    Just to clear up what Dave posted. Only restricted areas are the craft 
and food vendor areas. Carts may be operated in the display areas any time. 
Also any perimeter roads around the craft and food vendor areas.  Carts are 
allowed in the parts vendor areas, but we are planning some restrictions for 
operation and vehicle size. Lanes in parts area are alternating one way with 
signs posted and we have good help policing this.

    Golf carts can be operated on secondary streets in town, but not main 
streets that are state highways. SMV emblems are required to operate on city 
streets and for night operation must have 2 operating head lights and at 
least 1 tail light.

    For clarity, I have only used the term (Golf Cart) to include all 
personal riding vehicles that meet our regulations as to size and potential 
use. No Gator type vehicles will be allowed this year. Riding lawn mowers 
and garden tractors are allowed, but must have mower decks removed Still 
have a few Chore Masters and special built butt buggies to keep us 
entertained. . No bicycles or motorcycles allowed on show ground, but may be 
used in the campground and access to downtown.

    You must provide proof of insurance to obtain the riding vehicle pass.

        Wow, I sure run on almost like a director. Don't know of anything I 
missed.

Hi Farmer, Last year at Portland you needed a H’capped permit from THE SHOW 
in order operate a cart in the exhibitor area during the “show hours”. (I 
think that was from 9-5.) To get that permit an individual needed a H’capped 
parking permit from their state and a letter of “need” from their doctor. 
Gene is a Director, so I believe he would know if those regulations have 
been changed for this year.

PS, Carts are OK in the sale area and before/after hours anytime.
