LINCOLN COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The purpose of a county fair is to provide an opportunity for community members and youth organization
members to display items (exhibits) they have made and to have them judged. The whole fair
experience is intended to help exhibitors, especially youth, gain a sense of accomplishment, self-worth,
and responsibility.
The Fair Board is elected by the Lincoln County Fair Association. The Fair Board conducts, manages,
and controls the affairs and business of the annual fair. If you are interested in becoming a member of
the Lincoln County Fair Association, please go to our website www.lincolncofair.com or call the Fair
Office at 715-536-5212.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Here’s what you need to know to enter an item at the fair
(County Rules & Regulations)
WHO CAN ENTER AN EXHIBIT AT THE FAIR?
All exhibitors must be residents of Lincoln County or actively involved in a Lincoln County educational
organization.
HOW DO I ENTER AN EXHIBIT?
1.
Read the general rules:
a.
By submitting an entry form, any person entering exhibits agrees to abide by the rules and
regulations relative to entries, exhibits, judging, payment of premiums, and general conduct of
the Lincoln County Fair. Exhibits must be entered by individuals--not a group or business
name--except where the exhibit is a group project, such as a school exhibit or club booth.
b.
All exhibits must have been raised, grown, or made by the exhibitor since August 1 of the year
preceding the exhibit year unless otherwise specified. The Lincoln County Fair Association
recommends 4-H’ers own the animals and projects they exhibit at the fair. Adults are
encouraged to provide guidance and support in teaching youth as they prepare their exhibits
for the fair. However, they should not actually prepare the exhibit for the youth. Remember,
these are youth exhibits, and we want to keep them learning experiences for the youth.
c.
It is recommended that brand names of products not show on posters or other exhibits except
where omitting them would detract from the final effect.
d.
The Lincoln County Fair Association will not be responsible for personal injury or accident
sustained by an exhibitor or volunteer worker. The Association will not be responsible to pay
for damages or loss to any exhibit, but will exercise every possible precaution in safeguarding
exhibits. Exhibitors will be held responsible for any damage or accident which may be caused
by their entries.
Please also read the Junior and Open Exhibitors Code of Conduct and Exhibition Agreement
printed on page 5. There are also some specific rules for animal exhibitors in the Animal Exhibitor
Guide beginning on page 7 and there may be specific rules for departments that are included in the
department listing.
2.
Determine which division(s)/department(s) you can enter. The handbook is divided into two
major divisions--Junior and Open. Each division is divided into specific departments. Departments
are broken down into classes, and within the classes are lot numbers, which are the individual
items that can be exhibited.
4
Junior Division - All exhibitors in this division must be members of Lincoln County 4-H, FFA, FHAHERO, Scouting programs, or other recognized youth organizations under adult leadership and
with an approved educational program.
4-H members may exhibit in Junior Division only in the projects in which they are actively
enrolled. If a member is enrolled in more than one level of a project, that member can
exhibit only in the more advanced level (for example, a member is enrolled in Levels 2 and 3
of Foods & Nutrition; that member can exhibit only in Level 3). The deadline for new members
to join 4-H and still be able to exhibit at the fair in Junior Division is March 1. The last date to
change (add or drop) a project is May 1st. Check with the UW-Extension Office for further
information. Exhibitors in other youth organizations may exhibit only in those areas that are
covered by education gained in the organization.
Open Division - All exhibitors in this division must be residents of Lincoln County or actively
