2013 TULELAKE-BUTTE VALLEY FAIR GUIDE

TULELAKE-BUTTE VALLEY FAIR SPONSORED BY THE 10-A DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION

 2013 STAFF  Dave Dillabo Fair Manager elcome to the 62nd annual Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair. On behalf of the board of directors and fair staff I would like to extend an invitation to you to attend the 2013 fair as we celebrate “God Made a Farmer,” a theme that I believe is very reflective and appreciative of the basin’s agricultural farming and ranching industry.

The fair is an iconic event in rural life and is many things to many people. To those participating in events like Livestock, Arts & Crafts, Rodeo, Destruction Derby and the Mud Bogs, the fair brings much anticipation and excitement. For business owners, it’s a time to showcase their products and services. Many make new friends and reacquaint with old ones or stroll the midway and reminisce about fairs of yesteryear.

Some come for the smell of corn dogs and cotton candy or for a night out with friends to enjoy a Grandstand event. This is your fair. The more you bring to it, the more you and others will get out of it. The fair staff and board strive every year to make it the best we can possibly make it.

The uniqueness of the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair comes from the hearts and foresight of the people who have and continue to dedicate their efforts into the fair. The Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair is enriched with tradition and history, all of which makes it one of the greatest county fairs on the west coast. Sixty two years ago the fair was founded and developed on the principles of being a family oriented event where the surrounding communities could gather for socializing, entertainment, education and friendly competition. Those founding principles have continued to play an integral role in the fair’s purpose throughout the past sixty two years because of the dedication of past and present fair board members, staff, exhibitors and fair patrons like yourself.

We continue to strive to provide the public a low cost event that the whole family can enjoy with their fellow community members. The great diversity of exhibits, entertainment and food have all played an integral role in developing the fair’s tradition of providing the public an educational and entertaining family oriented event that everyone can afford to attend and enjoy!

As you walk through the gates September 5th thru 8th, I invite you, your family and friends to enjoy the many traditional events and shows that you have come to know and love as well as some new entertainment we hope you will find enjoyable. NEW to this year’s fair will be the World of Music Museum, where adults & kids can learn and enjoy the many sounds of music, Sadie the Balloon Lady will be creating very unique and fun themed balloons for children, FREE PONY RIDES all week for kids to enjoy and on Sunday the Barnyard Kid’s Rodeo will be premiering numerous fun-filled events for children of all ages to enjoy. The Sterling Savings Bank Free Music Stage is power packed with a great lineup of live music including Chad Bushnell, Northern Heat, Jackson Michelson, Amanda Ply and Los Sismos de Michoacan. Of course, some of last year’s crowd favorites such as, the Kids Pedal Tractors, the All-Alaskan Racings Pigs, the Fables of the West riding cowboys and the Battle of the Voice talent competition will return to the fairgrounds to energize the crowd!

The fair staff and board of directors have worked extremely hard to provide the public an enjoyable, friendly and entertaining fun filled week! I would like to thank the board of directors, office staff and maintenance staff for their continued dedication as they strive for excellence throughout the year.

It’s your choice! If you choose to donate, pay what you can!

The Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair continues to strive to remain sustainable after losing 100% of the state funding due to the State of California’s budget deficit. Locally, this support equaled $272,000 and accounted for 42% of our fair’s annual budget. This loss of state funding has significantly impacted the daily operations and has seriously affected the fair’s revenue stream and long term future.

The “Pay What You Can” admission policy will serve as yet, another stepping stone as we lay the foundation to secure a sustainable future. As our fair endures it’s first year of zero funding, the time has never been more immediate and the need has never been greater. Individually, our impact of giving is limited, but together as a community we have the unlimited potential and ability to preserve the future of our fair for generations to come.

We are very fortunate to have incredible community supporters and are optimistic that together our local and surrounding communities will continue to show their support during these challenging economic times. As always, the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair sincerely appreciates your generous support as we strive to continue a tradition that has served the people of the Klamath Basin for 62 years!

The “Pay What You Can” admission policy allows you the customer, the choice of donating an admission fee for attending the fair. While paying for admission is not required, we kindly ask for support by donating what you can and am providing you the value of your admission to the fair. You have the choice of paying the suggested value, less than, more than or nothing at all. Your admission donation will help promote a sustainable future for the fair and allow everyone to enjoy the fair at reasonable rates.

