Premium List and Rules

160th Warren County Free Fair Indianola, Iowa

Special Note to Exhibitors The premium list as published will be our guide, so read all the rules and be certain you understand them when entries are made. The Executive Committee reserves the right to correct or interpret any part of the rules or premium list.

Before making your entries, notice carefully the rules and regulations governing the department in which each entry belongs, then be sure to fill out the entry form (one form may be used for all divisions), giving the correct division and class number.

If possible, make your entries before the last day; this will save confusion and waiting at that time. Notice carefully the time of closing entries. Be sure to have your livestock entries in place according to the Fair and Judging schedule. Fees for changing entry after entries close will be double the entry fee. If you make an entry and decide not to show it, advise the Secretary and your entry will be taken from the Judges’ books. There is no charge for this.

The Fair Management has arranged to give the patrons of the Warren County Fair the best from an educational and entertainment standpoint, with more livestock and agricultural exhibits of all kinds.

The Fair Management believes that Warren County is entitled to the best. In turn, they have confidence that you will support their efforts by your attendance and cooperation, for which they thank you sincerely.

—Jo Ellen Reynolds, Secretary (Please refer to the Index on the last page of this book.)

Resolution 012709

Livestock Auction

18. Dogs are not allowed on or off leash on the fairgrounds in any livestock areas or show areas.

As of November 2001, it has become necessary to make a change to our policies and procedures for the livestock auction. These changes have come about due to a complaint from one person that was made to the Federal Stockyards and Packers Commission regarding the timeliness of checks being available to exhibitors.

Because of this complaint, we must speed up the collection and payment process. Checks must be issued to market livestock exhibitors whether money has been collected from the buyers or not. In order to comply with federal requirements we must make checks available one week following the sale. The checks will be made available to exhibitors on Monday, August 8th. (We will be billing quicker, thus we will make a note on the invoices to buyers that we are complying with federal regulations and that we would appreciate prompt payment.) The lag time between collection and payment will necessitate the fair establishing a line of credit to cover exhibitor’s checks.

THE FAIR WILL BE COLLECTING A 1.5% COMMISSION ON ALL MARKET ANIMALS GOING THROUGH THE AUCTION. The 1.5% commission covers: * Administrative expenses (computer program, overtime costs,etc.) * Interest expenses (for line of credit) * Indemnity fund expenses (covers uncollected market auction debts.) * Newspaper ad (prior to complaint, these expenses were deducted from check.)

Exception: Service dogs and 4-H/FFA dogs on leash for Wednesday show 19. Warren County Produced Eligibility Statement:

(copies available from fair secretary) Animals must be born, produced and raised in Warren County. Producer must be a resident of Warren County. Animal must be purchased directly from Warren County producers.

20. Retag Procedure:

A market beef superintendant must be present at the time of a retag to witness, reinstall tag, and obtain signatures on a triplicate form with one copy going to the Extension office, Fair office and Exhibitor.

21. CHECKS MUST BE CASHED IMMEDIATELY! ALL checks issued by the Warren County Fair (premiums and/ or auction) are VOID if they are not cashed within 60 days of the date issued. After 60 days from the date on the check, uncashed checks will become a donation to the Fair Board.

If you do not wish to receive a premium check from your fair exhibits please advise the Fair Secretary prior to Fair.

22. No Cell Phones or text messaging allowed by any exhibitors during shows or contests.

23. No solicitation on Warren County Fairgrounds during the annual Fair - no handbills, signage, handouts or flyers can be distributed or placed on car windows. Only information/ advertising from paid commercial vendors can be given away from their specific commercial booth space or authorized vendors. No other advertising can be placed on fairgrounds property during the annual Fair event (barns, poles, windows, etc.) without prior consent from the Warren County Fair Board of Directors.

The beef, swine and sheep check-off will be collected as usual.

The fair regrets this decision, but the federal requirement has taken this situation out of our control.

This commission collection will include cattle, swine, sheep, goats and poultry.

24. Alcohol Policy - Alcohol is not allowed or sold on the Fairgrounds property during the dates of the annual Fair event. Law enforcement will be called to handle infractions to the rule.

IAFE (International Association of Fairs and Expositions) National Code of Show Ring Ethics*

If the laboratory report on the analysis of saliva, urine, blood, or other sample taken from livestock indicates the presence of forbidden drugs or medication, this shall be prima facie evidence such substance has been administered to the animal either internally or externally. It is presumed that the sample of urine, saliva, blood, or other substance tested by the laboratory to which it is sent is the one taken from the animal in question, its integrity is preserved and all procedures of said collection and preservation, transfer to the laboratory and analysis of the sample are correct and accurate and the report received form the laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the animal in question and correctly reflects the condition of the animal at the time the sample wastaken, with the burden on the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person to prove otherwise.

