ENTERINGYOUR EXHIBITS

Start the Fair season now by entering an exhibit in the Fair! If you can make it, bake it, grow it or show it, we have a category for you. Entering an exhibit is easy and most classes are free to enter. This book has all the information you will need to get started.

To enter an exhibit, you are encouraged to enter online at NevadaCountyFair.com. Printed entry forms can be mailed or dropped off at the Fairgrounds Administration office. Livestock entries may only be completed online.

Online entry forms are due online no later than midnight on Monday, July 26 at NevadaCountyFair.com. Paper entries are due no later than 4 pm on Monday, July 26 at the Fairgrounds Office on McCourtney Road. For exhibit delivery times and locations please see page 10. If you have any questions, please contact the Fairgrounds Office at [email protected] or (530) 273-6217.

JUDGING ANDAWARD SYSTEMS

Exhibits are judged by either the Danish or the American judging system. In the Danish system, each exhibit is judged according to how well it meets a product standard rather than how it compares with other exhibits. In the American judging system, each entry in a class is judged in comparison to other entries in the class. Awards are given according to relative merit with the potential for no more than one first, one second and one third place per class.

There will be a Best of Division award for every “still” division. It will be chosen from entries that

receive first place in their classes. Every Best of Division winner will receive a rosette.

There will be a Proud Tradition award for each department. It will be chosen from all the entries that receive Best of Division in the department. The winning exhibitor will receive a $50 premium and a rosette.

Sweepstakes awards are offered in select departments and are calculated using a points system based on placings and number of entries. First, second and third place Sweepstakes winners receive a rosette and cash award.

People’s Choice award will be voted on by the public for entries in each building. The winning exhibitor will receive a $50 premium and a rosette.

For sponsored award listings, please see adult awards on pages 37-38 and youth awards on pages 51-52

State rules for California Fairs apply to all competitive exhibits conducted by District and County Fairs in California (cdfa.ca.gv/fe).

"The Fair is Back in Town!"

PICK UP YOUR EXHIBITS Please pick up your exhibits on Monday, August 16 between 9 am & 6 pm. Premium checks will also be available to pick up at the Fairgrounds Office on that day. Please pick up your entries where they were displayed. Due to limited storage space, any items left after that date may be disposed of.

Each year, the Nevada County Fair hosts two auctions - the Ag Mechanics Auction, and in partnership with the Nevada County livestock producers, the Junior Livestock Auction. The money earned at the auction is often used by students for college education, vocational training, and to fund future fair projects. Thank you to all the buyers for their support of our local youth in agriculture! Please join us at this year's Junior Livestock Auction on Sunday, August 15 at 9 am and at the Ag Mechanics Auction on Friday, August 13 at 5:30 pm. For information on the auctions, contact the Fair office at (530) 273-6217.

Deliver exhibits to the Lath House

Limits: Nevada County residents only. One entry per class per exhibitor.

1. The quality desired in agricultural and horticultural exhibits is the quality that brings the best financial return in the commercial market.

2. Such Exhibits must be at least equal in maturity to the state of ripeness required by Section 42513 of the California Food & Agricultural Code in order to be considered for premium awards. Section 42513: “Mature” means having reached that stage of ripeness which will ensure the completion of the ripening process to a degree which will ensure palatability, after the removal of the product from the tree, plant or vine. Section 41515: “Overripe” means having reached an advanced state of maturity which causes the product to be undesirable for human consumption, in a fresh state.

3. Exhibits showing blemishes which detract from the commercial value of any produce are undesirable and should be avoided.

4. Definition of Organically Grown: No synthetically compounded fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides or growth regulators shall be applied by the grower to the field or area in which the commodity is grown for 12 months prior to seed planting or transplanting, and throughout the entire growing season. Also, no post harvest artificial coloring or synthetically compounded agents shall be used. Exceptions include dormant oil and natural occurring compounds as specified in the “California Organic Food Act of 1979.”

5. Exhibitor must specify variety or type in classes listed as “any other.”

6. Uniformity of size is important. Market size unless stated.

7. Variety of products must be adequately and correctly labeled.

8. Any crop maturing after August 16, 2020, may be entered in the 2021 Fair.

9. Please exhibit the number requested in each particular class. For instance, if it asks for three ears of corn, bring no more or no less.

The exhibitor and animal must be present at the auction and ready to sell when it is his or her turn. If an exhibitor is not present and ready when it is their turn, Fair management has the right to remove the animal from the JLA and, if removed, the animal must be sold resale at the published market price for that species to the harvesting facility designated by the Fairgrounds. Animals that are removed from the JLA for the above reason will not be permitted to leave the Fairgrounds except by the livestock transportation company contracted by the Fairgrounds. Fairgrounds management has the right to grant a variance for those animals that are determined to be unable to sell, due to injury or illness, by the official Fair veterinarian.

When the auctioneer says “SOLD” the animal is sold. However, the exhibitor is responsible for providing feed and water to

the animal until it is loaded on the truck, as instructed by the Livestock Superintendent and/or Sale Committee.

Animals must meet weight requirements and be determined market ready by the judge in order to be eligible to sell. The Auctioneer has the final say on all bids. No private treaties are allowed.

A commission to be determined by the Nevada County Fair Board will be charged to promote and finance the sale.

All exhibitors selling in this JLA Auction MUST write thank-you letters to their respective buyers and any buyer who added a "bump" immediately after the Sale and prior to receipt of their check.To view the State Rules for California Fairs, you may visit California Department of Food & Agriculture’s website: cdfa.ca.gov/fe.