involved in a Lincoln County educational organization.
Junior Division exhibitors may also exhibit in Open Division for premiums as long as it is
not the same type of item or article as exhibited in the Junior Division; for example, Junior
Division exhibitors cannot exhibit chocolate chip cookies or carrots from their garden in both Junior
and Open Divisions. Junior Division exhibitors may not exhibit the same type of animals in both
Junior and Open Divisions.
Senior Class - There is a special division in several of the departments in Open Division for
those who are 62 years of age and over. There is no longer a Sr. Citizen’s Department (62).
See Page 180 of this handbook for more information.
3.
Obtain an entry form. Entry forms are available at the UW-Extension Office, 801 North Sales
Street, Suite 101, Merrill, or at the Tomahawk Annex in Tomahawk. This handbook is also
available on the fair website, along with the entry form. See www.lincolncofair.com for the
handbook and entry form information. Please be sure to make a copy of your entry form before
handing it in. You will not receive a copy with your entry tags.
4.
Fill out the form. Find the appropriate division in this handbook. Junior Division begins on page
27; Open Division begins on page 151. All exhibits must be entered in the correct department,
class, and lot number or they may be disqualified by department chairpersons and/or judges. Only
one item can be exhibited per lot number unless specified. This means that even though you
may have painted two watercolor pictures, or crocheted two afghans, or baked two chocolate
cakes, you can enter only one of each. If you have questions about a specific department, contact
the chairperson listed at the beginning of the department and on page 3. If you have other
questions, contact Cindi Christiansen at 715-536-5212.
Specific directions to fill out the entry form are on page 11.
5.
ENTRY DEADLINE: JUNE 15, 2015. Completed entry forms must be in the Lincoln County
Fair Office (on the fairgrounds) by 4:30 p.m. on June 15 or postmarked by that date--no late
entries will be accepted. Entry forms will not be faxed to people nor will they be accepted if
faxed. Entry forms can be mailed to: Lincoln County Fair, P.O. Box 921, Merrill, WI 54452.
Between May 1st and June 15th, entry forms can be dropped off at the UW-Extension Office, 801 N.
Sales Street, Suite 101, Merrill. Entry forms can be dropped off at the fair office between 10am
and 4:30 pm on June 13th and 14th.
5
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I TURN IN MY ENTRY FORM?
The entry forms are organized and processed. Information is printed for each item entered. This
information, along with other fair information, is organized into a packet for each family. The packets are
available during the week prior to the fair as follows:
4-H CLUB MEMBERS - Your packets will be grouped by club to be picked up and distributed by the club
organizational leader. Club leaders can pick up the packets at the UW-Extension office in Merrill or the
Tomahawk Annex.
OTHER JUNIOR DIVISION EXHIBITORS - 4-H non-club members, FFA members, Scouts, etc., must
pick up their own packets at the UW-Extension Office or Tomahawk Annex during the week prior to the
fair.
OPEN DIVISION - You can pick up your packet at the UW-Extension Office, 801 N. Sales Street, Suite
101, Merrill, or the Tomahawk Annex during the week prior to the fair depending on what you specified
on your entry form. If you specified a 4-H club, the information will be sent along with that club’s
packets. If a family has both 4-H exhibitors and open division exhibitors, the packet will be included with
the 4-H club’s information.
When you get your exhibit information, check to make sure it is accurate for each of your entries.
Do not lose your entry tags. They will not be re-printed.
The photo animal identification form used last year will not be required this year.
WHEN SHOULD I BRING MY ENTRIES TO THE FAIR?
Exhibits that have been registered by the entry deadline date will be checked in at the respective
departments on Wednesday as follows:


