- Engage in the designated activity (No cell phones).
- Converse/ interact with the public.
- The adult in charge/ chaperone will send you home for inappropriate behavior.
- If you can't make an appearance, you'll need to let the Advisor or the Chaperone oversee that day's activity.*

- All Ambassadors must arrive at appearances on time and ready to begin on time!
- This is a NO-DRAMA zone! You don't have to like each other but must be friendly and polite. You are representing the Fair.

Once the Court is established, there will be outings and events that they will attend, where they will then be judged on their personality and friendliness to the public. This judging shall be completed by independent judges with input from chaperones, Fair Board Members, and the Court Advisor (providing they are not a parent/ guardian/ leader of a youth in the current year's competition). The Ambassador with the best score will be crowned the Royal Ambassador on Thursday evening of the Pierce County Fair on the main stage.
