Farm Antiques

We would like to offer you this opportunity to add to our popular display of old farm tools and equipment. These items give the “seasoned veterans” of the vocation a time to reminisce about the “good old days” and are a source of great interest to the younger fair goers. All smaller items are displayed in a building which is supervised during the day and locked at night. SMALL TOOLS – Any small hand tools, toys, toy displays, lawnmowers, sickles, scythes, wrenches, hammers, etc. GAS ENGINES – Water pumps, feed grinders, generators, wood saws, any small engine. People love to stop and see them run. A loader will be available to help with unloading and loading. TRACTORS – gas, diesel or steam. Bring them for the fair parade and you can leave them in a building until they are displayed for the fair.

CODE OF SHOW RING ETHICS

As developed by I.A.F.E

Exhibitors of animals at all times deport

themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship.

Their conduct in the competitive environment shall

always reflect the highest standards of honor and

- 31 -

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 show 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 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 culminates

with the he animal entering the food chain shall not

be administered drugs other than in accordance with

applicable federal, state and provincial statues,

regulations and rules affect the animal’s

performance or appearance in the event.

If the laboratory report on the analysis of

saliva, urine, blood or other sample taken from

livestock indicates the presence of forbidden drugs

or medications, this shall be prima facie evidence

such substance has been administered to the animal

either internally or externally. It is presumed that

- 32 -

the sample of urine, saliva, blood or other

substance tested by the laboratory to which it was

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 of 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 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 officials shall be treated with

courtesy, cooperation and respect and no person

shall direct abusive or threatening conduct toward

them.

8. 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 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.

- 33 -

10. The act of entering an animal is the giving of

consent by the owner, exhibitor, trainer, fitter 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 entering an animal is the giving

of consent that any proceedings or disciplinary

action taken by the fair or livestock show may be

published with the name of the violator or violators

in any publication of the International Association

of Fairs and Expositions, including Fairs and

Expositions and any special notices to members.

11. The act of entering of an animal in a fair or

livestock show is the giving of verification by the

owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer or absolutely

responsible person that he or she has read the IAFE

National Code of Show Ring Ethics and understands

the consequences of and penalties provided for

actions prohibited by the code. It is further a

consent that any action, which contravenes these

rules and is also in violation of federal, state or

provincial statues, regulations, or rules may be

released to appropriate law enforcement authorities

with jurisdiction over such infractions.

Judging will be in the Grove

Bring buckets outside the floral hall:

Tuesday, July 17 - 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Title: "Barnyard Bloomers"

The colors red, yellow and white should

be used to express the theme of Barnyard

Bloomers. Fill a five gallon bucket to be

used as decorations around the

Fairgrounds after the judging. Use

plants. Hint: fill bottom of bucket with

pieces of broken Styrofoam, empty water

bottles or pop cans upside down with

potting soil on top. Be sure to have

drainage holes in bucket. Do not water

your bucket shortly before bringing them

to the fairgrounds. They will all be

watered after the judging, and every day

of the fair. Buckets weighing over 30

pounds will not be judged. The weight

will be “Strictly” enforced this year.

Buckets should probably be started a few

weeks before the Fair. Buckets can be

painted and decorated to show the theme.

Accessories may be used, in or on the

bucket. Keep in mind the buckets will be

on display around the fairgrounds during

the fair. Do not use valuable

accessories.

Put age of youth on entry tag for List #4