ATTENDEE SUGGESTED DAILY DONATION ADULT: $3 to $5 CHILDREN: $1 to $3 FAMILY OF 3 TO 4: $7 to $15 FAMILY OF 5 OR MORE: $10 to $20

2013 TULELAKE-BUTTE VALLEY FAIR GUIDE

he Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair Friends Inc., a non-profit organization in support of the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair will be having a fundraiser raffle during the week of fair this year. The raffle prize is a Browning Classic 35 Hammered Charcoal Gun Safe with a retail value of $2,200. The gun safe will be on display at the north main entrance next to the Information Booth where tickets will be available for purchase Thursday thru Sunday. The drawing for the gun safe will be held on Sunday at 6:00 during the Extreme Mud Shootout Races. The winner does not need to be present to win. Raffle tickets will cost $1 each or 25 tickets for $20. The money raised from the raffle will be used to support the future sustainability efforts of the TulelakeButte Valley Fair. Special thanks to Kirb’s Outlet of Tulelake for their donation of the gun safe.

Since 2012, the fair has operated without any state funding, which accounted for over 40% of the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair’s annual budget. The loss of funding has significantly impacted the fair’s daily operations and continues to jeopardize the fair’s sustainability and future existence. Since losing 100% of the State of California general fund support, which left an annual $275,000 shortfall, the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair has pursued numerous avenues to develop a sustainable future. These efforts have included the development of new revenue sources that have increased the total annual revenue by 46% and the reduction of annual expenses by 15% since 2010.

While the fair continues to promote and pursue sustainable efforts, the future existence of the fair is in jeopardy. The time has never been more immediate and the need has never been greater. Individually, our impact of giving is limited, but together as a community the people of the basin have the unlimited potential and ability to preserve the future of our fair for generations to come.

We are very fortunate to have incredible community supporters like you and are optimistic that together our local and surrounding communities will continue to show their support through these challenging economic times. All donations made to the non-profit 501c.3 organization “Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair Friend Inc.” are tax deductible. If you are interested in making a monetary donation please contact the fair office at 530-667-5312 or send a check payable to the “Tulelake-Butte Valley Friends of the Fair,” P.O. Box 866, Tulelake, CA 96134. As always, the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair sincerely appreciates your generous support as we strive to continue a tradition that has served the people of the Klamath Basin for over 62 years!

and FFA; this is when Joan’s love for the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair began.

Joan was born in Klamath Falls, Oregon, to Lou and Betty Drager and was raised in Hatfield, where Lou owned and operated a seed cleaning plant. Joan was always tagging along with her Dad in the seed cleaning plant and started learning about agriculture at a very young age.

Joan’s 4-H career began in Klamath County by participating in sewing and cooking for five years. Part of her 4-H cooking project was competing in a full dinner contest and preparing dinner for the judges. he Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair Board selected two past board members, Joan Haskins and John Crowell both of Tulelake as the 2013 Parade Grand Marshals for the Saturday, September 7th parade in recognition of their long-time committed service to the fair and to the community. The parade is part of the festivities of the fair which goes from September 5-8.

T

Joan Haskins has been involved with the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair for many years. Joan and Doyle have three children who actively participated in 4-H

Another important connection Joan has with the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair is that her Dad, Lou, was on the Rotary Financial Committee that successfully acquired the fairgrounds in Tulelake. She remembers this being a very exciting time for the community.

In 1953 Joan married Doyle Haskins (a farmer from Merrill, Oregon) and they moved to Tulelake to farm 365 acres of his Dad’s homesteads. Joan and Doyle farmed potatoes, grain, wheat and barley. Very early in their marriage they also helped Doyle’s Dad with the many sheep on the farm.

Joan loves gardening and sewing, and for many years entered her produce and sewing projects in the Agriculture Feature Booths, table displays and Home Economic competitions in the fair, and received several 1st place awards for the fruits of her labor.

While Joan’s children were in 4-H, she was an assistant leader and ultimately became a 4-H leader for the Winema Sheep Club and Sewing Club. Joan also served as a clerk in the livestock office and clerked for the swine judge during many fairs.

Joan served as a Board of Director for the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair for 10 years and her main responsibilities were the Parade and overseeing the buildings during fair. Joan served as President of the Board for three years and enjoyed all aspects of the fair.

Joan attended Malin Elementary School and graduated from Malin High School.

Her graduating high school class just celebrated their 60th class reunion.

Joan will continue volunteering at the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair, as this is one of her first loves.

Each year, the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair Board of Director’s review & select an annual fair theme from ideas submitted by community members. This year’s theme of “God Made a Farmer” was submitted by Catherine Lyman of Merrill, Oregon. This year’s theme is reflective of the Klamath Basin’s agricultural farming and ranching industry. We hope that you can join us as we celebrate “God Made a Farmer” at this year’s Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair!

Have you ever wanted to walk on water? Now is your chance!

