1.__Payment of entry fee.__A person who enters an animal or
article in a competition for premiums offered by a licensee must

regulations of the licensee, as long as the rules and regulations
are not in conflict with the laws of the State or rules adopted
in accordance with the laws of the State.

 
2.__Lien for failure to pay. When an entry fee is not paid as
required under subsection 1, a lien is created upon an animal or
article to secure payment with costs.__The lien may be enforced
