2016 Nicola Valley Fall Fair Entries Catalogue

Welcome to the 2016 Nicola Valley Fall Fair!

As you may or may not be aware, the Nicola Valley Fall Fair Association has been in operation in the Nicola Valley for over 100 years.

We look forward to seeing even more participants in 2016. This massive undertaking would not be possible without the many hours of work from innumerable dedicated volunteers as well as support from our local business community. Volunteers are always welcome and we have many volunteer opportunities for all ages, even one hour of help is appreciated.

The Fall Fair Association encourages participation from all age groups: from children in kindergarten to seniors. The Fair encompasses hobbies, home crafts, flowers, baking, canning, fruits, vegetables, forage and crops, wine, fine arts, photography, poultry, pigeons, rabbits, cavies, hamsters, dairy goats, sheep and swine.

As some of you well know we have been having Giant Yard Sales at the Fair Building over the past several summers. We have been raising funds to enable us to have the water and sewer lines installed up to the building, we hope to accomplish this summer. Our next step will be to fund raise to build washroom facilities.

We are selling bricks at $10.00 each, available from any fair member or at H&R Block, 2145 Quilchena Avenue.

HINTS FOR EXHIBITORS • • • • •

First and foremost, if you are an exhibitor, be a good sport.

Be on time with your exhibits. The criticism of the public for a show not opening on time is often aimed at the judges, when in fact, it is the fault of the late exhibitors.

Follow the schedule explicitly. If the rules or schedule are not clear, obtain a ruling before the show, not after.

(Read the Schedule carefully).

Do not blame the show committee if they fail to bring to your attention that you have entered the wrong number of specimens in a class. It is your responsibility, not theirs.

Label your entry with the correct cultivar (variety) name even though the schedule may not ask for it. This adds to the educational value of the show.

Blooms should be tight together up the stem so stem does not show - blooms should be evenly balanced on both sides of the stem.

• If at all possible, please bring flowers in your own jars and sized appropriately, ie: Glads and other tall flowers in carafes. We do have some jars.

• Try to get as long a stem as possible for showing roses, dahlias, glads, asters, etc. The longer the stem, the better they show.

• There should be no leaves appearing below the water line.

• If a class says 3 flowers, make sure there are no buds. A bud showing colour is considered a bloom and is then disqualified due to too many flowers. If picked at night before show, it has a great possibility of becoming partially open, ie: petunias, dahlias, asters, roses etc.

• All plants should be clean and tidy. No dead leaves or debris in the pot or on the plant. Please remove dust. Loosen soil with a fork.

• African Violets must be a single crown unless they belong to the trailing class.

Cut flowers Class no.
