Annual Membership Meeting
Saturday, December 5, 2015
The Santa Cruz County Fair & Rodeo Association’s annual membership meeting will be held on Saturday December 5,
2015 at 5:00 PM. The membership base is where we draw our volunteers from; volunteers are necessary for the success
of our events. Remember the Fairgrounds is owned and operated by its membership, not by Santa Cruz County.
Inserted, you will find the two-sided membership form. On the front is the membership form. We would like to know
your area of interests for volunteer purposes. On the back, you will find an Equine Activity Waiver for those members
who wish to use the facilities when organized activities are not being held. Please note, only current and honorary
members are eligible to vote. New members who joined after Oct 1, 2015 for the 2016 year may not vote until 2016.

EQUINE ACTIVITY
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISK AND RELEASE
This Equine Activity Acknowledgement of Risk and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) is provided in conjunction
with the undersigned’s membership, either individually, collectively or as a parent or guardian of a minor child covered
by the membership, hereinafter, the “Member”) in the Santa Cruz County Fair and Rodeo Association, Inc. (“SCCFRA”).
The Member makes the following declarations, representations, certifications, waivers and releases with regard to any
equine activity taking place on the Sonoita Fairgrounds (the “Premises”) whether sponsored directly by the SCCFRA or
any other entity to which the Premises may have been rented or leased or involving Member’s personal use of the
Premises (the “Activity”):
I am fully aware that horseback riding and its associated activities entail risks or injury or death to participants and
spectators alike. I clearly understand that the Activity in which I am participating may result in my injury or death or
injury or death to others as a result of my actions or failure to act. I acknowledge that my participation is purely
voluntary. I likewise acknowledge that I am responsible for the direction and control of any equine under my control
and for the selection and use of equine equipment for the Activity.
I certify that I am fully able to participate in the Activity and that the SCCFRA has no responsibility and assumes no
liability for any physical, mental or emotional impairment on my part, whether know or unknown either to me or the
SCCFRA, that might be a cause of, or contributory factor to any injury that I might sustain, or which might be sustained
by others as a result of my actions or failure to act, while participating in the Activity.
I expressly agree to accept and assume all responsibility for the risks associated with the Activity, whether or not
specifically identified prior to or during the Activity. I further acknowledge and agree that the SCCFRA has no
responsibility to specifically identify any such risks except to the extent the SCCFRA knows that the risks involve
hazardous conditions existing on the Premises that is under its control during the Activity.
I assume full responsibility for myself, my horse, my minor children and any other minors then under my care and control
and their horses, for bodily injury, death, loss of property and claims, costs and expenses arising there from as a result of
those risks inherent in the Activity or my or their own negligence actions or failure to act while participating in the
Activity.
Having given the foregoing representations, acknowledgments and waivers and agreeing that the SCCFRA has the right to
rely on the same, I voluntarily release, forever discharge and hold harmless the SCCFRA from any and all claims,
demands or causes of actions, including attorney fees and costs of maintaining or defending such actions that may be the
direct or indirect result of my participation in the Activity or the participation of any party on whose behalf I have
provided this Agreement.
I have read, understood and accepted the terms and conditions stated herein and acknowledge that this Agreement shall be
effective and binding against me, my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, estate and any minors accompanying me on
whose behalf I have signed the Agreement.