Bobble Lagoon is a unique ride where you climb into a ball and run around in it (on water). Think of a hamster spinning around in a little ball….. that’s what Bobble Lagoon is like! Sounds almost like a form of child abuse, but, as it turns out, it’s one of the greatest forms of child/adult entertainment we’ve seen in years!

Bobble Lagoon is a 30 foot round pool of about 20 inches of water where children (and adults up to 250 lbs.) are placed in a large inflatable clear ball and let loose to run amok on the surface of the water. You can run, jump, flip or just lay back and relax.

You’ll also enjoy the Caribbean theme and feel as if you’re in a tropical paradise. WELCOME TO BOBBLE LAGOON!

Have you ever wanted to pitch horse shoes? You can at the Horse Shoe Pitching Contest on Saturday, September 7 at 9:00 a.m. at the Grandstand Arena.

For those of you who don’t know, horse shoes is an outdoor game played between two people (or two teams of two people) using four horse shoes and two throwing targets (stakes) set in a sandbox area. The game is played by the players alternating turns tossing horse shoes at stakes in the ground, which are traditionally placed 40 feet apart. Modern games use a more stylized U-shaped bar, about twice the size of an actual horse shoe.

Did you know that pitching horse shoes goes back to the days of the Roman army? There are disagreements about whether it began with a round ring or actual horse shoes, but in some form, it was played by officers and foot soldiers alike. The game’s long route included England and then the soldiers of our own country in the Revolutionary War. You may remember horse shoes being played at family reunions, picnics or potluck dinners with the clanks of ringers and the thuds of misses, accompanied by laughter and kidding from brothers, cousins, and maybe an uncle or two who may not have played since the last reunion. Of course, that was no excuse for missing the stake!

Come on out and pitch a few “shoes” or watch a very popular recreation sport. It may bring back a few memories or create wonderful new ones and perhaps even create a tradition in your family!

Be sure to look for The Rawhide Express when you’re out-and-about! Hop on at one of the train stops and Engineer Ken will give you a tour of the fair. You’ll also be making your feet happy!

The Rawhide Express is truly a remarkable electric and solar powered trackless touring train. The “Environmentally Safe” train emits neither smoke nor fuel odors and carries families in the quiet comfort of their own coach touring around the fairgrounds. The train also has a solar panel charging system so that the batteries maintain a charge as it is driven around.

The Rawhide Express is 4 feet wide and over 40 feet long, with a carrying capacity of up to 35 people at one time. All seats face forward for a “Grand View”. Custom made in Belgium, the design features covered coaches all out of very sturdy fiberglass.

Now hop on The Rawhide Express and say “All Aboard”!

Take flight and soar into the air on the Power Jump Bungee. It will take your breath away! Go as high as 25’ in the air while doing back flips and somersaults as the two bungee cords guide you safely back to the inflatable trampoline landing position each time you come down. Then jump up and fly again and try something new!! Exhilarating for all ages.

The Power Jump Bungee is a unique amusement ride and set up in a safe, controlled environment. Don’t miss the opportunity to fly like an eagle and see the views of the fair, all while getting your adrenaline pumping!

Have you ever wanted to be a rock star or on American Idol?

You can pretend on our Karaoke Fun stage!

Karaoke is a wildly popular pastime that involves singing the lyrics of a song while accompanied by recorded background music. It allows people to sing and interpret their favorite songs while uninterrupted by the original singer.

Karaoke has obtained global popularity, with particular success in the United States and Asia.

Stop by and participate or just sit back and listen. Please come with a sense of humor and possibly earplugs for some less talented performers and extreme situations.

Some amateur performers may shock you with their unsuspected talent.

Who knows? We might have the next American Idol originate right here at the fair!

Karaoke Fun can be found on Stage #2 Thursday at 5:00 and Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 1:00 and 5:00.

It is no surprise that people love balloons AND they love being adorned by Sadie’s balloon art! Always attracting a crowd with her crazy wigs, bright attire and cool scooter, her creations are as unique as the people who receive them! Whether small as a piece of jewelry or large as a costume, guests will walk away with a colorful reminder of their day of fun at the fair.

Sadie the Balloon Lady began her entertainment career as Pickles the Clown in Orange County, CA and soon her love of creating balloon art took over. “I love the creativity, and how it brings people together,” she says, “There is a kid to be found in everyone!” Look for Sadie working her magic on the grounds of the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair surprising guests with their very own sculptured air (wrapped in a balloon, of course!)

We welcome Sadie the Balloon Lady this year and you’ll be able to catch her strolling the fairgrounds at the following times: Thursday, Sept. 5th 2:00 pm 4:00 pm 5:30 pm 7:30 pm

Friday, Sept. 6th 2:00 pm 4:00 pm 5:30 pm 6:30 pm

The Famous All-Alaskan Racing Pigs will once again make their way to the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair this year. The pigs, who are famous world-wide for their grace, speed and charm, have a new show entitled, “You Never Sausage a Show”.

