The applicant shall provide the department with the name, location, and dates of the particular exhibition for which he is seeking an exhibition license.

(b)    A dealer must hold a valid dealer's license pursuant to this section to be issued an exhibition license. Exhibition licenses are valid for a period not to exceed ten consecutive days, must be prominently displayed at the exhibition site, apply to only the licensee, and may not be transferred to another dealer or exhibition location.