Livestock Barn Animals: 8 a.m. - 7 p.m. (It would be helpful for animals to be in place by 3
p.m., if possible.)
All Other Exhibits (including poultry, rabbits, goats and exotics): 12 noon - 7 p.m.
Building information is located on page 81 so you know where to take your exhibits. Some exhibits in
Junior Division are judged face-to-face at specific time periods. Judging information is noted in
specific department listings and on pages 82-84. Exhibit buildings normally open at 10 a.m. unless there
is judging in that building that day. If there is judging, the building will open at 8:30 a.m. All Junior and
Open Division exhibition buildings will close at 10 p.m. each night of the fair.
HOW LONG DO I LEAVE MY EXHIBITS AT THE FAIR?
Exhibit Release Times:


Livestock barn animals and exhibits (not poultry and rabbits) may be released anytime after
5:30 p.m. on Sunday under the supervision of the Livestock Barn Superintendent. Note:
Parking of vehicles and trailers by the Livestock Barn will not be permitted until 5:30 p.m.
except by written permission of the Fair Board.
All other Junior and Open Division exhibits will be released between 6:30 - 8 p.m.
6
Exhibitors who remove their exhibits before the release time will forfeit all premiums. Some
departments may require exhibitors to bring the yellow copy of their entry form or the claim check from
the entry tags in order to claim exhibits. Non-animal exhibits not claimed by 8 p.m. will be brought to the
Fair Office. Perishable items such as food, cut flowers, vegetables, field crops, etc., will be disposed of
and only the entry tags and placing ribbons brought to the Fair Office. If these items are not picked up
at the Fair Office Sunday evening, they will be brought to the UW-Extension Office late Monday.
Arrangements must be made to pick up exhibits there within one week or they will be disposed of.
HOW ARE EXHIBITS JUDGED?
In order for a fair to receive state aid for premiums (prize money), the fair must follow specific
requirements as outlined in Chapter ATCP 160 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. Portions of this
code begin on page 6. Judges are hired to place the exhibits depending on the different type of judging
used. These judges are selected from a list of individuals who are registered with the state Department
of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection. No exhibit may be given a higher premium or rating than it
deserves in comparison to the standard for its class. Articles not deserving of a placing shall not receive
one. The judge’s decision is final. There are four different types of judging:
Danish Judging - In most departments of the Junior Division, the Danish system of judging is used. All
the entries in one lot number are arranged together so the judge can compare the items to a “standard”
and to the other entries. The judge then has to decide what placing (ribbon) to give each exhibit. The
judge must give the placings according to the Danish judging system (see chart below). The numbers in
parentheses show the number eligible for a placing if the maximum number is given in each placing. For
example, if there are 10 entries in a lot number, the judge can give only 2 blue ribbons (1st place), 3 red
ribbons (2nd place), 2 white ribbons (3rd place), and 3 pink ribbons (4th place). The judge does not
have to give the maximum number in each placing depending on the quality of the exhibits. In the
example of 10 entries, if the judge does not feel there are any that are worthy of a blue ribbon (1st
place), the judge may choose to give up to 5 red ribbons (2nd place) instead.
Face-to-Face Judging - This is another type of judging found in some areas of Junior Division. This
system was designed to make the fair and judging experience more educational for the exhibitors. For
face-to-face judging, exhibitors must be present at the time of judging and talk to the judge about their
entries. The judge gives the exhibitor

Conference Judging - This is

another type of judging done in Junior

Division. Basically it means several

discusses each exhibit with the

done by requiring all exhibitors in one

class to discuss their projects with the

judge at the same time. The Danish

guide is still used for placings. This is
the type of judging used mostly for the large animal departments.

Regular Judging - This is the type of judging used in Open Division, and in some areas in Junior
Division. In this case, the judge can select only one first-, one second-, one third-, and one fourth-place
exhibit among the items in that lot number, depending on whether the judge feels the exhibits are
worthy.
WHAT ARE PREMIUMS AND HOW DO I COLLECT ANY I HAVE EARNED ON AN EXHIBIT?
Unless otherwise specified, items that receive ribbons are eligible for cash awards called premiums,
which are also specified in the state guidelines. At and after the fair, judging sheets with the winning
exhibitor numbers are compiled. The placings for each exhibitor are totaled and checks are printed.
The checks are available at the UW-Extension Office, 801 N. Sales Street, Suite 101, Merrill, between
September 1 and October 31. Checks will not be mailed nor sent to the Tomahawk Annex for pickup
there. Any questions or discrepancies regarding checks must be handled by November 15, and checks
st
must be cashed by December 31 or they will be voided. Lost checks will not be replaced. Checks are
handled by division as follows:
Junior Division Checks - 4-H club members’ checks will be grouped by club and picked up by the club
organizational leader. Other Junior Division exhibitors (non-club members, FFA, etc.) must pick up their
own checks at the UW-Extension Office in Merrill.
Open Division - If your exhibitor packet was included with a 4-H club’s information, your premium check
will also be included with the club’s checks. Other Open Division exhibitors must pick their checks up
between September 1 and October 31 at the UW-Extension Office in Merrill.

