WELCOME The Place to be Seen in 2013 Minnesota’s BIGGEST county fair, the Steele County Free Fair, opens August 13 and runs thru August 18 in Owatonna, Minnesota. There will be over 7,000 exhibits including 200 animals and over 100 food stands. There are over 500 commercial displays of which over 300 are indoors. Gold Star Amusements will provide a spectacular midway agin this year bringing in 40 rides. Admission to the fair is free and there will be plenty of free entertainment for all ages. Look for musical entertainment on the United Prairie Bank Stage in Fair Square Park, the KRFO Stage and the Village of Yesteryear Stage. Come and relax as singers, dancers and bands representing every musical taste perform. The fair Beer Garden is featuring a slate of bands that will provide great entertainment for fairgoers. Bands being featured this year include Arch Allies (Tuesday evening), Lost Highway (Wednesday evening), Rhino (Thursday evening), Wide Load (Friday afternoon), Good For Gary (Friday evening), Tim Penny (Saturday afternoon), Smokescreen (Saturday evening), Dan Stursa (Sunday afternoon), Vinyl Vault (Sunday evening). The Human Cannonball is back! David Smith Senior, who was last featured in a human cannonball shot on the midway has retired, however, we are happy to anounce that David Smith Junior will be featured in the free act on the Gold Star Midway. Smith will be shot from the cannon over the midway twice daily. The Gooseman is also coming back. Paul Messerschmidt and the “Puddle Jumpers”, a flock of geese that follow him all around the fairgrounds, will again be strolling at the fair all week. A musical tradition at the fair is Luverne Wanous and his Musicmobile. Luverne and his concertina will be entertaining fairgoers all week for the 64th year! His band will also be featured on the KRFO Stage on Sunday afternoon. The “Old Iron Show” located near the Village of Yesteryear, will again feature a unique display of antique tractors and machinery. A full week of grandstand entertainment has been
scheduled for the 2013 fair. Tuesday night, it’s the ever popular Bull Riding, Wednesday, Motocross Racing, Thursday it’s Hairball in concert, Friday is the TractorTruck Pull, Saturday is the Enduro Race and Sunday the grand finale is the Demolition Derby. There will also be an antique tractor pull on Saturday morning at 9:00. There will be two Kid’s Days on Wednesday and Friday. Special prices on the Gold Star Midway will be featured. A free Kid’s Day show will be held both mornings at 11:00 in Fair Square Park. Wednesday’s show will feature “In Capable Hands”, a unique juggling act. Some lucky kids will have a chance to participate in the show. Friday’s show will feature our old friend Ronald McDonald, followed by a presentation of amphibians from Rad Zoo in Owatonna. There will be daily ride specials on the Gold Star Midway. The popular Mega-Ride tickets will be available prior to the fair which entitles the holder to unlimited midway rides all during fair week. Mega-Ride tickets sell for $45.00 and must be purchased by 5:00 p.m. August 13. They are only available at Hy-Vee foods in Owatonna. Inductees into the Steele County Livestock Hall of Fame and the Equine Hall of Fame will be recognized on Tuesday afternoon.

Months of planning have taken place in preparation for this year’s fair. Dan Deml, fair board president, thanks all of the sponsors, contributors and volunteers for making this great fair possible. It’s the Place to be Seen in 2013!

