With a new location and multiple barns, penning by state and deciding who pens in which barn is not feasible. The unloading process will be similar to the process used at The Exposition in Indianapolis in 2024 and 2025. Junior exhibitors will be penned in the Fall Creek Pavillion (Swine barn) and Blue Ribbon Pavillion (Sheep barn), similar to The Exposition in 2025. Exhibitors will be allowed one (1) pig per pen in the Fall Creek Pavillion (swine barn) and two (2) pigs per pen in the Blue Ribbon Pavillion (sheep barn).
Open show exhibitors will also be penned in the Blue Ribbon Pavillion (sheep barn).
