licensed electrician employed by the Fairgrounds. If you see a problem or a malfunction, please contact the maintenance department or our office. Please restrict your storage to non-flammable/non-combustible materials. Non-cured hay or feed is especially dangerous. Areas must be kept clean and free of clutter.
