**2011 Ionia Free Fair Campground Guidelines and Rules**

Please read carefully.

1. All Campers MUST check in with the campground supervisor upon arrival. Campground supervisor has the final say on placement of campers. Any campers not parked in the proper location, as assigned by the campground supervisor, will be subject to having their trailer/camper towed at their own expense. Owners will hold the Ionia Free Fair harmless for any damage sustained to their trailer/camper while being towed.
2. One vehicle is permitted per campsite. No parking passes may be exchanged for a campground-parking pass. Any campsite with more than one vehicle on site will have the additional cars towed at the owner's expense. Owners will hold the Ionia Free Fair harmless for any damage incurred during towing.
3. The Campground Supervisor will be on the grounds after 10:00am Saturday, July 16th for arrival and parking of campers. Thereafter, the Campground Supervisor will park campers daily after 4:00pm. If campers come early and park in the wrong site, their camper will be removed at their expense. NO CAMPERS WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARK UNTIL SATURDAY, JULY 16TH, AFTER 10:00am. NO EXCEPTIONS!!