It all started 20 years ago. It was the summer of 1987 at the local fair in Fairbanks, Alaska, and a speedy troupe of little pigs hit the track for their first race. The All-Alaskan Racing Pigs were off on a grand adventure that is still unwinding. And now, secondgeneration front men Darren and Chad Noll will present the 26th edition of the show at the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair.

The All-Alaskan Racing Pigs are the ultimate racing machines.

The sawdust really flies when four of these fuzzy little critters flash out of the starting gates and battle each other for first place at the feed trough. You don’t have to hog call these pigs.

You don’t even have to call them for dinner — they’ll get there before the food does! You’ve heard of bringin’ home the bacon... now you’re going to see it.

The action is hog wild with the addition of the high hurdles. We searched coast-to-coast (Bering Sea to Arctic Ocean) to find the finest athletes anywhere. See them soaring over hurdles that stand taller than they do! And there is always a surprise at every show. That’s a secret you’ll have to come see for yourself.

The official starter is carefully selected from the crowd before each show, and for the championship round, four lucky spectators will be selected to lead “rooting sections.”

All participants take home prize ribbons and everyone in attendance takes home a memory for life. You can even have your picture taken with one of the racing pigs after the races.

Don’t miss the action. Seeing the pigs is free, and fun.

Come on out, they’ll be talked about around the water cooler for the next month at work!

24

SCHEDULE

The racing pigs are bred strictly for their racing characteristics — short legs for quick acceleration and steady cornering, aerodynamic nose for top-end speed. Pure breed, cross breed, any breed. They have a special bonus: extra padding to handle the battles for position in the corners. These guys know how to put it in “four-squeal drive” and go whole hog for the finish. Racing action has never been so much fun... especially for a pig.

‘A World Of Music...The Electronic Age’ is an all new attraction from Ken McMeans Presents. Like its predecessor, the award winning ‘A World Of Music’, it’s a fully interactive, hands-on museum, but this time around, all of the instruments are from the Electronic Age of music, beginning in the 1960s through modern day.

The Electronic Age is a literal musical journey through each decade and its music. The exhibit features a wide variety of both vintage and new keyboards, synthesizers, electronic drum kits, drum pads and drum machines, percussion pads, and electric and lap steel guitars. There is a Blue Man Group Station featuring percussion tube instruments from the Blue Man Group, along with a number of amazing digital and laser instruments, and some wild and creative musical ‘toys’. There are music instruments for all ages and skill levels, including a Yamaha Electric Piano!

‘A World Of Music…The Electronic Age’.

Get ready to ride with the biggest little cowboys on the Old West trail. If you’re coming to the fair in 2013, you’re sure to get a ‘kick’ from the Fables Of The West gang and their trusty steeds, as they head out on the 2013 ‘Trail Of Tales’ Tour.

The cowboy comedy team (often referred to as ‘the little cowboys on the little horses’) has, in just twelve years time, performed at over 600 fairs and events (in their entirety) from Alaska to Florida to Texas to their home state of California. They have opened up concerts for many of the top recording artists in the business including Lonestar and Kenny Chesney, and have appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

The show is always 100% G-rated, family entertainment.

Each year, Fables Of The West continues to rank as one of the most booked touring acts in North America each year and is considered by many to be the top grounds act in the nation.

Ken points out that every show is different and fresh, because, after all, the majority of it is improv. “We mostly make it up on the spot as we go along.”

SCHEDULE

And just what is it these ‘Fables’ cowboys do? Well if you’ve been to a fair in the US in the past decade, you’ve most likely run across their path. “Its high energy and interactive, and we try to involve fair guests by literally making them the main focus of the show”, says Ken McMeans, owner and founder of the Fables team. The group is actually labeled as a ‘strolling grounds act’- never really having a specific show time nor needing (or wanting) to be on a stage (“too far away from the crowd,” says Ken). “I guess I should give some credit to the horses we ride (‘faux’ Muppet-like miniatures), though they seem to sometimes steal our thunder.”

he Paul Maurer Carnival will be returning to the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair again this year! Paul Maurer got started in the amusement business in 1971 as a solo game operator, playing numerous fairs and festivals throughout the West. Paul Maurer was known as one of the largest game concessionaires on the West Coast during that time frame. In 1984, after wanting to fulfill a life long dream, and saving his money earned from his game operation, he purchased his first amusement ride and formed "Paul Maurer Shows".

Today, Paul Maurer is the owner of over 33 spectacular, major and kiddy amusement rides and their attractions, which includes a large selection of fun, family games and carnival food / cotton candy concessions.

