NOTE: Due to a limited number of camping sites, camping qualifications for volunteers is required. As an equine event, Midwest Horse Fair has a commitment to looking out for the safety and care of animals onsite as a first priority. This includes providing people with horses onsite the option to camp which allows them to provide around the clock care and monitoring of their animals. It is with the safety and concern for these animals that we require volunteers wishing to camp to have three shifts scheduled on multiple days Friday - Sunday. The camping application becomes available December 9th.
