All participants riding the rides must obey all rules set by Burton Brothers Amusements. This is for the safety of all involved. Burton Brothers Amusements is aptly named for the four sons of Roger and Janice Jessop Burton; Bradd, Benjamin, Bryce and Brent, who are all in business as owners with their parents. The 30 ride company carries a multitude of family games. Each member of the Burton family is also owner of independent ride and food services. The entire family has been raised in the carnival industry and are 5th generation concessionaires. The four Burton Brothers grew up on the family farm in Henry County, Indiana and were active in 4-H, as their parents were active 4-H leaders, providing a solid understanding of the rural aspects of county fairs and festivals. They all continued as adults in the concession business, buying independent rides until they combined all their knowledge into the carnival amusement ride service with a solid reputation. Our company is based on loyal, close family values and principles. Safety at Burton Brothers Amusements is a top priority. Prior to opening, each piece of equipment is carefully inspected by a skilled midway manager and a ride superintendent using an inspection checklist. Each winter, we work extensively repairing, repainting and refurbishing our equipment at our full service winter quarters facility in Shirley, Indiana. Each member of our family is certified NAARSO safety inspectors.

HAYWIRED Country With A Kick

Haywired is comprised of five very talented musicians that play today’s hottest newest style of country music. All five members hail from Ohio and can put on a heck of a show with their years of entertainment experience. This band was formed in 2011 with a dream and just a couple shows that year. What was to follow was that Haywired developed into more than just a group of guys in a band, to a group of guys that have become family. Haywired now travels to venues all around Northwest and West Central Ohio and soon to a town near you! MEET THE BAND Jarid Kohlrieser Jarid Kohlrieser is the lead singer and front man of the Country band Haywired. Born and raised in rural Northwest Ohio, he has been singing and entertaining since he was 8 years old. Since those early days of performing he has since played at many different venues from around

the area. Some of his biggest accomplishments were winning the Clear Channel T-102 Country Star Playoffs Contest in 2010, performing at the Ohio State Fair, and performing at the Ohio Fairs and Festivals Convention. With Jarid’s sweet clear sounding voice and high energy stage presence, he will be sure to get the crowd on their feet. Brian Mackenbach Brian Has been playing guitar since the age of 7 and has never stopped. Brian has a very diverse back ground in music, playing everything from heavy metal and 80 hair band rock to classic rock & country & everything in between. Brian also is very big into sound and guitar collecting. His influences range from Mark Knopfler and Brad Paisley to Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani and Dave Mustaine. Brian says the best part about playing is being on stage with the guys and doing something he loves

doing and seeing people enjoy it. Matt Rainsburg Matt Rainsburg plays both lead and rhythm guitars as well as doing backup vocals for Haywired. He has played in the Carolina’s for about 15 years with bands like The Golden Seal Root Band, 20 After 4, Train Wreck and a side project called Friends of Joe. His styles derive from classic rock, folk and alternative style with a touch of the blues. His biggest influences have always been Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page and a dream of one day being as good as Chet Atkins or Brad Paisley and he is well on his way. Matt is known to really get into the music and just let it fly off his fingers. Zach Whetstone Zach Whetstone is the bassist for Haywired. Zach has been in bands that have toured all over the US. Zach is comfortable whether laying down a solid country

run bassline, kicking it up with some rock or metal or slapping the funk out of his 8 string, yes 4 and 6 just wasn’t enough so now he’s got 8. When it comes to bass players there is nothing more you can ask for. His stage presence is amazing and his instrumental abilities are phenomenal. Zach is a fun guy to be on stage with and lays down a solid rockin bass line for the band. David Gregory David has been playing for the last 12 years but you’d think he’s played all his life after hearing him!! David comes from a rock genre and has been in bands all around the Cincinnati, Dayton, and Greenville areas. His biggest influences are Tommy Lee, Dave Ghroul, Chad Szeliga, and Lars Ulrich. David is originally from Cincy and he has travled the country and traveled the world. The favorite part about playing the drums, is playing in front of a crowd! It makes it that much sweeter!!

A band you can count on for great vocals and a variety of old and new country as well as classic and southern rock. While they may be new together, the three of them are legends in their own right – Rick Barker, Bobby Loague and Gary Wingett have been playing the music scene for a long time. They are from the Greater Dayton area and are crowd pleasers wherever they perform. Follow them on their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ TripleNickleBand

VENtRILOQUIST MIKE HEMMELGARN Mike has been fascinated with the art of ventriloquism since the age of eight and juggling since the age of sixteen. He went door-to-door selling newspaper subscriptions to earn enough money to purchase his first “dummy”, a hard wood puppet named “Bob”. Bob is now in retirement and Mike uses mostly sculpted foam and latex puppets. He first learned to juggle with tennis balls and has evolved to bowling balls, knives, machetes, torches and other ridiculous things! Finally, magic and balloon sculpting were incorporated to compliment one of the most unique acts in the business. Since graduating from Wright-State University in Dayton, OH. Mike has performed at thousands of Corporate Events, Schools, Libraries, Fairs & Festivals, and Theatres. Mike, his lovely (and very fortunate) wife, and three children happily reside in Springboro, OH.

