FAIR BOOK DEDICATION: WINNIE WESTENFELDER

Since its humble beginnings in 1954 at Babcock Field next to the old high school, to the building of the dairy barn at the ‘new’ fairgrounds in 1956, to the current day fair Winnie Westenfelder could and can be seen at the Newaygo County Fair with her children and grandchildren and now great grandchildren. When not helping with them, she could be found helping any child with their dairy animals or projects. While time has slowed down her step, it has not slowed down her passion for the fair and the youth of Newaygo County. She continues to support the fair through sponsorships and the market livestock auction. To Winnie agriculture and the fair are not a living, but a way of life. Winnie served many years as a 4-H leader and is still willing to lend a helping hand or bit of advice whenever necessary. Winnie Westenfelder first moved to Newaygo County from Barryton, MI when she was 19. A few years later she married Reginald ‘B’ Westenfelder and worked with him on their registered Guernsey

dairy farm, Black Creek Farm for many years. She was a long time member of the Guernsey Cattle Club. While B and Winnie worked to maintain one of the top Guernsey Milking Herds in the state of Michigan, Winnie still found time to plant a large garden and keep up with immaculate landscape and flowers around the farm. Winnie’s life has been filled with B, Farming and the Fair. Please take the time to say hello and ask to hear a story the next time you see Winnie at the fair.

Rules & RegulationsInternational Association of Fairs and Expositions -

National Code of Show Ring EthicsAdopted April 2005 Newaygo County Agriculture Fair Association

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.

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 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. When applicable, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 disciplinary action taken by the Fair or livestock show for violation of the 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 statutes, regulations, or rules may be released to appropriate law enforcement authorities with jurisdiction over such infractions.

Dear Youth Exhibitor,

Thank you for your willingness to be a part of the Newaygo County Fair. It is the goal of the Newaygo County Agriculture Fair Association to promote and educate the spectators and community about what is going on in the Newaygo County Region. The back bone that holds up the fair are the volunteers that come together and make a great event. We have many new and exciting events, along with many of the old favorites. We have reorganized the schedule to make the most of the time we have.

Again this year we are asking for your help to make the fair successful. We have set an expectation to create and maintain civic minded community based youth involvement. We are asking that EVERY youth participant give a minimum of three hours of service to the fair. This will be available during the summer months, but primarily during the week of the fair we need help in many areas; a list of available options and needs will be ready in early summer. For those that need community service hours for school please let us know so that I or another committee member may verify and sign off on your certificates. This is a great opportunity to give back, as well as a chance to meet other youth from around the county.

We are very excited and looking forward to the 2013 Newaygo County Fair. Please visit our New web site: newaygocountyfair.org for many more new and exciting updates, and photos from last years fair.

Thank you in advance for your support and willingness to help make the fair a great success in 2013.

Sincerely yours

Matthrew KempfNewaygo County Fair Association815 S. StewartFremont, MI 49412231-924-4450
