Could you speak to the exhibition management and see if they would allow 
you to fence off a small area where the Killdeer normally stay?  Just 
some posts and a rope might be enough.  Seems like some attempt to save 
the chicks should be made.

             Normally a pair of killdeer nest on the grounds and the
            young are at the point where they can fly, so usually this
            is not a problem.  This is not the case this year.  The pair
            have four young and they would need a week or a week and a
            half yet before flight.  I watched the one adult today with
            the four young.  Someone had two dogs and was throwing a
            ball for the dogs and the adult killdeer as you can imagine
            was freaking out.  She successfully led the young away from
            the dogs and had them by the road when I walked by.  The
            exhibition officially starts tomorrow and set-up is still
            ongoing.  It is in the area where the adult killdeer and
            young usually tend.  The parking area will be full where
            they could go when activity is on the grounds, but tomorrow
            that area will be occupied and there will be people activity
            all over the place.  I suspect the young will not make it
            through the week.  We shall see what happens though.  </span></font>