Grievance Procedure
The purpose of this procedure is to provide an orderly method for resolving problems that may arise
concerning the exhibition of an item or animal or the conduct of an exhibitor at the Lincoln County Fair.
This procedure does not apply to judges' decisions--the judges are selected and hired by the fair to
make decisions and their decisions are final.
1.
Anyone who feels they have a basis for a grievance must submit this grievance in writing. A
grievance form is available by contacting the Fair Board administrative secretary. The grievance
must be submitted to the Fair Office (during the fair dates) or can be mailed to the Fair Office, P.O.
Box 921, Merrill, WI 54452 during non-fair dates as soon as possible or by August 31 of the fair
year.
2.
As soon as reasonably possible after the filing of a grievance, the Fair Board will provide the party
against whom the grievance has been filed with a copy of the grievance and an opportunity to
respond in writing to the grievance.
3.
A grievance committee consisting of two Fair Board directors appointed by the Fair Board
president, the department chairperson, and the department committee members will meet to review
the protest and any written response as soon as reasonably possible. At this meeting, the party
filing the grievance and the party against whom the grievance has been filed will be allowed 15
minutes each to orally present their views. Each party may have up to three witnesses speak
during their 15-minute initial presentation. Only the parties involved in the grievance and their
witnesses are allowed at the grievance committee meeting. Other family members or friends are
not allowed. If multiple grievances have been filed concerning the same or substantially the same
issues, the committee may limit oral presentations to avoid duplication and delays. Following the
initial presentations, each party will be allowed a 5-minute rebuttal period.
4.
After each party has the opportunity for a rebuttal period, members of the grievance committee will
have an opportunity to ask questions. They will then meet in closed session to make their decision,
and the decision will be announced in an open session.
5.
This procedure will be the exclusive procedure for the determination of grievances. Decisions of
the grievance committee are final and there shall be no right to review or appeal such decisions.

DIRECTIONS FOR FILLING OUT AN ENTRY FORM
SEE SECTION NUMBERS ON SAMPLE FORM BELOW
Section 1. All exhibitors must fill out this section. If you are
entering Junior or Open Division only, check the
appropriate square. If you are entering items for
premiums in both Junior and Open Divisions, check
the third square. You must fill out separate entry
forms for each division. Remember, you cannot
enter the same type of exhibit or animal in both
Junior and Open Divisions or in both Senior
Citizens classes and in other similar Open
Division classes.
Section 4. Fill in the Department, Class, Lot Number, and
Exhibit Description for each item you are entering.
You may enter only one item per lot number--this
means you cannot enter two chocolate cakes or
two pencil sketches, etc. If the exhibit description
in the fair book is too long, use the most important
words.
Section 5. If you have more than one page of entries in a
division, please number the pages. For example, if
you have 5 pages of Open Division entries, the first
page would be filled in as “Page 1 of 5.” The
second page would be “Page 2 of 5,” etc. Number
Junior and Open Division entry forms separately.
Section 2. For Junior Division exhibitors only - Fill in your
grade, age, and your club’s name (or Girl Scouts,
Merrill FFA, etc., as it applies).
Section 3. For Open Division exhibitors only - This section
is filled in by anyone entering Open Division. If you
are a senior citizen, check the first box. If you are
school age, check the box for the appropriate grade
level. Check where you plan to pick up your
exhibitor packet. If you want it to be included with a
club’s information for an organizational leader to
pick up, check this option and fill in the name of the
club. If you check this box for your exhibitor packet,
your premium check will also be sent with the club
checks. Note: Packets are organized per family. If
a family has both 4-H exhibitors and open division
exhibitors, the packet will be included with the 4-H
club’s information.
Section 6. HORSE EXHIBITORS: if you are exhibiting more
than one horse, use one entry form for each horse
you are exhibiting and put the name of the horse
plus a letter (A for the first horse, B for the second
horse, etc.) in this part of the entry form. For
example: Duchess - A.