Paul Maurer Shows is known for their unique, brightly-painted rides with their sparkling lights (that shine bright at night), colorful three-toned canvas, aluminum framed games and food concessions. All of their employees are required to undergo a background check using the "California Department of Justice, Megan's Law" website and participate in the show's random drug & alcohol testing program. Maurer’s carnival employees, from the management to ride operators, are fully trained for the safe operation of our amusement rides and attractions. Clean uniforms and personal hygiene are also top priority for the appearance of our staff and show. Their management staff is fully qualified to resolve any problem and is always onsite during the event and made available for any questions, complaints or concerns you may have.

Paul Maurer Shows is committed to provide a safe, clean, fun and family carnival atmosphere and keeping those great family memories alive!!

2013 TULELAKE-BUTTE VALLEY FAIR GUIDE

The Pee Wee Showmanship Contest will take place on Saturday, September 7th at 2:00 p.m. in the Beef Show Arena.

The Pee-Wee Showmanship exhibition is an exciting and fun experience for young boys and girls who were under 9 years old as of January 1st this year.

The kids are eligible to show any kind of animal in the showmanship class.

All the exhibitors and animals will be shown together. Animal must have been trained by the exhibitor and may not be entered in any other division (except Gymkhana or Parade) and need not be purebred. The judge will be evaluating how well trained the animals are and the exhibitor’s showmanship skills. Awards will be presented to all the participating exhibitors.

In order to participate, the exhibitors should arrive at the fairgrounds on Saturday approximately 1:30 p.m. utilizing the north front gate next to the main office. Each exhibitor must fill out an entry form just prior to the contest, which must be signed by a parent/guardian. The entry forms can be picked up at the main office or livestock office during the fair. After the judging has concluded, the animals may be taken home.

The Pee Wee Showmanship Class is sponsored by the Dry Lake Ranch.

Thank you to our volunteer judges of this year’s Pee Wee Showmanship, Tracey Struble and Sherri Grimes.

The Tulelake Butte Valley Fair is always trying to find new ways for the community to actively participate at the annual fair. This year students from Tulelake, Butte Valley and Klamath Schools Districts ranging from pre-school thru elementary were given the opportunity to color an outline of the 2013 “God Made a Farmer” fair logo. The name of the child, school and teacher will be located on each colored logo. All of the children’s colored logo outlines will be on display in the Home Economics Building for the public to view and enjoy the hard work of the young children! Each colored logo will receive a fair participation ribbon, which will be available during the fair. If your child participated in the project please ask one of the building attendants for your child’s ribbon! If you would like to participate or know of another youth organization or school who would like to be a part of next year’s youth coloring contest please contact the fair office by calling 530-667-5312 or email tulefair@cot.net.

he Jr. Livestock Auction will take place on Sunday, September 8th @ 2:00 p.m. in the Jock’s Sale Pavilion near the livestock area. Everyone is invited to attend the auction. This year’s auction will include Beef, Rabbits, Swine, Goats, Sheep, Poultry, Turkey and Wood/ Metal projects exhibited by 4-H and FFA members.

the auctioneer and sale staff to know who the final bidder is and in order to record the sale.

Bidding and purchasing on the sale lots benefits the entire community.

By purchasing a sale lot you not only help the Tulelake Rotary Club, but you are supporting the months of dedication and labor by the 4-H or FFA members. The projects require the exhibitors to put in numerous hours of hard work as they are responsible for the development and health of their project.

During the sale, there will be an auctioneer plus three sale ring attendants, who will acknowledge your bids when you wave your hand or bid number. When you feel you want to bid, just hold up your buyer’s number and the ring attendant will take your bid. Once you’ve bid pay attention to the ring attendant to see if he acknowledges your bid. If the auctioneer took your bid, you will know, as he will be looking to see if anyone else bids more. If the ring attendant starts looking at you again, another bidder has out bid you and he will be looking to see if you want to bid again.

For first-time buyers, the experience can seem a little intimidating because they’ve never bought at an auction before. After reading this article, you’ll realize there is no reason not to participate because buying a fair animal is very easy and is an exciting experience!

The sale begins sharply at 2:00 p.m., so you should arrive a little early in order to register as a potential buyer and get your buyer’s number. Upon arrival at Jock’s Sale Pavilion, visit the Rotary Tent where the assistants will help you complete the paperwork to register as a potential buyer. After completing the paperwork you will receive a buyer’s number that you may use to bid with during the auction. The buyer number allows

After receiving your buyer’s number, you are set and ready to bid on the animals of your choice! Many buyers will arrive early prior to the auction in order to view the animals in the barns and visit with the 4-H and FFA exhibitors about their projects.

