Early Iron Festival Guidelines

Please help everyone have a safe and enjoyable Early Iron weekend by following these simple guidelines for the show:

Registration is open ONLY to 1984 and earlier.

All throughout the weekend we have several different giveaways and awards. You MUST be present to win.

For spectator safety, there is no driving around within the show lots. Once you enter the show, our Event Staff will direct you to a parking spot. Please park and remain parked during the show hours (10am to 4pm), unless otherwise asked to do so by event staff.  You may leave the show at the end of the day.

If you want to park together, you must arrive together.

Please keep your speed below 5mph in all show areas and be very aware of pedestrians around you.

For everyone's safety and comfort, all dogs or other pets must be on a lease at all times. Please don’t bring your dog to the Friday Night Party.

Failure to comply with these guidelines or instructions given by Event Staff may result in your ejection from the event.