They started picking their instruments at a young age, and by the time they turned 13 years old the twins formed their first group. At 14 years old they were performing most weekends. After graduating from high school, the two traveled the Midwest playing the hotel and resort circuit. After 8 years on the road, they came back to their hometown to own, operate, and perform in their nightclub, My Brother’s Place”, which they had

for 15 years. In 1998, the twins went back out on the road, and now average over 500 shows per year. They cover most of Ohio and surrounding states. Spittin’ Image are two of the most versatile, fun-loving, enthusiastic performers you’ve ever seen. With extensive and outstanding musical skills and a terrific variety of finetuned comedy routines, Spittin’ Image will surprise and delight your audience. Brian does most of the lead vocals and also adds the harmony to the sound. He is a wonderful guitar player and probably knows a million chords. Besides sequencing all the added background instrumentation ( drums, bass, piano, etc…), he is the emcee for the group. Blain is the oldest twin (by 26 minutes). He can play the heck out of his Gibson 8-string mandolin, but is equally at home on his custom made 5-string mandolin. When he’s not playing the mandolin he is playing his harmonicas or adding his vocal talents. He also has a love of doing pantomimes.

RUM RIVER BLEND Rum River Blend, based in Troy, Ohio bill themselves as ‘Unprofessional Entertainment’! The band takes its name from the Rum River that flows through Linda’s hometown of Milaca, Minnesota. They perform a blend of traditional bluegrass, folk, Gospel and children’s songs. The audience is encouraged to join in on the fun as kazoos, spoons, washboards, and various other noise making instruments are often passed out to the crowd. Linda Tatarian, the ‘leader of the band’ plays 5-string banjo and sings like a good Minnesotan should. Chris Tatarian plays rhythm guitar and sings back-up vocals in a California style that only he knows. Chris and Linda are the “roots” of Rum River Blend and have played together since 1992. After moving to Ohio in 2000, they have played with a variety of talented musicians. The bass beat for the band is provided by Mr. ’Smiling’ Bill Benning, playing acoustic/electric bass guitar. Bill plays with a flair developed over time playing a wide variety of musical types with many different bands. Mr. Carl Phillis joins us on fiddle. Carl has years of professional musical experience, having played with most bands and orchestras in the area at one time or another. He is the 1948 Ohio State Fiddle Champion, and is a professor of Bluegrass Fiddle Music at Sinclair College in Dayton. His fiddle playing brings a new level of energy and a host of new songs to the band. On special occasions, RRB is joined by Mark Acton with harmonious vocals and Mandolin. Put ‘em all together and the result is music that makes you want to tap your foot and sing along! Rum River Blend appears regularly at the Hotel Gallery in Tipp City, and the 2nd Street Public Market in Dayton. In addition, they play at various local events including the Troy Strawberry Festival, private parties, schools and retirement homes. Rum River Blend can be contacted by phone at: 937-440-9834. Rum River Blend produces and Hosts the Annual Tunes In The Trees Festival held at the Brukner Nature Center in Troy, OH.

The Miami County Agricultural Society and the Troy Foundation are delighted to announce on the evening of Sunday August 14, 2016 an all star line up of country talent. Chris Janson with special guest Carter Winter and introducing Jameson Rodgers are sure to bring you an evening of star studded entertainment. Electrifying Warner Bros. Records singer/songwriter Chris Janson made headlines when “his song “Buy Me A Boat” quickly landed at #1 Country chart and was certified platinum in January 2016. In addition, “Chris Janson” trended in the Top 10 as superstars Toby Keith, Brad Paisley and Nashville’s Charles “Chip” Esten where abuzz on Twitter about the catchy tune. A formidable songwriter in his own right, Janson co-wrote the song with Chris Dubois, who has penned many #1 songs. With undeniable charisma, Janson brings a bluecollar, working-class, boot-stomping hillbilly swagger to bear on every live performance, earning him opening slots for Florida Georgia Line, music

legends Merle Haggard and Hank Williams, Jr. The Perryville, Missouri, native first broke onto the music scene when he landed a year long, fourshow-a-day gig at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge on Nashville’s Lower Broadway Chris Janson has been nominated for three (3) Academy of Country Music awards including new Male Artist of the Year. Ohio’s own Carter Winter is becoming one of the most sought after talents in the Midwest and is gaining national recognition along the way. Known for his true natural country vocal tone, a creative writing style and an incredible work ethic, Carter is definitely an artist to watch. Carter is humbled and appreciative of all of his support as the number of his fans grows after each show. He has played with a number of major label artists, including most recently a sold out Rhett, White, and Blue show with 4,000+ attendees. Jameson Rodgers was born and raised in Batesville, MS. After a baseball career at Northwest Mississippi