Contrary to popular belief, you will not unknowingly bid on an animal by inadvertently scratching your arm or sneezing. The first time you bid you may need to make sure a spotter sees you, but after that they will watch you closely and make sure they have your bid if you bid again.

I can’t stress this enough, bidding is the easiest thing in the world. The auctioneer and ring attendants are there to help the Rotary Club and the exhibitors get their animals sold and they do a wonderful job of it.

2013 TULELAKE-BUTTE VALLEY FAIR GUIDE

The Grand and Reserve Grand Champion market animal of the specie selling with be the first to sell. After the champions, the rest of the animals will sell in descending order of the judging results. Prices per specie will vary, but expect to pay about $1.50-$3.00 per pound for a beef which will weigh between 1050-1400 pounds. Sheep will sell for around $4.00-$7.00 per pound and will weigh between 110-155 pounds. Swine will sell for around $3.00-$4.00 per pound and weigh between 215-275 pounds.

After you have purchased your animal, there is a little bit of paperwork to complete. All animals go to a designated slaughter house, but you get to choose where it will be processed for the cut & wrap of the meat. If you don’t have a certain place, don’t worry, the people handling the sale can inform you of your choices and help you select the one that is most convenient for you.

You are almost finished; you now have to pay for your animal, which can be done either by check or credit card.

The meat from the sale lots that you purchased will be ready to be picked-up from the processor of your choice in about two weeks following the sale. You will definitely enjoy eating the meat you’ve purchased as it is always a little sweeter knowing you’ve helped out a very deserving exhibitor.

2013 TULELAKE-BUTTE VALLEY FAIR GUIDE

he Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair will be honoring Huffman Brothers of Tulelake as the 2013 Farmer & Rancher of the year during the Farmers & Ranchers Appreciation Dinner held on Thursday, September 5th at Jock’s Sale Pavilion.

Huffman Brothers is operated by Matt and Otto Huffman and family. All Klamath Basin area farmers and ranchers are invited to attend the event and enjoy a complimentary dinner.

Left to Right/Top to Bottom: Matt Huffman, Otto Huffman (Top) Debbie Huffman, Judy Huffman (Middle) Drew Huffman, Ryan Huffman (Bottom)

Matt and Otto Huffman are second generation farmers still farming the land their parents, Clyde and Nancy homesteaded in 1949. Clyde was homesteader number 102 out of 110 when his name was pulled out of the pickle jar and he received one of the last homesteads to be given out. The family farm is located 12 miles from Tulelake in Coppock Bay which is south of Newell. There, they worked hard to raise their five sons.

Expanding from the original 80 acre homestead, 4 of the 5 boys acquired leases from the Tulelake Refuge as they graduated from high school and started farming as individuals. In 1980, they decided it would be a better business plan to work together and share equipment as they increased their land base by renting land as homesteaders began to retire. Thus Huffman Brothers Partnership began when Matt, Otto, Paul and Charlie joined forces. Unfortunately, commodity prices and tough times of the mid 1980’s caused Paul and Charlie to leave the partnership. Their father passed away in 1986 and soon after, brother Paul.

In 1989 Matt and Otto were the first farmers in the basin to harvest a new crop of sugar beets. The following year, they joined forces with neighboring farmers and formed the Coppock Bay Beet Growers which benefited all of the farmers as they shared ideas and equipment. Beets became a major crop in the Basin over the next 10 years and allowed Matt and Otto to expand their operation. Sugar beet production ended in 2000 and was followed by the water shut off of 2001. At great financial risk, they drilled 3 wells that year and by the grace of God were lucky enough to hit good water. With the guarantee of well water flowing to their fields, Matt and Otto were able to replace their sugar beet contracts with their very first chipper potato contract. They were fortunate to be able to change direction in such a difficult water year and managed to make the best out of a bad situation. Since that time, Huffman Brothers have expanded to become one of the larger farming operations in the Tulelake Basin.

Over the last 33 years of working together, the two brothers have settled into a partnership where they share responsibilities. Matt concentrates on potato and onion production while Otto focuses on hay and grain.

Youngest brother Tim, who was not part of the original partnership, returned to work for the farm and is in charge of maintenance on the large array of equipment needed to farm in today’s agriculture.

Matt has been president of the Sugar Beet Growers Association and currently serves on theUnited Potato Growers Board. He is married to Debbie and they have 2 children. Debbie does the payroll and handles the safety program for the farm. Daughter Michelle and her husband Jerry Johnson just blessed them with their first grandchild, Oliver in April. Their son Drew graduated from high school 3 years ago and is working on the farm with plans on taking Matt’s share of the partnership.

