FARM SCIENCE REVIEW

Special Needs Vehicles

Rules and Regulations for 2008 FSR

 PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!!!

NEW FOR 2008!!!!! Golf cart, electric scooter, segway or approved disabled unit will be the only mode of transportation allowed for the 2008 FSR visitor. No other types of vehicles will be allowed into the FSR exhibit area.

As the Farm Science is a pedestrian show, it is important to limit the use of golf cars to those individuals who require this type of vehicle to use at the show. An expressed need for the use of a special need vehicle should be apparent, whether the vehicle is rented or brought by the individual. It is also the policy of the Farm Science Review to limit all vehicular traffic inside the exhibit area to a minimum and to maintain the area as a primary pedestrian facility. 

 The use of a motorized vehicle is a privilege provided to the user.  The abuse of this privilege will result in the revoking of the issued Special Needs Vehicle Permit and the removal from the grounds of the Molly Caren Ag Center of the vehicle and the individual(s) to whom the Permit was issued.  In such cases, no refunds of any collected fees shall be granted.

 The following are the Rules and Regulations for permitting Special Needs Vehicles during the Farm Science Review.
