Welcome to the 59th Annual Last Chance Stampede & Fair

Helena, Montana

Thank you for participating!

The Last Chance Stampede has been a Helena tradition for over fifty years. Since then, thousands of items have been exhibited by many Helena and Lewis and Clark County residents. It is a great way to showcase your talents in cooking, crafting, photography, agriculture, quilting, sewing, plants, youth and adult art, and food, just to name a few… Once again, we have joined with the Extension Office and 4-H. We have also changed some classes in some departments. All of our Indoor Fair Departments, 4-H and Commercial Exhibitors will be located in the 36,000 square foot Exhibit Hall. Fair will close on Saturday night with only the carnival running on Sunday. We extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who has exhibited in the past and look forward to working with new exhibitors for this years’ Fair.

Special Premium Awards All-Around Best of Show: $50 Sponsored by Carol Higgins

Youth Best of Show: $25 Sponsored by Napa Auto, Lonnie Davis Adult Best of Show: $25 Montana Long Arm, Donna Birstow

General Rules for Flowers: 1. LIMIT- 2 Entries per class per Exhibitor. 2. Exhibits shall contain the Exhibitor’s name on a piece of tape on the bottom of the container. 3. All exhibits must be clean. 4. Replacement Cut Flowers are encouraged on Thursday before 11:00 a.m. 5. IF USING OASIS in your bouquets, be sure it is below the surface of the water. Oasis acts like a wick

and dries out the stems.

Cutting and hardening of plant material. If plant material is to hold up through the exhibition period, it must be cut no later than the day before it is to be judged. Cutting should be done about 4 pm, since at that time there is the greatest amount of sugar in the leaves, and as soon as the Department C flowers are plunged into water, they take up enough to overcome any apparent temporary wilting. Plunging stems into warm water, then set in a cool room, out of any draft and let the water cool to room temperature. This enables the flowers to regain their turgidity and last much longer. Cut stems cleanly at an angle with a sharp knife and place at once in deep water. Flowers should be kept in deep water 8-12 hours or overnight. All foliage that is below the waterline should be removed. Foliage to be used in arrangements, such as hosta, vegetable leaves, canna, peony, etc., should be clean; any broken, diseased or disfigured foliage or petals removed. Flowers or branches with wood stems, such as Phlox, Stocks, Chrysanthemums, should be split, crushed or pounded before being placed in deep water. Dahlias should be picked at daybreak with long stem, placed first in cold water and then into hot water and placed in a dark, cool place during the day. An exhibitor should pay close attention to grooming all exhibits by removing all dirt, spray residue, dead leaves and blooms.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Some Characteristics of good photos

Good Composition - use the rule of thirds; include

only what’s necessary; subject should be obvious and dominate the photo; avoid background and foreground distractions; use best shooting angle; be in focus; balance all the elements included in the photo

Good Lighting – no over or under exposed photos; soft light better than harsh light; avoid lens glare; early

morning and early evening light produces best light for outdoor photos.

High Impact - photo immediately pulls the viewer in

and holds their attention

Color Saturation – no washed out colors – keep

colors rich and vibrant Attention to Detail – get rid of all distraction in your

photo. Pay attention to everything that you are including in your photo before you take it. If it is not necessary, leave it out. The same is true when cropping your photo– crop out anything that distracts from the main subject.

Descriptions: Macro – photo taken with a macro or close up lens with a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio. Babies and Children - photos of babies and children that capture their personality. Creative - utilize a variety of methods that alter the original photo in some way ie: adding textures and patterns, multiple exposures, paint color on black and white, or any other creative technique.

24

Flowers - photos can be either wildflowers or cultivated flowers. Scenic – a scene such as landscape, seascape, cityscape, etc. without people. Insects, Bees and Butterflies - Insects, bees or butterflies should be the main subject in your photo. Planes, Trains, Automobiles – photos depicting mechanical modes of transportation. Nostalgia – represents the quality of a time past, often containing antiques and old objects. Pets - photos that capture the personality of your pet. Portraits - can be high school seniors, individuals, couples, or families. Before and After – photo entry must show both the original Before photo as a 4x6 and the After photo as an 8x10 and both on an 11x14 digital format to produce one final print done with video editing software such as Lightroom or Photoshop. Architecture – photos of buildings, bridges, towers and man-made structures. Wildlife - photos of wild animals and birds in their natural habitat. No zoo photos. Weather - rain, hail, storm clouds, rainbows, lightening, floods, hurricanes, Borealis, Milky Way, etc. Hodge Podge – a quality photo that does not fit any of the above categories.

LINE-UP LOCATION: 10 AM at the Women’s Park on the corner of Fuller & Neill Aves. The drop off point will be at Women’s Park. Horses will unload at the south side of the Front Street Learning Center. No manure shall be left behind please. PARADE ROUTE: The parade will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m. from Women’s Park through the alley behind the Livery Travel building, down Last Chance Gulch to 6

th Ave. where the walking mall starts. Please pick up your children there and return to

Women’s Park for the picnic. PICNIC: A picnic will be provided after the completion of the parade at WOMEN’S PARK. Due to the growth of the parade, we must ask that any adults/sponsors with the kids make their own arrangements for lunch. If we have anything left over after feeding the children, we certainly will make it available to others. The $1.00 fee per child does not go very far when feeding up to 600 children. AWARDS: Upon completion of the judging and decisions of the judges, we will present the awards at the site of the picnic. There will be two awards per category. Please be patient again as, with the growth of the parade, this process is not easy and it does take time. Remember, those entries in the lead will be done well before the entries at the end begin. CATEGORIES & JUDGING: The judges will be located along the parade route and roaming among the children at the lineup location. Entries will be judged in the following categories:

Walkers - Individuals or small groups of children up to a maximum of five (5) kids

Groups - Entries with more than five (5) children. This category would include non-motorized floats, organizational groups, or simply five (5) or more friends wanting to walk together.

Riders - Individuals on bikes, trikes, scooters, wagons, and power wheels. NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES (NOT HORSES)

Marching Units - Individuals or groups such as drill teams, dance groups, musical groups etc.

Daycares - This category can include any child care facility that wishes to be judged as the facility rather than a simple group of unrelated children. In other words, if a child care facility sponsors and is responsible for the group of children while they are in the parade, they belong in this Daycare category.

Horses - More than one ridden, horse-drawn entry or livestock.

Horse - Single ridden, horse-drawn entry or livestock.

***SPECIAL AWARDS***

CHAIRMAN’S AWARD - Entry judged to exhibit the most individual or group effort in the preparation and showmanship of the entry. This entry may or may not be a category winner. Complaints/Questions- Only the Chairmen or the Chairmen’s designated representative will entertain these. All consideration will be given to any question, problem or complaint, but all decisions will be based on the safety and well-being of the child, children or group of children.