Otto has been a volunteer of the Tulelake Fire Department for over 25 years and is currently president of Modoc County Farm Bureau.

He is married to Judy. She handles the bookkeeping for the farm.

NEW EVENT! he Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair will be premiering a brand new event at this year’s fair. If you’re looking for a thrill-aminute, fun-filled activity for kids, with extreme spectator entertainment value, check out the Kid’s Barnyard Rodeo event at this year’s fair! This exciting, new children’s event provides the youngsters a chance to participate in numerous fun events in a rodeo like atmosphere providing friendly competition between the children! The Barnyard Rodeo provides events for children ages 3-15. The Barnyard Rodeo events will include, Mutton Bustin, Greased Pig Scramble, Steer Dummy Roping, Potato Sack Races, Egg & Spoon Races, Stick Horse Races and a Watermelon Rolling contest. The Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair is proud to offer this free, fun-filled family event on Sunday, September 8th starting at 11:00 a.m. at this year’s fair!

T

For more information about participating in the event, information and entry forms can be found in the Entry Handbook, which are available at Big R, Grange Co-op and at the OSU Extension Office in Klamath Falls, on the fair’s website at www.tbvfair.com, at the fair office in Tulelake or by contacting the fair office @ 530-667-5312 or tulefair@cot.net Mutton Bustin’ is one of the most popular events and offers youngsters between the ages of 4 to 8 years old, weighing less than 60 lbs. an opportunity to try to ride a sheep for a full six seconds! If they stay on for the full six second ride they will receive a score just like any rough stock rodeo rider would! The highest score of the round wins. If none of the participants ride for the full six seconds, the rider who stayed on the longest wins the round. The top three riders from each round will receive placing awards and ALL of the riders in each round will receive a participation award.

This fun-filled event creates non-stop action and excitement as the children and our wooly bully sheep grab the attention of numerous fairgoers. Whether it’s a one second or six second ride, these youngsters are in for a wild, exciting and memorable time! The added production of funny commentary, inarena/chute rider interviews and crowd interaction will make this one of the most popular spectator events at the fair!

The Pig Scramble is a squealing, scrambling good time and is as much fun for the kids as it is for the spectators watching! Contestants between the ages of 4 to 12 years of age and weighing less than 85 lbs race after clever and wily young pigs turned loose in the arena. The contestant’s objective is to catch and hold on to a slippery pig in the grass arena. Be prepared: if a contestant catches a pig, the pig will come home to live with the contestant! ALL of the scramblers in each round will receive a participation award. Tell-tale squeals of delight will be heard throughout the fairgrounds!

38

Steer Dummy Roping is a good ol’ ropin’ fun time, letting the kids experience where the Old West came from. The cattle didn’t always want to “get along” on the trail so cowboys became skilled in roping the disagreeable animals. Children aged 5 to15 can participate in roping or “catching” a “dummy” steer by twirling the rope in the air, flinging it forward, and neatly bending it around the head of the dummy calf that is his/her target. It doesn’t matter if the rope misses, it’s all about having fun! The little buckaroos will have a dadgum blast with the dummy (as will the older cowboys and cowgirls at heart)!

The Potato Sack Races will provide great fun for the competitors and excitement for the spectators! Open to competitors ages 3 to 15 to hop on out into the arena and race like super spuds!! Individual Potato Sack Race: Participants will run to the sack, put both feet in and begin hopping toward the finish line. Contestants must keep both feet in sack and at least one hand on the sack at all times. The sack must remain as close to the waist as possible and should not fall below the knees. The first racer to the finish line wins. Three-legged Potato Sack Race: Two people form a team to race. One person put a left leg and the other person put a right leg in a potato sack.

They stand side-by-side and race together from the beginning to the end. The teamwork is the key to finish the race successfully. Usually, walking and running are the more proper method to race rather than hopping or jumping. The first team reaches the finish line wins! Did you know that sack racing was made an official Olympic event in the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis? The good old-fashioned potato sack game is a great past-time and will bring back many childhood memories.

The Egg & Spoon Race will have kids and adults “cracking up” by offering a fun and exciting event for the youngsters! Open to children ages 3 to 15. All contestants will be in the arena at the start line. An egg and spoon will be given to each contestant. Contestants must race with the egg in the spoon, holding the spoon by the handle, and far enough so judges can see that no finger or thumb touches the egg. On the signal, contestants race to far end of arena, around a barrel and back to the finish line. The first contestant back with their egg wins.

Which came first? The Egg or the Spoon?

The Stick Horse Race provides great ol’time fun for the youngsters! We’re calling all jockeys, ages 3 to 10, to compete in the Barnyard Rodeo Stick Horse Races! We will provide the stick horses, you provide the fun!