Community College, Jameson Rodgers headed to University of Southern Mississippi where he developed a love for songwriting and performing at bars with a band named Silky Smooth. It wouldn’t take long before he moved to Nashville to pursue his dream and Combustion Atlas came knocking. Chris Van Belkom, Vice President of Combustion Music has said “Jameson impressed me not only as a gifted artist and songwriter but as a selfstarting manager of his own career. We’re excited to work with him and add to the relationships he’s been able to create for himself.

high school senior attending college to study agriculture. The Miami County Pomona Grange along with the Miami County Farm Bureau has operated the Dairy Bar during the fair since the mid 1950’s to promote dairy products including great shakes, malts and milk.

The Sponsors for 2016 were: Apple Farm Service, Fisher-Cheney Funeral Home and Harvestland Co-Op. For more information about the grange or any of its projects, contact Mike Russell, Deputy Master of Miami County Granges at 937-5411849.

Glossary: Pictures and descriptions can be found on the OAGC website: www.OAGC.org and in the OAGC Exhibitors’ and Judges’ Handbook. If you have questions please contact one of the show chairs. Accessory: Anything used in an arrangement that is not plant material, the container, or the

mechanics. For good proportion and scale, the accessory must be integrated in design and be 40% of the design height. Creative Design: Usually show restraint in the amount of plant material and the number of components used. The design may have one or more focal areas or none at all. There may be more than one point of emergence and may include some abstract qualities. Rules, styles or traditional patterns do not bind these designs. Creative Vertical: A creative vertical is a creative line or line-mass design in which the dominant thrust is vertical. There may be more than one point of emergence and more than one focal area if it does not destroy the vertical thrust. Diagonal: This design includes, either creative or traditional, a line that moves from one corner to the other. It can go from upper left to lower right or lower left to upper right. The eye should move from one “corner” to the other. The emphasis is on the line that the eye follows. The line is created using flowers, foliage, and line material. Framed-Spatial Design: is a Creative Design made as a single unit, suspended in a frametype structure. The attaching wires, string, monofilament should be as invisible as possible. The design embodies lightness and airiness and there is usually an unconventional use of plant material and /or other components. There is no actual motion; movement is implied. The design should appear to float like a frozen sculpture in a volume of space, defined by the frame. Materials should be placed to provide a visual penetration of the framed volume of space for depth. Visually, the lines of the material cannot look as if they touch any part of the frame when viewed from the front. This design may or may not be abstract. The design should not be confused with Mobiles or Hanging designs. Illuminary: A creative design incorporating light(s) as one of the components. The lighting must be an integral part of the design, not something added for the sole purpose of including lights. Mechanics of special lighting, such as wires, batteries, etc.… must be concealed or be an integral part of the design. Emphasis is placed on color, pattern and balance. Design may or may not be abstract. Line-Mass: An arrangement in which line and mass are important to the design. This is the design we see most frequently in American traditional design. Mass Arrangement: Arrangements in which a large mass of flowers is emphasized rather than the individual flower heads. It always has a fullness and minimum voids. Mass arrangements may be traditional or modern. Miniature and Small Arrangements: Proportion and scale are the most important principles of design to be considered. Emphasis is on simplicity of numbers, kinds of materials and use of color No single flower should be larger than one-third of the size of the container. The height of the container should be one-third the height of the arrangement. A miniature design is not to exceed the size specified in the schedule (usually 3” or 5”) in any direction – this includes diagonal. Niches: These are defined as box-like recessed spaces. The size is stated in the flower show schedule. Displays in a niche may be traditional or creative. Still Life displays and Hanging designs, etc. are often found in niches. Proper use of space (occupied and unoccupied), proportion and scale is important. At least 60% of the space should be filled in a pleasing manner.

2016 Miami County Fair

2016 MIAMI COUNTY FAIR FLOWER SHOW Oriental Manner: These designs do not follow the strict patterns of traditional oriental arrangements, but still possess a clearly defined asymmetrical triangle and restrained simplicity. The linear design is very important and the design must be three-dimensional with height, width, and depth, following the tri-dimensional placement of Heaven, Man and Earth lines. Rhythm: The feeling of motion enabling the eye to travel easily through all the details of the design. Rhythm can be achieved by curving lines, graduation of size and color values, or repetition of line, form, and color. Showing Motion: A design showing motion uses curves of line material, placement of flowers and/ or foliage to provide a feeling of movement. The design can be traditional or creative depending upon the design elements and principles used in the formation of the design. Circles sometime imply motion especially if they are not static. Diagonal lines can appear as movement in some cases. Actual movement within the design can also show motion, as a mobile. Showing Water: A design that shows water can be traditional or creative. The water can be open, as in an Oriental design, or within a container, as in an underwater design. It is not a design where a clear container is used and the water line is visible from the side such as a stemmed rose in a clear bud vase. Still Life: This design is a grouping of plant materials and other components by which a story is told or a theme interpreted, more by the objects

