to any person, animals or property occasioned by him, his agents, or by any
animal or article owned or exhibited by
him, and shall indemnify the Central Arizona Fair Associtiona/Pinal County Fairgrounds against all loss, damages, and
liability thus occasioned, including any

occasioned by, or arising from any animal or article exhibited. Exhibitors shall
indemnify the Fair or any other officer
or employee of the Fair against all legal
proceedings in regard thereto.
Exhibits and property of every descrip-
tion entered for competition, display, or

for supremacy between two or more
products, animals, or articles, owned by

SUPERINTENDENTS
1. It shall be the duty of each Superintendent to inform the Judge(s) of his
department of the rules and regulations
governing awards and to urge them to
read the rules carefully before judging.
2. Each Superintendent is charged with
caring for the Judges’ Books of his department. He or she must see that all
awards are properly entered therein, as
it is only upon this record that premiums
can be paid. Ribbons and tags are not
accepted for payment of awards. He or
she must see that the Judges’ Books are
properly signed.
3. All Judges’ Books must be returned
to the Fair Office immediately after
judging is completed.
4. Each Superintendent is responsible
for the final disposal of exhibits in his or
her department.
5. A Superintendent may reserve the
right to reject any entry which he or she
may deem unworthy of exhibition.
6. A Superintendent has the right to divide or combine classes.
7. The Superintendent shall, under no
circumstances, allow the Judges’ Books
to go from their possession, or to be inspected by anyone except authorized
personnel, until entries of the Judges’
decisions have been made and recorded, the records audited, and closed.
JUDGES AND JUDGING
1. The Judges shall read carefully the
general rules and all special rules under
the heading of the department or class
in which they are to serve; and especially
note and mark those rules bearing on
the classes to be adjudicated by them.
Ignorance of rules is inexcusable with a
Judge.
2. Judges must not award prizes to an
unworthy exhibit. It is the intention of
the management that no premium or
distinction of any kind shall be given to
any animal or article that is not deserving. This rule must be strictly adhered to
whether or not there is competition.
3. Judges shall report to the Superintendent any exhibitors who, in any way,
whether in person or by agents or servants, interferes with them and show
any disrespect to them during the judging. The Superintendent may, at his or
her discretion, demand a proper apology from such exhibitor, or exclude him
from further competition. The Fair may
withhold from such exhibitor any or all
premiums that have been awarded and
expel him from further exhibiting at the
Fair.
4. The Judges and persons acting as
Clerks to the Judges, must use special
care, after an award has been made, to
see that the same is properly entered in
the award book, for it is upon this entry
that the payment of premiums is made.
7. If there is any question as to the regularity of an entry, or the right of an animal or article to compete in any lot, the
Judge(s) shall report the same immediately to the Superintendent in charge of
that department.
8. A faithful observance of all rules governing the exhibit will be required; and
when in doubt as to the application or
meaning of a rule, the Superintendent
in charge shall construe the same. This
opinion, when required by either exhibitor or Judge, must be reduced to writing and returned to the Fair Office with
the Judges’ Books.
9. In judging livestock, the decision of
the official veterinarian and judge, as to
unsoundness, shall be final.
10. The decision of the Judges shall be
final in all cases, except where mistake,
fraud, misrepresentation, or collusion,
not discovered at the time of award, is
apparent. In such cases, the Judge may
make a decision or, with his approval,
the matter may be referred to the Fair,
from whose decision there can be no appeal.
11. Judging will be on the American
System. Exhibitors will compete for
first, second, and third place in each
lot where they are exhibiting; except
livestock. Livestock departments have
listing of which places will be awarded.
Premiums will be paid for on only one
first, one second, and one third place in
each lot. This does not necessarily mean
that there must be a first, second and
third, etc., award made if item or article
is deemed unworthy.
12. Judges are urged to consider that
exhibits, in general, are exhibited by amateurs; and, if their work shows promise
in any way, this should be considered
in giving that exhibit an award of some
kind to encourage the exhibitor to participate again next year, and to strive for
better workmanship and higher award.
5. The Judge, Superintendent, and Clerk
recording the awards of the department
must sign the award book at the close of
each class, immediately after all awards
in said class have been made.
13. If competition does not justify the
prizes for any lot, the Judge(s) have the
right to omit such prizes.
6. No person who is an exhibitor can act
as Judge, Superintendent, or Clerk in a
class in which he or she is showing.
1. All protests from a decision of a Judge
must be made to the Fair and filed within
thirty-six (36) hours after the award has
PROTEST AND APPEALS
been made, it being considered that an
award is made when the notation of the
Judge is entered in the department’s
Judges’ Book.
2. All protests must be made in writing
and must be accompanied by a deposit
of $25 in any of the livestock departments and $10 in any of the other departments which will be forfeited if the
protest is not sustained. This deposit is
to cover administrative costs in handling
the protest. Protest must state plainly
cause of complaint or appeal, with specific charges and recital of the facts relied upon on the rule violated, naming
witnesses and their addresses to whom
proof is to be made.
3. The right of an exhibitor to appeal the
decision of a Judge to the Fair will be
only when it is charged that the award
has been made in violation of the rules
governing the exhibit; or when it is
charged that the decision of the Judge
has been influenced or interfered with
by another.
4. No protest or appeal based upon the
statement that the Judge(s) are incompetent or have overlooked an animal or
article will be considered by the Fair.
5. All questions in dispute or differences
not covered by these rules shall be referred to the Fair whose decision shall
be final.

SUGGESTIONS ON HOW
TO BECOME A WINNER
In competition, details are all important. Judges do not judge by likes or
dislikes. They have standard rules by
which they must abide.
The first thing to consider is the container. Use only the type specified
for each class, and make certain that
the jars are thoroughly sealed as to
contents and must be free from any
stickiness.
Fruits – Uniformity of pack and
ripeness are very important. The
ripeness determines the color and
texture of the fruit. The syrup or liquid should be clear (not cloudy) and
should cover, the contents.
Pickles and Relishes – All cucumber and mixed pickles must be
firm and crisp. Sweet pickles must
be firm, yet tender. Don’t overcook.
Again, natural color of product used,
clearness of liquid, uniformity of pack
is important. Flavor is a vital factor in
this class. In pickling fruits, don’t get
them too sweet. Vegetables should
not be too sour or over-spiced.
Vegetables – Here again the liquid
is very important. It must be clear,
and it must cover the vegetables.
Jams – Do not sieve or strain. True
jams resemble crushed fruit with no
separation of fruit and juice. Natural fruit flavor should be preserved,
neither too much nor too little sugar.
Jams should not be rubbery.
Jellies – Jelly should be transparent
and have good texture (quiver), color
and clearness. Maintain the natural
fruit flavor. Watch for too much sugar
– no crystals allowed.
Preserves – The color and flavor
must be natural to the fruit. Syrup
must be clear and thick. The pieces
of fruit firm and whole.
Marmalades – Have the color as
natural to the fruit as possible. Small,
thin pieces of fruit in a clear thick
syrup is desirable. Not too much nor
too little sugar.
A Sub-Class must be listed for each
entry entered on the Official Entry
Form. Entry will not be accepted
without a sub-class listed.
