— The Kandiyohi County Fair Association recognizes that the presence of gangs, gang activity, and gang affiliations can cause a disruption of, or interfere with fair activities and fair safety. Gang activity, identifiers, or membership is contrary to the mission of the Kandiyohi County Fair.
— Gang identifiers, which may change periodically, are signs, gestures, insignias, symbols, colors or combinations of colors, clothing, and wearing apparel or accessories which are intended to publicly demonstrate an affiliation of a student with a gang.
— Examples of gang identifiers include, but are not limited to: gang colors, tattoos, bandannas,“do-rags,” sweatbands, gang clothing, jewelry, emblems, badges, symbols, signs, 5 or 6 pointed stars, arrows, pitchforks, crowns, identifying numbers (i.e. 5, 6, 13, 14, 7-4, XIII, XIV), groups of names, initials, acronyms, playboy bunny insignia, a single glove, a heart with: wings, horns, tail, or any combination thereof, drama or theater masks, praying hands, martini glass, top hat, cane dollar sign, gang expressions (i.e. “amor de rey,” “all is well,” “all is one,” “mi vida loca,” “my crazy life,” “vato loco,” “crazy one,” “Folks,” “People,” “BOS,” “MOB,” “Free Larry {Larry Hoover-founder of the Gangster Disciples}, etc.), notches in eyebrows. The administration may add to the list of identifiers at any time.
— Any combination of clothing which, upon guidance from law enforcement agencies, commonly signifies gang identity, membership, or affiliation is prohibited.
— Public may not wear, or display, any gang identifiers while on fair property, or at fair-sponsored activities.
— Wearing pants below the waist line (sagging) is not allowed.
— Belt buckles with any initials are prohibited.
— Wearing an over-sized belt with one end hanging down is prohibited.
— Gang related hats, baseball type caps, or other gang related head gear may not be worn, nor worn in a tilted or cocked position,on fair property or at fair-sponsored activities. An official fair cap (approved by the association) representing the current fair of residence may be worn.
— NOTE: Gang members will wear the hat with the brim titled or cocked to one side showing affiliation to the tilted side.This may be done in the front or the back of the head. At times the brim may be straight forward or backwards but the entire hat may be tilted to one side. They also wear stocking caps in the same way, with an emblem or a patch as a replacement for the brim of a baseball cap. It is true that this has become a fashion trend, but it is important to remember that the trend came from the “Gang Culture” and still signifies affiliation with the gang culture as the kids want to appear “Gangster” looking.

The Kandiyohi County Fair Board adopted a “County Fair Tobacco Policy” on July 11, 2011 and revised
the policy on May1, 2012. Prohibiting tobacco use serves to protect the health, safety and welfare of ALL
fairgoers and animals at our county fair. Thank you for not using tobacco!

Tobacco use (in any form i.e. cigarettes, chew, snus, pipes, cigars, etc.) is prohibited in all enclosed
buildings, all entities which have a cover/top above them and within 20 feet of all entrances to these
buildings and entities inside the grounds of the Kandiyohi County Fair during the four day fair.

Designated Tobacco Free areas include:

• All enclosed buildings with walls and a roof and within 20 feet of the entrances

• An area where there is a large gathering of people and within 20 feet of the gathering
• Areas where live events are occurring (Lumberjack show, pig races, etc.) and within 20 feet
of the areas.

This tobacco policy applies to all employees, volunteers, independent contractors and members of the
general public while attending the Kandiyohi County Fair. The policy will be enforced by the Fair Board
with the assistance of the Kandiyohi County Drug Free Communities (DFC) Coalition and the Students
Working against Alcohol Tobacco and other drugs (SWAT) Teams. Peer enforcement is also encouraged.
Signs are posted throughout the fair to inform fair-goers of the tobacco policy.

Any person found violating this policy will be asked to refrain from tobacco use or face immediate removal
from the fair grounds and re-admittance will not be allowed that day.
