4-H Building Set-Up & Clean-Up

Fair Set-Up - It is mandatory for clubs to send members to set-up on Tuesday. The clubs that are on for clean-up are not expected to help with set-up.

Fair Clean-Up - The clubs for this year are: Full-o-Pep & Warsaw Willing Workers. Club members should be prepared to tear down the display areas after the release of exhibits. We still encourage everyone to help. The more help we have, the faster we get everything put away!

REMEMBER that any competition has its risks.

Everyone cannot be the top winner. others may have had more skills, time, advice, or money in preparing their exhibits. You compete against these unknowns and take your chances. If your exhibit helped you learn something you wanted to learn more about or if it is something that you or your family can use, then you are a winner no matter what ribbon you receive! So sit back, talk to the judges like they’re a good friend, and have fun at the county fair!

IAFE NATIONAL CODE OF SHOW RING ETHICS

Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows 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. 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.

Animals not entered in an event which culminates with the animal entering the food chain shall not be administered drugs other than in accordance with the 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. If the lab 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 too 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 from 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 was taken, 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. *The MN State Fair allows exceptions in breeding classes for sound management practices such as mastitis or pneumonia.

5. Any surgical procedure or injection of any foreign substance/drug or the external application of any substance (irritant, counterirritant, or similar substance) which affect the animal's performance or alter its natural contour, confirmation or appearance, except external applications of substances to 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.

July 16-21, 2019

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 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 the 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 the 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.

PARENTS…HOW CAN I HELP MY 4-H’ER?

one of the best places to start is by asking your children if they understand why they did the steps and procedures they followed in their projects. Answer any questions they may have about their projects. Then practice a conference judging experience with a parent or leader playing the role of judge. Ask questions such as those listed above. on the day of conference judging, parents can help their children feel comfortable with the judge by encouraging them prior to judging. Answering the judge’s questions for the children will not help your children feel more comfortable or help them learn more about the project. This is the 4-H’ers chance to “shine” and be proud of their achievements. After judging, tell your children how proud you are of them.

Focus on what they learned rather than what ribbon they got.

State Judging Task Force

YOUTH…PREPARING FOR JUDGING

It’s time for the county fair, and you have to take part in this thing called conference judging. Don’t think “I can’t do this.” Really, it’s quite simple and with a little advance planning you’ll do just fine.

Rice County Fair

Page 41

What is conference judging?

A 4-H member sits down with the judge and talks with them about the 4-H exhibit. Judges will award ribbon and placing according to the exhibitor’s knowledge about the exhibit (50%), the quality of the exhibit (25%) and educational value (25%).

How do you prepare for conference judging?

Before the county fair, sit down and answer the following questions about your exhibit(s). It’s okay to have a family member help you and it’s good practice! Be sure to practice talking loudly and clearly so you can be understood.

What will the judge ask?

Next, the judge will ask a series of questions about your exhibit, but not necessarily these exact questions. These sample questions are meant to help you prepare. Also, some judges may simply say “tell me about your project” and expect you to tell them all about the exhibit without asking specific questions.

• What is your name?

• How many years have you been in the project and 4-H? Sample Questions: It would be good to look at the curriculum from the project. Questions may be asked about what is in those materials.

• Why did you choose this idea/item as your exhibit?

• How did you make this exhibit?

• What choices did you make when putting this exhibit together?

• How much time, money, materials, efforts, and skill did you use to prepare this exhibit?

• Why did you organize this exhibit as you did?

• How much of the work did you do? Who helped you?

• Why is this a good birdhouse, garden box, etc.?

• Have you ever done anything like this before?

• What have you made in this project before?

• What did you learn by preparing this exhibit?

• What did you learn from mistakes you made?

• What other activities/exhibits could you do in this project?

• What jobs/careers are possible in this project area?

• How does it show originality?

Cloverbuds

Cloverbud members will go through the same experience as older 4-H members, so they should also prepare to talk to a judge about their exhibit.

Think of Cloverbud judging as simply having a conversation with an adult; there is no competition involved.

Animal Science/Livestock Exhibitors

Animal are judged during at the animal judging/show. Exhibits, posters, displays are judged during your assigned club time. Be prepared to answer the following during judging: • When was the animal born/hatched?

• What breed, sex and variety is the animal?

• Who are the dam/sire?

• When did it freshen? How long has and how much is it milking?

• How do you care for and feed your animal?

• What are some diseases it may get?

• Are there any required vaccinations for your project animal?

THURSDAY JULY 18TH • 8PM

FRIDAY JULY 19TH • 8PM

The Devon Worley Band was forged out of raw talent. Devon’s undeniable ability drew top-tier touring musicians to her side at a very early age. While every other teenage girl was hanging out at the mall snap chatting their boyfriends, Devon’s teenage years were spent paying dues, traveling with her band, and touring relentlessly across the heartland; playing just about every bar, fair and festival in the grain belt. Riding their own raw edge of country and rock, this band is turning heads and making waves, while bringing a brand new attitude to country music. Their passion for the live show, the audience and their fans is evident; and their talent undeniable.

One of the most promising country rock bands in the upper Midwest, The 8th Street Band are the very definition country rock. Telling stories of the everyday working men/women with voice and musicianship as honest as the words they are singing. Blending country, rock, soul and blues to build a sound that is familiar yet completely their own, It is no wonder this group of seasoned pros have built one of the largest followings in their region and beyond. Chad Johnson and Russell Franek have been playing music together since the 7th grade. They learned at a young age the beauty of playing a variety of music, and they allowed themselves to be inspired by many different genres.
