department in case of meat animal sales or other special classes,

if requested before the beginning of the fair. In other hardship

cases, approval may be granted by the local fair. Exhibits in dog

county or district fair may establish special classes where none are

specified under subch. IV. Special classes may include classes for

departments. Premiums for special classes created under this subsection

shall be equal to premiums for comparable classes established

in the same department under subch. IV.