Test cattle for Johne’s disease test results by ELISA test, and bring them to shows only if they test negative
25
Clean and disinfect vehicles used to transport animals to and from the show, and vehicles used at the show, before and after
the show
Guidelines for Housing and Managing Animals cont’d
Isolate exhibited animals returning to their farms or animals purchased at the show for 21 days before mingling them with

IAFE (International Association of Fairs &
Expositions) 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. 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 junior exhibitors are under an affirmative responsibility to do more than avoid improper condu ct
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 eth ics
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.
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 drugs. 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 animal entering the food chain shall not be
26
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 statutes,
regulations, and rules affect the animal’s performance or appearance at the event.
If the laboratory report on the chemical 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 approved laboratory to 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 hearing in regard to the matter conducted by the
fair or livestock show.
At any time after an animal arrives on the fair or livestock show premises, all treatments involving the use of drugs and/or
medications 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 other 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 and livestock show management, or other show 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.
10.
The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible
person to have any disciplinary action taken by the fair or livestock show against such individuals published 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 statutes, regulations, or
rules may be released to appropriate law enforcement authorities with jurisdiction over such infractions.

th
4-H Horse Show – Saturday, July 18 8:00 am – Horse Arena at
Lincoln County Fairgrounds.
The Lincoln County Horse Project has a required point system. The goal of this point system is for
all fair horse exhibitors (4-H, FFA, and other youth) to become involved with the horse group and the
efforts to carry out the educational program and show(s). This will be an easy but necessary
requirement.
Youth will be required to have 4 points to show at the fair horse show. You should have 3 of the 4 points
earned by the mandatory meeting. The points will be earned in the following manner:



Youth must earn 1 point by attending the mandatory Fair Horse Exhibitor meeting held in June.
Youth will need to another point by helping with a fundraiser for the horse program.
The final 2 points can be earned as the youth chooses:
o Attendance at a monthly Lincoln County Horse Project meeting will earn a ½ point.
o We would like youth to participate in an event with their horse which will count as 1 point.
This could be a clinic, show or trail ride. Does not need to be a 4-H event.
Youth will be required to turn in a slip for all events that they wish to earn points from other than the
mandatory Fair Horse Exhibitor meeting. A sample of this slip is shown below and youth will receive more
slips for their use during the year.
Although you are only required to earn 4 points the person with the most points as of the August meeting will
receive a prize!!

Horse is owned by member or member’s immediate family.

Managerial – Exhibitor must be enrolled in the 4-H Horse project or equivalent for youth not in 4-H. A
managerial project is defined as a youth who exhibits a horse that no other 4-H Horse project youth
is using and that is owned by someone other than the exhibitor or a family member of the exhibitor.
The youth is responsible to ensure the horse is taken care of properly. Member must have a signed
statement sent in with fair entry form stating that member managed this horse (include member’s
name, date management began, name of horse, and signature of the owner of the horse).
Horseless Horse - Exhibitor must be enrolled in the 4-H Horseless Horse project. A horseless
horse project is defined as a 4-H member who has no one on one access to a horse. They do
not/does not own or manage a horse and their family does not own or lease/manage a horse.
Horseless horse members must show only in horseless horse classes. The horseless horse
member must be working with a current 4-H horse project member (buddy) or leader. The same
horse may be shown by both members. This is the only horse the horseless horse member may show.
(Two horseless horse members may not show the same horse.) The “buddy” may not be a sibling that
resides in the same household (If two siblings are showing the same horse, that is family owned or
managed, both siblings are classified as horse project members.) Horseless horse members are
expected to work with the horse owning 4-H horse member or leader to learn about the horse (including
grooming, clean up, tack, riding, etc.). Horseless horse project members are expected to participate in
horse project activities
12. HARDSHIP: Project animals must be owned by June 1 of the current year. In case of injury,
replacement must be approved by the Horse Department Advisory Board and a written statement from
a veterinarian submitted at least one week prior to the fair horse show.
13. For safety and liability concerns, all members and adults are required to wear SEI-approved
helmets when mounted or driving on grounds and in all mounted and driving classes. Helmets
must be securely fastened.
ALL RULES (changes or exceptions) SUBJECT TO HORSE DEPARTMENT ADVISORY BOARD'S
DISCRETION.
The 4-H Horse Show will be held Saturday, July 18th, beginning at 8 a.m. in the Horse Arena on the Lincoln
County Fairgrounds. The horse judging contest will take place during the lunch break that day also in the
Horse Arena.

