    Farmer;
    A golf cart is a golf cart. No determination by how many wheels.
    Policy it that any vehicle that has a state license registration 
classification must be registered and insured. Golf carts fill in this 
class, lawn tractors and butt buggies do not. Any vehicle for handicapp 
persons must be registered and display a handicap sticker. These may operate 
in the craft vendor area, but only when the qualifying person is aboard. 
There is a fee to register golf carts, ask me later on this. No gator type 
vehicles are allowed on the show grounds. Lawn tractors and butt buggies are 
considered exhibit vehicles and may be registered and operated as such, thus 
qualifying under club membership insurance. To operate on the show grounds 
you will need to display a permit to enter on the show grounds, which is 
also the gate pass.

    These rules apply only to the show grounds. The campground has no 
restriction or registration for riding vehicles and they may be operated 
there and also driven into town if they meet the city requirements. Display 
a SMV emblem and you will never be bothered on side streets during daylight, 
but DO NOT operate on Meridian Street (U.S. 27). Lights are required for 
night operation anywhere.