• Race 1 (10 yards): 3-4 year olds • Race 2 (20 yards): 5-7 year olds • Race 3 (30 yards): 8-10 year olds Watermelon Roll Contest is a fun event for children of all ages. We all love the taste of watermelon, but have you ever tried to roll one on the ground and get it to go where you want it to? We guarantee this to be one of the funniest games yet!

2013 TULELAKE-BUTTE VALLEY FAIR GUIDE

ave you ever wondered who maintains all of the beautiful flower gardens at the fairgrounds?

It’s the people of the great Klamath Basin who are responsible for the beautiful scenery that the flower gardens provide us all! In 1994, the idea of the Adopt-A-Spot Gardens was created by the fair manager at that time, Cindy Wright. The concept of the flower gardens was to allow the people of the local communities to actively participate at the fair throughout the summer by managing and caring for their specific flower garden.

The care takers are then rewarded at fairtime by receiving up to $200 for their hard work and dedication put forth in their flower garden. The beautiful exhibits are a reflection of the pride that the competitive gardeners have for the community and the fairgrounds.

The Adopt-A-Spot gardens have continued to flourish and grow in numbers as the years have passed by. This year, there will be 24 Adopt-A-Spot Gardens available for the public to enjoy.

The Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair would like to give a special thanks to all of the Adopt-ASpot flower gardeners for their continued dedication and contributions that they provide while greatly enhancing the beauty of the fairgrounds! If you are interested in participating in the 2014 Adopt-ASpot Flower program, call the fair office at (530) 667-5312 or email tulefair@cot.net.

PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE THURSDAY • SEPTEMBER 5TH Sterling Savings Bank Stage 5:30 p.m. • 8:00 p.m.

FRIDAY • SEPTEMBER 6TH Sterling Savings Bank Stage 5:00 p.m. • 8:00 p.m.

Due to the outpour of demand, Northern Heat will be returning for a second year to perform at the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair. Northern Heat will be performing on the Sterling Savings Bank Stage on Thursday and Friday! Northern Heat is a mix of styles and sounds giving our audience from the 50’s to the present of variety to please most. Jason Powell, the originator of the group, formerly with the Ridge Brothers Band, lead vocals, bass and very much a crowd pleaser. Don Powell, the originator of the Ridge Brothers Band, lead vocals and keyboards. Ron Ramsey, the leader of Foothill Express, lead vocals and lead guitar. Nick Taylor, drummer, and showman Jason Powell, Jr. up-andcoming talent rhythm guitar.

Northern Heat has performed at Harrah’s, Lake Tahoe, Red Hawk Casino, Twin Pine Casino, Win River Casino, Gold Country Casino, Rolling Hills Casino, Colusa Casino, Konocti Harbor, rodeos, fairs, and annual fireman’s dances from Sacramento to Redding with weddings and specials mixed in. The band has played on stage with CCR, 38 Special, Charlie Daniels and more. This band is here to please the crowd; hear it, see it, feel it.

NEW to the Tulelake-Butte Valley entertainment stage, but certainly not new to entertaining crowds is Amanda Ply. One afternoon at the age of six years old Amanda Ply walked into a gift shop with her mother. There was a snow globe that caught her attention, playing Beethoven’s “Fur Elise”. After returning home, Amanda found an old junky keyboard her family had in the house and began to teach herself the song by ear. She started to train herself to play songs she heard on the radio and her family started to take notice of her unique ability.

Amanda’s mother made a deal with her that if she stuck with it for a year, her mom would look into buying Amanda a used piano to replace the old keyboard. Amanda never looked back. She was trained for over a decade in classical piano. However, she is the first person to point out that it was “because I wanted to. I’m happy to say my parents never forced it on me, and it was all out of my desire to get better”. All those years led to annual testing through two prestigious programs: The Music Teacher’s Association of California Certificate of Merit, and The National Guild Auditions.

Amanda was constantly excelling at these tests and regularly invited to perform at state festivals. She believes that all of this theory training is the reason it is so easy for her to play with other musicians, and sight read (and write) her own music.

Amanda began writing her own songs at a very young age. She remembers her first attempt at a song: “I wrote a song called ‘Arizona’ because of all the trips my family took there. Some of the lyrics were ‘we’re floating on a boat, but no not a moat. It’s hot here in the sun, but oh this is so fun.’

We all gotta start somewhere!”

Almost 20 years later, she has developed into a very honest and poetic songstress. With the release of her debut EP “Runaway”, fans get a glimpse into the life of this 25-year-old singer and songwriter. Amanda will be on tour throughout 2013 in support of her debut release, and you can find dates on her website: Amandaply.com