Steele County Free Fair
2013
EXHIBITOR ENTRIES The Steele County Free Fair is requesting that all exhibitors pre-enter their exhibits. The fair is using a computer system to tabulate results and write checks. Use of the computer requires pre-entry. Please use the entry form in the fair book or request forms from the fair office. You can choose to do entries on-line. This option allows you to submit your entries electronically or you may print out the form and send it to your Superintendent. This fair book is also on the web site scff.org. You do not have to bring every entry you preentered. Check your department's rules and entry deadlines found in the fair book. If your department does not have a deadline, please have your entry to your superintendent, or electronically submitted to the fair office by August 1. All exhibits are to be left in place until your department's rules allow the exhibit to be released. Only under extreme circumstances and then only with your superintendent's approval can an exhibit be released early. Failure to comply with these rules will result in forfeiture of any premium money
earned. One of the main reasons many come to the fair is to see the exhibits. Empty exhibit areas discourage visitors from coming to our fair for a return visit. Attention livestock exhibitors: Look for information on parking and other aspects of the livestock shows by looking carefully at your department's entry information. Parking is always changing from year to year as we struggle with the problem of how to accommodate the exhibitor and the fair visitor. Please obey the signs we put up as we try to manage parking, traffic and people flow. Remember, the Village of Yesteryear gate is only used as an exit for livestock exhibitors as they move livestock to and from the grounds. Parking on the north side of the cattle and sheep barns is prohibited after noon on Sunday of the fair. We need this area cleared to load out livestock. Remembering others and their needs as well as your own will make this a safe and enjoyable fair for all.
ONLINE ENTRIES Again this year, you will be able to enter your various exhibits on line. No need to send them or bring them to the fair office. You simply go the fair’s web site scff.org and select the link for on-line entries. You will then create an account by entering your e-mail address and selecting a password as you would with other on-line services. Fill out your
entries by using the correct class and lot on the screens provided. When you are done you can pay any stalling fees or other purchases you might make (parking or grandstand tickets) with your credit card. Submit the information and you are done. Try this service, I think you will like it.
LIVESTOCK AND HORSE ENTRIES Livestock trailers can be parked on diamond 4, by the right field foul line. They can also be parked on the Jostens lot, south of the fairgrounds. This lot can be accessed by going South on Hartle Avenue approximately 1 block. Hartle Avenue is straight
south of the race track. Back the trailers on to the grass but leave your rear tires on the blacktop so the trailers can easily be pulled out without cutting up the grass in case of rain.

What began in 1965, has resulted in a new breed of Mustang skid steer loader; the R Series. These new radial-lift skid steer loaders are setting a new industry standard. With advanced hydraulics, state-of-the-art engines and an upgraded operators station, these new members of the Mustang herd come ready to work, just as they did 125 years ago.

Where a sum of premium money is to be paid out pro-rata the apportionment shall be according to the merits of the individual exhibits.
Exhibitors from any part of the United States may compete for premiums.
Special premiums may be offered by interested persons for entries which conform to the general classification of the fair association.
Stock and articles must be entered in the name of the bona fide owners, and grain, vegetables, fruit, dairy products and domestic manufactures must have been raised or made by exhibitors thereof during the past year.
If the fair receipts prove insufficient to meet all demands, the society reserves the right to first pay all bonafide expenses of the fair and pay premiums with the balance on hand.
Every article in competition must correspond in number and description with the premium list and be in its proper class, in order to obtain premiums. No change or alteration will be permitted after the books are placed in the hands of the judges.

The management will consider it a kindness if persons will report any mistreatment or extortion practiced by any employee or vendor at the fair. They also ask for immediate information regarding any questionable or demoralizing privilege. Do not wait until the fair is over to make complaint; report it immediately. It is the aim of the management to have a moral, clean fair, which will commend the support of the entire community. No pets are allowed on fairgrounds other than service animals.

An exhibitor may make a protest to the superintendent of the division at the time of the award, who may then require the judge to give reasons for such placing.

2013
2013
Steele County Free Fair 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 j unior exhibitors are under an affirmative responsibility to do more than avoid improper conduct or q uestionable 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 degrade the integrity of all livestock exhibitors and should be prohibited from competition at all livestock shows in the U nited States and Canada. The following is a list of guidelines for all exhibitors and all livestock in competitive events: A. All exhibitors must present, upon req uest of fair and livestock show officials, proof of ownership, length of ownership, and age of all animals entered.

J unior exhibitors are expected to care for and groom their animals while at fairs or livestock shows. D. 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 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 culminates 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. If the laboratory reports 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 q uestion, 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 q uestion 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. E. Any surgical procedure or inj ection 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, conformation, 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 F. 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. G. Direct criticism or interference with the j udge, 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 j udges, fair and livestock show management, or other show officials shall be treated with courtesy, cooperation, and respect. No person shall direct abusive or threatening conduct toward them. H. No owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person 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 subj ect such individual to disciplinary action. I. 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