ALL ENTRIES UNDER THIS DEPARTMENT WILL BE FACE-TO-FACE JUDGING: Face-to-face
judging activities are designed to make the fair and judging experience more educational for the
exhibitor. The exhibitor must bring the entry in during the specified judging time and discuss it with the
judge. The judge gives the exhibitor input on the good points of the exhibit and ways it could be
improved. Face-to-face judging will be held on Wednesday afternoon of the fair from 12:00 until
7:00 PM.
RULES:
1.
All canned food must be in a clean, standard quart or pint jar with a self-sealing lid. A standard jar
is a jar with a brand name, such as Ball or Kerr, imprinted on the side of the jar. All jar rings must
be removed. All foods must have been canned since last year's fair.
2.
Jams and jellies must be sealed in 1/2 pint standard jars with a self-sealing lid and processed in
boiling water bath. No freezer jams.
3.
The date, processing time, and method MUST be labeled on jars. The product will be judged by
the latest material released from the University of Wisconsin-Extension, Ball or Kerr. Please check
with the UW-Extension Office for this literature. Entries will be disqualified if the judge feels the
proper time and method have not been used.
4.
All posters must be 14" x 22". It is recommended that brand names of products not show on
posters or other exhibits except where omitting them would detract from the final effect.

Exhibits must be preregistered. Work must be from the current school year. Premiums will be awarded
to the school or association unless rules are not complied with. The exhibit shall consist of a school
booth display representing the entire school or a subject taught within the school. Each school or
association is limited to one entry. The subject matter for exhibits may include one of the following
areas: art, civics, crafts, geography, history, home economics, industrial arts, languages, mathematics,
science, special education, or any other subject taught in the school during the school year. Judging
shall be based on factors such as arrangement, theme, entry, eye appeal, and creativeness.
Booths have back walls 8 feet wide and 5 feet tall and side walls of 4 feet by 4 feet. The side and
back walls are of a sturdy material that can be pinned into. Please use stickpins or pushpins only to
attach display to the booth. If the booth is damaged by use of staplers, tape, etc., there will be a
charge for repairs. No electrical lights or extension cords can be used. All display materials must
be furnished by the school or association. Post the school or association name at the top of the back
wall. Students' names and grades must be displayed on each of their exhibits.
Each school or association is responsible for putting up, maintaining, and taking down their display.

on Sunday. Entry tags must be attached to the right front (when you are facing it) outside corner
of the booth. Entry tags can be picked up at the Fair Office during booth setup times. Removal
of exhibits prior to release time will result in forfeit of premiums; however, displays must be

SENIOR CITIZENS
Darlene Bade, Chair, 715-536-9730
Due to changes at the state level with departments and classes, we can no longer
use Dept. 62, Sr. Citizens as it is not recognized as an “official” dept. This
department will be eliminated. Instead, we will be moving those classes and lots
that previously were under Sr. Citizens to their respective departments in Open
Class and putting them under a Sr. Division.
Example:
Sr. Citizens Woodworking will stay under Dept. O22, Open Class, but will be called Sr.
Division. See page 172
Sr. Citizens Cultural Arts – these items have moved to Open Class, Dept. O18 Cultural
Arts and will be listed under Class E, Senior Class, Ages 62 and older (See page 163).
Sr. Citizens Knitting and Crocheting – these items have moved to Open Class, Dept.
O27, Knitting and Crocheting and will be listed under Sr. Division, Class C (See page 177).
Sr. Citizens Home Furnishings – these items have moved to Open Class, Dept. O28,
Home Furnishings and will be listed under Sr. Division, Class C (See page 179).