At any time after an animal arrives on the fair or livestock show premises, all treatments involving the use of drugs and/ or medications for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian.

5. Any surgical procedure or injection of any foreign substance or drug or the external application of any substance (irritant, counterirritant, or similar substance) which could affect the animal’s performance or alter its natural contour, confirmation, or appearance, except external applications of substances to the hoofs or horns of animals which affect appearance only and except for surgical procedures performed by a duly licensed veterinarian for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal, is prohibited.

6. The use of showing and/or handling practices or devices such as striking animals to cause swelling, using electrical contrivance, or other similar practices are not acceptable and are prohibited.

7. Direct criticism or interference with the judge, fair or livestock show management, other exhibitors, breed representatives, or show officials before, during, or after the competitive event is prohibited. In the furtherance of their official duty, all judges, fair and livestock show management, or other show officials shall be treated with courtesy, cooperation and respect and no personal shall direct abusive or threatening conduct toward them.

8. No owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible personal shall conspire with another person or persons to intentionally violate this code of ethics or knowingly contribute or cooperate with another person or persons either by affirmative action or inaction to violate this code of ethics. Violation of this rule shall subject such individual to disciplinary action.

9. The application of this code of ethics provides for absolute responsibility for an animal’s condition by an owner, exhibitor, fitter trainer, or participant whether or not he or she was actually instrumental in or had actual knowledge of the treatment of the animal in contravention of this code of ethics.

10. The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person to have disciplinary action taken by the fair or livestock show for violation of this Code of Show Ring Ethics and any other rules of competition of the fair or livestock show without recourse against the fair or livestock show. The act of

Exhibitors of animals at livestock show shall at all times deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship.

Their conduct in this competitive environment shall always reflect the highest standards of honor and dignity to promote the advancement of agricultural education. This code applies to junior as well as open class exhibitors who compete in structured classes of competition. This code applies to all livestock offered in any event at a livestock show. In addition to the “IAFE National Code of Show Ring Ethics”, fairs and livestock shows may have rules and regulations which they impose on the local, county, state, provincial and national levels.

All youth leaders working with junior exhibitors are under an affirmative responsibility to do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable acts. Their moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by their fine example. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers and absolutely responsible persons who violate the code of ethics will forfeit premiums, awards and auction proceeds and shall be prohibited from future exhibition in accordance with the rules adopted by the respective fairs and livestock shows. Exhibitors who violate this code of ethics demean the integrity of all livestock exhibitors and should be prohibited from competition at all livestock shows in the United States and Canada.

The following is a list of guidelines for all exhibitors and all livestock in competitive events: 1. All exhibitors must present, upon request of fair and livestock show officials, proof of ownership, length of ownership and age of all animals entered. Misrepresentation of ownership, age, or any facts relating thereto is prohibited.

2. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers, or absolutely responsible persons shall provide animal health certificates from licensed veterinarians upon request by fair or livestock show officials.

3. Junior exhibitors are expected to care for and groom their animals while at fairs or livestock shows.

4. Animals shall be presented to show events where they will enter the food chain free of violative drug residues. The act of entering an animal in a livestock show is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer and/or absolutely responsible person for show management to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing. Animals not entered in an event which culminated with the animal entering the food chain shall not be administered drugs other than in accordance with applicable federal, state and provincial statutes, regulations and rules. Livestock shall not be exhibited if the drugs administered in accordance with federal, state and provincial statues, regulations and rules affect the animal’s performance or appearance at the event.

Handy Horse description from Wikipedia A. The rider proceeds from the starting line around both barrels into limed square.

The judge /superintendent shall signify to the ring steward when the animal has all four hooves in the square. The ring steward shall start timing when he receives the signal from the judge/superintendent and give an audible signal to go to the rider when five (5) seconds have elapsed. If the animal steps on the square once the 5 seconds has started, the animal is disqualified.

B. When rider hears the “Go” signal, they exit the box and race across the finish line. The judge/superintendent should determine that the animal stays in square.

