Pet Policy
ALMFF ANIMAL POLICY
As much as we love our critters, our current insurance will NOT allow pets to be brought in by the public.
Because of the great variety of performing animals in the Festival, the presence of pets could be a danger to all. For instance, an aggressive barking dog could cause a war horse to shy or bolt.
No pets are allowed to be brought into the faire by visitors. Guide dogs and other bona fide service animals however, are always welcome.

SERVICE ANIMAL POLICY
ALMFF abides by the federal law(s) about Service Animal access, specifically the 2010 revisions to the ADA.
FROM the ADA Guidelines
Are emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals considered service animals under the ADA?
A. No. These terms are used to describe animals that provide comfort just by being with a person. Because they have not been trained to perform a specific job or task, they do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. However, some State or local governments have laws that allow people to take emotional support animals into public places. You may check with your State and local government agencies to find out about these laws.
Please be prepared to answer questions about tasks performed by your Service Animal.
What questions can a covered entity's employees ask to determine if a dog is a service animal?
A. In situations where it is not obvious that the dog is a service animal, staff may ask only two specific questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person’s disability.
Visitors bringing service animals onsite MUST:
- Provide animal's certification badge, vaccination record, and animal must be wearing its vest
- Keep animals leashed (no longer than six feet) and under your direct physical control at all times
- Bring your own baggies and clean up if your animal evacuates onsite
- Visibly have water available for your animal
WORKING ANIMAL POLICY
Our performers, vendors, and cast may have their animals onsite (they are classed as working animals for faire) as long as the rules for such are followed to the letter. Since this is an issue that could cause litigation for faire there will be NO second chances.
If your animal exhibits any aggressive behavior (including barking and growling) you must take them off site immediately.
All animals must be leashed at all times (leash no longer than 6 feet).
You must have visible water available for your animal.
You must pick up if your animal evacuates onsite. (have your own baggies and be ready to prove that you have them)
Vendors and staff must walk their critters in the parking area and are still responsible for cleaning up behind them.
ALL ANIMALS MUST BE UNDER YOUR DIRECT PHYSICAL CONTROL AND LEASHED AT ALL TIMES!
If you are found in violation of the rules you will have to remove your animal IMMMEDIATELY without protest.
Failure to follow this policy will result in the expulsion of your animal from faire. Argument will result in YOUR expulsion from faire with no refund of your fees.