used than by the choice of plant materials. The objects are chosen for their color, form, texture, size and their helpfulness in the design or in conveying a mood, feeling or message of the theme. Miniature figures as such are not found in a Still Life. The objects are actual size and true to their function. The emphasis in a Still Life is on objects; the plant material is often subordinate. The objects should be placed according to the principles of design, including depth and a correct disposition of space. Each object reacts upon and influences all the others. Fruit, flowers, and foliage are not restricted to the container as in the traditional flower arrangement but may be laid out in related groupings of varying heights and color value. A completed floral design is never found in a Still Life. A design with one or more accessories is not a Still Life. A Still Life can be staged in a niche or on a portion of a table and is realistic in feeling. A Still Life must not be confused with an assemblage in a niche. Characteristics of a Still Life; 1. Utilitarian objects do NOT lose their identity. They are still recognizable. 2. More objects than plant material. 3. NOT ABSTRACT! 4. Never a completed floral design. 5. Has a focal point. 6. Items are related through feelings or emotions 7. The objects are seldom merged into single unit. They are integrated as groups and retain

their individuality. Stretch Design: is a creative design using two similar containers where one is smaller and appears to have been pulled away from the other by tension using a connective line of STRAIGHT line material. Traditional Mass: Is the orderly arrangement of parts using the elements and principles of design. Traditional designs are the product not just of individual taste, but also of influences accumulated over generations. The Mass type is defined as one in which a large mass of flowers is emphasized rather than the individual flower heads. It always has fullness and a minimum of voids. It may be very compact or loose, open and airy. The emphasis is on repetition, contrast and texture. Underwater Arrangement: An Underwater design is a creative design, with part or parts placed underwater to create interest. Water magnifies the materials, creating an element of interest and surprise, so scale must be given consideration when selecting plant materials. Vertical: has an overall appearance of power and strength. The vertical style most often requires a focal point either near the top of the arrangement or the rim. In a true vertical design, the materials used will remain within the width of the container and very seldom will it extend beyond the sides. The finished product will be a tall floral arrangement. A vertical arrangement is one that carries the eye top to bottom like a column. It can be compact or wider, but the concept is that the eye travels up and down and not side to side.

6 EASY STEPS FOR YOU TO BUY A MIAMI COUNTY JUNIOR FAIR ANIMAL The Sale Will Be Conducted Using The Premium Bid System 1. Attend one or all of the livestock sales and place your own bid or contact another buyer to place your bid. 2. When you arrive at the livestock sale and if you have not pre-registered, obtain a buyer’s number from the sale clerks in order to bid on the animal of your choice. Proper ID will be required to register. 3. When you spot an animal that you want to purchase, bid by contacting the ring man or holding up your buyer’s number. Prices are bid per lot. Most lots will consist of a single animal but some lots will consist of multiple animals (such as a pen of three rabbits, pen of two chickens or a pen of two lambs). Each lot will receive one premium bid price. 4. If you are the winning bidder you will be asked if you want to “truck” or “pen” the animal. If you tell them to “truck” the animal, that means that the

animal/meat goes to the packer and you only pay the bid price. If you tell them to “pen” the animal, which means that you want the animal/meat and you will pay the bid price plus the market value of the animal. The market value of the animals will be determined and posted before the sale. a. Barrows – there will be no custom barrows, all barrows go to the packer. b. Poultry – we cannot place a market value on poultry so, all poultry remains the property of the exhibitor. c. Rabbits – we cannot place a market value on rabbits so, all rabbits remain the property of the exhibitor. If you bid on an animal but were not the winning bidder you can still add to the exhibitor’s premium. Add-ons will be accepted at the clerk’s desk behind the auctioneer’s podium. The cutoff time for addons will be one (1) hour after the close of the sale. 5. If you purchased an animal and had it “penned”,

it is the responsibility of you the buyer to arrange and pay for trucking and slaughter of the animal. 6. *New for 2016*: All purchases through the 2016 Miami County Jr. Fair Livestock Sale will be invoiced. Only Add-on amounts will be able to be paid the day of sale by cash, check or credit card. Add-on amounts will start with a $10.00 minimum and go in $5.00 increments. Junior Fair Livestock Buyers receive these important benefits: 1. A listing of this year’s Miami County Junior Fair Livestock Sales Buyers appearing in next year’s Miami County Fair Premium Book. 2. Miami County Junior Livestock Buyers Sign displayed at next year’s Miami County Fair. 3.