26. Rabies number and date must be listed in 4-H online.

OBEDIENCE

12. Exhibitor and dog experience determine class level. County Fair classes will match State Fair. Show scores will be used to determine class level along with experience of the exhibitor and dog. Years completed include the current year and all previous years a dog was shown. A qualifying score is achieved when an exhibitor earns 170 points (out of 200 points) or more and achieves 50% of the points or better for each exercise in his/her class. When an exhibitor achieves this standard he/she must advance to the next class with the exception of Novice B, Graduate Novice B and Open B. However, an exhibitor may advance to the next level without a qualifying score (see class description). An exhibitor who does not achieve a qualifying score may remain in the same class for the following year; the only exception to this is for Pre-Novice “A” exhibitors who must advance to Pre-Novice “B” the next year.

1. Entries in this division are open to purebred or mixed breed dogs which are owned by the exhibitor or in partnership with parent or guardian. In all cases, the dog is to have been trained, cared for and managed by the exhibitor.

2. Titled dogs may be entered only in classes above their title.

The exception is if the dog has earned the CD title during the current project year. That dog may be exhibited in 3005 (Novice B) and/or class 3006 or 3007. If a dog has earned its CDX within the current project year, that dog may be exhibited in class 3009 (Open B), 3010 and/or 3011. CD and CDX refer to American Kennel Club, United Kennel Club and/or AMBOR degrees.

3. There are no limits on the number of dogs exhibited. However, each dog may enter only one obedience class and each exhibitor may only enter one rally class.

13. This is NOT an AKC sanctioned dog show. AKC rules have been used as guidelines; however, some class descriptions may differ from AKC. It is recommended that youth attend an AKC show or obtain a copy of their rules prior to exhibiting. This will assist exhibitors in knowing and understanding some of the expectations of a dog show. In accordance with AKC guidelines, bating is not allowed. Any bating will result in a severe scoring penalty.

4. 4-H exhibitors may only have one entry in each obedience class.

Parents or leaders will not be allowed in the judging area to present these exhibits.

These projects will not be considered for: Iowa State Fair, Outstanding Exhibits, Top 4th Grade, or Creative Arts Tour 14. At no time will a parent or leader partake in the judging process.

Carnival Times

Warren County Fair Queen

Hello everyone! I am Emily Jensen the 2015 Warren County Fair Queen. I am the daughter of Richard and Sandi Jensen, sister to Shane and Andrew, and aunt to Braelyn.

The Warren County Fair is a great experience filled with memories and laughter that only comes once a year. In previous years, I enjoyed the fair by being a participant in Fine Arts events, observing the judging events and attending the Grand Stand Events. Last year I got to enjoy it even more by being the Warren County Fair Queen. Being Fair Queen, I was privileged to meet and work with great people while helping the Fair be the best it’s ever been. Also while being Fair Queen, I had the honor to represent Warren County at the Iowa State Fair. I met over one hundred Fair Queens during my experience in which we all shared memories that will last forever. These experiences I had being Fair Queen shaped me to be even more of the woman I am today and I am thankful for that.

6-10 p.m.

Wristband

Currently, I am waiting for my letter from Iowa State University College of Design to determine if I am accepted into my first choice program, Interior Design. During my time so far at Iowa State, I participated in the Iowa State Symphonic Band playing the flute and I am a member of the First Year Honors Program. Through my busy life I have one major goal in mind which is to complete my college career graduating from Iowa State University with Honors.

—Sunday— Wristband 1-5 p.m.

Tickets Only 6-10 p.m.

Before I started my new life at Iowa State, I graduated from Norwalk High School. While at Norwalk I was involved in the color guard, marching band, concert band, girls’ soccer team, the bowling team, yearbook, National Honor Society, and Norwalk’s School Improvement Advisory Committee for Special Education. Outside of high school, I also participated in dance (lyrical and pointe) and competition baton twirling.

Besides these activities, for over a year I worked two part-time jobs: Crossroads Kids Preschool in Norwalk and Bath & Body Works in Des Moines.

2017 Dates Wednesday, July 26 through

Monday, July 31

In addition, I have been a member of Girl Scouts since first grade and now a lifetime member. While being involved in Girl Scouts, I was given opportunities that helped me be a better community member. One of these opportunities was completing my Gold Award by landscaping my newly rebuilt church, St. Paul Lutheran Church in Martensdale, which had been destroyed by a fire a few years earlier.

2018 Dates Wednesday, July 25 through

Monday, July 30

One of my biggest hopes when running for Fair Queen was to become a role model for young girls and women. I am at a new chapter in my life were my eyes are open to new things and the world around me. I would encourage everyone to be involved in their community, be yourself, and be open to new opportunities.

Breakfast 6:30 Monday morning sponsored by the

Bowlin Family

Lastly and most importantly, I would like to thank the Warren County Fair board and all of those that made this such a wonderful experience I will never forget!
