given to all 4-H members.

refrigerators, couches, grills, and other personal enclosures within the barns and on the fairgrounds.
In past years some people may have had an entry in open class but could not find a class and lot in which to
enter it. If you have such an entry that you think would be of interest to fairgoers, just enter it and the judge
and those in charge of entries can assign it to a class or it can be judged as an independent entry. If this is a
large item or would need special treatment, see one of the board members for more information.
All livestock and non-livestock entries that are pre-registered will be entered on computer prior to entry day.
Being pre-registered could save you considerable time at the check-in table.

PUBLIC EXHIBITION OF LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY IN MINNESOTA
Minnesota rules require that exhibitions where cattle, swine, sheep, goats, horses, or poultry are shown
employ an official veterinarian. This requirement does not apply to horse shows which are programmed to be
completed within a period of 12 hours and at which horses are not stabled overnight. Authorization for official
veterinarians may be obtained by calling the Minnesota Board of Animal Health at 651-201-6804.
General Requirements:
Livestock and poultry that exhibit symptoms of any infectious or communicable disease, including
ringworm and warts, may not be exhibited. All animals must be examined by the official veterinarian
on the day they are admitted to the exhibition and at least once daily during the exhibition. All
imported animals must be accompanied by a certificate of veterinary inspection and meet the Board’s
importation requirements.
Responsibilities of Managers and Official Veterinarians
The management of an exhibition shall:
1. Comply with all reasonable orders of the board or the official veterinarian pertaining to the sanitation
of premises and the health status of all livestock and poultry exhibited.
2. Clean and disinfect all building and exhibit areas for the use of livestock and poultry prior to the
opening date of the exhibition and during the exhibition if livestock and poultry are released and new
livestock and poultry are brought to the exhibition premises, and maintain the areas in a sanitary
condition.
3. Provide quarantine facility for any livestock or poultry showing symptoms of infectious or
communicable disease. If a quarantine facility is impractical, any livestock or poultry showing
symptoms of infectious or communicable disease shall be removed from the premises by the exhibitor
when ordered to do so by the official veterinarian.
4. Employ an official veterinarian when cattle, swine, sheep, goats, horses, or poultry are exhibited.
The official veterinarian of an exhibition shall:
Approve the cleaning and disinfection of the exhibition premises prior to the exhibition and during the
exhibition if livestock and poultry are released and new livestock and poultry are brought to the exhibition
premises;
Inspect all livestock and poultry on the day admitted to the exhibition;
Refuse admission of livestock and poultry exhibiting symptoms of any infectious or communicable
disease, or of livestock or poultry not meeting the admission requirements of this part;
Inspect all livestock and poultry at least once daily during the exhibition and order the immediate removal
to the quarantine facility or removal from the exhibition premises of any livestock or poultry with
symptoms of infectious or communicable disease, and order and supervise the cleaning and disinfection of
the area from which the diseased livestock or poultry was removed;
Conduct any necessary tests at any time to determine the health status of the livestock or poultry on the
exhibition grounds;
At the conclusion of the exhibition, report to the board violations of exhibition rules and other information
concerning the exhibition as requested by the board; and

DIVISION F—HORTICULTURE
FRUITS & VEGETABLES
Helpful hints for preparing fruits and vegetables for exhibit:
1. Vegetables and fruits should be prepared to look attractive. They should be clean as dirt detracts
from their appearance. Root crops that have been washed and scrubbed too hard may wilt or shrivel.
Generally, less soil adheres to root vegetables if they are dug when the soil is dry. If washing is
necessary, soak the roots in cold water and gently wash with a soft cloth. Tender-skinned vegetables
such as summer squash or eggplant should not be washed but brushed lightly with a soft-bristled brush.
2. All fruits and vegetables should be free of blemishes from insects, disease, or injuries from harvesting
and transporting. Always use a sharp knife to make straight, clean cuts when harvesting or trimming
vegetables. Some vegetables need tops trimmed to 1-2 inches such as beets or carrots. Most vegetables
need ½ inch stems left on them for display, such as beans, cucumbers, or peppers. Some vegetables
need stems to be entirely removed, such as tomatoes or melons. Onions and cabbages need their entire
outer layers or wrapper leaves left on them.
3. Vegetables should be fresh and in prime condition for eating at the time of judging. Those that are at
the proper stage of maturity are preferred to under or over mature fruit.
4. The size of the vegetable or fruit should be typical of that variety. The biggest is not always the best.
All vegetables and fruits should be true to type. For example, an elongated beet would not be typical
for the variety Detroit Dark Red.
5. If two or more specimens are required for an exhibit they should be uniform in size, shape, color,
maturity, and type. Always display only the required number of specimens.
6. Know the kind (tomato) and variety (Celebrity) of your specimens so they can be properly labeled.
For more information on preparing your Vegetables or Flowers for exhibit, you may contact a Master
Gardener or your local County Extension Office for judging publications. The publication prepared by the
Minnesota State Horticultural Society, titled “Exhibiting and Judging Handbook” is an excellent source of
judging information.
Entries in this division will be accepted on Monday, 2:00 to 6:00 pm and Tuesday, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm,
but preferred entry time is Wednesday, Noon to 6:00 pm. Judging will take place in the New Ulm Civic
Center on the Fairgrounds on Wednesday evening. The Brown County Fair is not responsible for the
condition of live plants brought in on Monday or Tuesday. Pre-registration is encouraged.
Each
exhibitor may display only one entry in each lot. Trays will be provided for displaying vegetables,
except lots requiring potted exhibits or cut in water specimens, which should be supplied by the exhibitor.
All varieties in a collection must be named on a 3 x 5 index card and included with the exhibit—if not

DIVISION G
HORTICULTURE – FLOWERS
Helpful hints for preparing flowers for exhibit:
1. For proper conditioning flowers should be cut not less than twelve hours before they are to be used.
2. The preferred time for cutting materials is in the early evening or morning. A sharp knife or clippers
should be used.
3. After the specimens have been cut, the FLOWERS and or other FOLIAGE should be GENTLY
WASHED to remove dust, rain spatters, spray, or insects. A mild detergent may be used, and then
the specimens should be set upright in deep water in a cool, dark place, free of drafts, for several hours
or overnight to harden. Leaves below the water level should be removed because they will
deteriorate very rapidly.
4. Some flowers can be held anywhere from a day or two and others four or six weeks by keeping them
in a cool place or under refrigeration. The use of flower preservative also lengthens their freshness.
Flowers may be forced into faster opening by placing their stems in a container of hot water (110
degrees F.), and covering the container with a plastic bag.
1
5. In preparing the flower exhibit, remove broken, diseased, or insect damaged leaves. CUT STEMS TO
THE PROPER LENGTH, making sure the stem is in proportion to the size of the bloom. SELECT
THE PROPER NUMBER OF BLOOMS or STEMS. If the schedule calls for 3 blooms, it must have
only 3 blooms – 4 could lead to disqualification by the judge.
6. In classes calling for two or more stems or blooms, they should be as nearly alike in all respects as
possible. They should be the same color, size, form, stage of development or maturity, and stem
foliage.
7. The exhibit should be placed in a clean, narrow necked bottle with the stems supported with an
inconspicuous prop if necessary, such as clear plastic, Styrofoam, or a wooden block.
8. There should be NO FOLIAGE BELOW THE WATER LEVEL.
9. Foliage is usually necessary. No artificial coloring, leaf shine, spray, oiling, or wiring is accepted.
Entries in this division will be accepted on Monday, 2:00 to 6:00 pm and Tuesday, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm,