RELEASE TIME: Horses leave the grounds on Friday, August 16 after the Horse Show (approximately 12 Noon – 2 PM). 4. EXHIBIT LIMITS: Two horses per exhibitor can be shown at the County Fair, but only one horse entered per event. A third, training horse only, may be exhibited with permission from the Extension Office. To help with stalling, members should write on their County Fair Exhibit Registration forms if they will be showing one or two horses. Each exhibitor is limited to showing in only one of the six western horsemanship classes, only one of the six western pleasure classes, only one English Eq uitation class, and only one English Pleasure class. This includes anyone entering walk-trot classes. 5. SHOW PRE-REQUISITES: In order to show a horse at the County Fair show, a child must attend at least five horse related activities in 2012 which must include a minimum of two Monday night training sessions. At least one of these two must include active participation with one of your identified horses. 4-Hers in grade 12 or above, with at least two years 4-H experience, may either attend Monday training sessions or assist with two 4-H Horse related activities. Other horse related activities that will fulfill this req uirement besides Monday evening trainings might be horse j udging practices, private lessons, youth horse shows or open shows. Attendance will be taken at the Monday evening training, but 4-Hers are responsible for letting horse committee members know what other training activities they have participated in. 6. HELMET POLICY: All 4-Hers participating in ANY 4-H sponsored mounted activity (including training and shows) are req uired to wear properly fastened ASTM/ SEI approved protective headwear. Helmet use is req uired when mounted. The policy extends to 4-H volunteers when they are working with 4-H youth in a 4-H volunteer role during mounted activities. Cloverbuds, mounted or not, must wear a helmet at all practices and shows. 7. EXERCISING HORSES: Horses will be exercised in the arena only. Riding in the open arena is permissible until 10:30 PM on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Helmets, boots, and long pants must be worn during the exercise time. Parents and other non 4-H members are not allowed to exercise or work out a 4-Her’ s horse. 8 . ELIGIBLE HORSES: All horses shown must be identified on the MN 4-H Horse ID form and on record at
the Extension Office. The age of the horse shall be computed on the basis of a calendar year starting on J anuary 1 of the year foaled; it is a weanling during the calendar year in which foaled, and a yearling during the first calendar year following its foaling date, regardless of the time of the year foaled. Only mares and geldings, regardless of age, will be allowed at County Fair. Y earling and older stallions are ineligible as 4-H proj ects. Mare with foal at side will be allowed to exhibit with prior approval. 9 . RIDING ATTIRE: Only Western attire and eq uipment is allowed in Games classes. No chaps are allowed in horsemanship. Walk-trot classes may be done in either Western or English attire. 10. WALK-TROT: Walk-Trot classes are open to all ages. Rider can enter in either Beginner Rider Walk-Trot or Advanced Rider Walk-Trot, but not both. Beginner is for youth who have never won in a j udged riding horse class. Animals will be shown at a walk and trot with top exhibitor determined by points earned. Once an exhibitor and horse combo wins a walk-trot class, they go into an advanced walk-trot or loping j udged class except that a Beginner Rider Walk-Trot exhibitor can go to the Advanced Rider Walk-Trot class instead if they are not yet ready for a loping j udged class. Rider may stay in advanced walk-trot class until they are comfortable with moving into loping class. No State Horse Show trips or counted points are available for walk-trot classes. If horse-rider combination shows in any walk-trot class, that horse-rider combination is ineligible to show in a loping j udged class. 11. HORSE TRAINING: Training evaluations are only open to 4-Hers who are actively enrolled in and working on the step-by-step 4-H Training Program as outlined in the 4-H Training Guide and Workbook. The horse used in the Training class can be of any age but cannot have had any prior training beyond halter breaking and lunging and cannot have been ground driven or ridden when training began. The 4-Her must be enrolled in both the Horse proj ect and the Horse Training proj ect, must begin at Step 1 and follow step by step in both the Achievement Program workbook and in the Horse Training Program workbook and must bring both workbooks to County Fair on the testing day. Members must receive a passing score of 70% or above to be eligible for a State Horse Show trip. Depending on the number of 4-Hers enrolled in this program; one or two State Horse Show trips could be awarded. 12.

Events include breakaway roping, team roping, calf roping and cutting, team penning, goat tying and horse and cow events.
