PASSES
As always, ENMSF continues to make changes in hopes of
bettering your showing experience. For the 2021 season
we will be selling parking passes for Gate 6 (Livestock
Gate). This pass will be the ONLY way your vehicle is
permitted through Gate 6 Atkinson Gate during public
hours of the fair. As always, we do not want to prevent
any family from watching a child show. The gates will be
open during the day for families to come and go. Gate
security will begin turning away non-permitted vehicles at
3:30 p.m. daily. You must purchase parking passes
through your online entry form. The passes will be $25 for
one, $40 for two. These passes must accompany an animal
entry and will not be sold to the general public. Passes
must be adhered to the vehicle.
