Always attend and listen carefully at the clinics for possi-ble changes in rules or shows. Each committee will give as much advance no-tice of changes as possible. It is your responsibility to know what is going on with your project. Failure to attend 2 clinics will result in the loss of showing privileges in that livestock area for the current year’s Fair. THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UPS. A. Expectations of attendance at clinic would be to stay for the entire ses-sion. Committees will have attendance sheets at each clinic where you will be expected to sign-in at arrival and sign-out at the end of the clinic session. 22. Fair Check - in and Release Times

A. Check-ins: Market hogs must be in by 7:00 pm Sunday, July 29. Lambs, goats, dairy beef feeder and all rabbits and poultry must be in by 5:00 p.m. Mon., July 30, 2012. All other livestock must be in by 8:00 p.m. Mon., July 30, 2012.

10

26. All exhibitors are expected to be present at some part of the current Colum-biana County Fair. Each exhibitor must show their own animal in the show ring, unless they are unable to do so because of sickness, military service, college, or a conflict with showing another animal of a different species. In these cases the exhibitor may procure another Columbiana County Jr. Fair exhibitor to show their animal for them. (Exception would be horse projects) Prior approval must be obtained from the livestock committee involved. 27. It is the Junior Fair exhibitor’s responsibility to groom and care for their own project animal at the fair. Violation of this rule is a Quality Assurance issue and will be dealt with as such. 28. Livestock must be brought into the show when the class is called. Violators will not be permitted to show and will forfeit premiums.

A. All exhibitors are responsible for being present one hour prior to their livestock sale, get their animal ready, and remain in the barn until their project has been sold unless released by the committee. Anyone not present to sell will:

1. Move to the end of the sale and pay a penalty to the committee, and 2. If the end of the sale is reached and the exhibitor still has not arrived,

the animal will not be sold. The exhibitor will be responsible for the removal of the animal from the fairgrounds at the close of the fair. This exhibitor will not be permitted to show the following year. 29. Barn duty is MANDATORY in all livestock areas. Each committee has its own guidelines. Please make sure you know what is expected of you in each livestock area and fulfill your responsibility. 30. There will be two ways in which an animal can be released from the Fair-grounds:

A. A veterinarian may excuse an animal at any time. B. If someone thinks an animal should be excused, the following proce-dure should be followed: The Sr. Fairboard member who is responsible for the Jr. Fair Department

is John Karlen and he MUST be present during this procedure along with Julie Herron, 4-H Extension Educator AND a livestock committee member MUST meet to determine if the animal will be released. NO animal will be sent home without the Senior and Junior Fairboard representatives’ approval.

C. Once released from the fair by the veterinarian, the excused animal must be confined to its assigned stall and is to be removed ASAP and is not to be shown at the fair. Failure to comply with this rule may jeopardize participa-tion at future fairs. 31. To insure the safety and enjoyment of the general fairgoer, appropriate con-duct of a 4-H/Jr. Fair participant, parent or other spectator, and committee members are expected. Non-appropriate behaviors include water fights, foul language, verbal/physical fights, abuse/neglect of animals, unsportsmanlike actions, or other inappropriate behavior as determined by 4-H Educator, com-mittees, and fair management. Exhibitors involved in non-appropriate behaviors will be reprimanded and may forfeit all awards and not be permitted to exhibit the following year. Parents, spectators or committee members involved in non-

11

appropriate behaviors will be asked to leave the fairgrounds. 32. Any youth showing at the fair who commits a major violation of the rules with the intent to deceive for the purpose of winning, will forfeit any and all awards won that year and will be barred from showing at the fair the following year. 33. A small percentage may be deducted from the sale price of market animals to cover expenses. The amount will be determined by each 4-H/Jr Fair Commit-tees. 34. The Fairboard will not be responsible for losses or injury to exhibits, how-ever, every precaution will be exercised to prevent loss or injury to such exhib-its. 35. Problems arising not mentioned in these rules must conform to the rules of the youth organizations and the County Agricultural Society. 36. The Columbiana County Agricultural Society will designate all market sales as “partial terminal” or “terminal” sales prior to the fair, in accordance with ODA regulations and time tables. Either case means all Grand and Reserve animals must go directly to processing. If this rule is broken and animals are not proc-essed, any parties found in violation of this rule will be subject to state penalties and will also be banned from showing any animals at the Columbiana County Fair the following year. 37. Committees who sponsor an award for a “Best Project” which includes skillathon scores, showmanship scores and class placing will call this award:

Specie – Outstanding Youth Project – Grand Specie – Outstanding Youth Project – Reserve

38. All questions pertaining to exceptions to Rules should be directed in writing to the appropriate livestock committee, with a copy going to the Junior and Sen-ior Fairboards. This shall be done at least 30 days prior to fair. The committee shall pass the request and their recommendations on to the Junior Fairboard. The Junior Fairboard will then pass the matter with their recommendation onto the Senior Fairboard representative who will then bring this matter to the atten-tion of the Senior Fairboard.

39. Once an animal has been accepted by the respective Senior Show Super-

intendent in charge to be shown at the fair and placed in its assigned spot at the fair, there will be NO replacements of animals for any reason.

40. All upholstered furniture is prohibited in the livestock areas of the fair-grounds.

CAMP FIRE BOYS AND GIRLS

Motto: "Give Service"

Colors:

Red, White & Blue Camp Fire is a non-profit youth agency founded in 1910 for boys and girls, kin-dergarten through twelfth grade. Camp Fire provides, through a program of informal education, opportunities for youth to realize their potential and to func-tion effectively as caring, self- directed individuals responsible to themselves and to others, and as an organization, to seek to improve those conditions in society which affect youth. Camp Fire programs are designed around 5 basic areas called trails. Within the 5 trails are projects and activities designed to help youth develop creativity, compassion and a desire to serve and to make them feel an important part of their family and community, stimulate them to seek out new knowledge and skills, and teach them to appreciate nature. Camp Fire is camping. Camp Tayanita, located 10 miles south of Lisbon in Wayne Township and Camp Kinoka near Beaver Creek State Park, provide Columbiana County youth with a rich camping experience. Camp Fire youth and adults have 2 beautiful locations to explore nature and practice outdoor camping skills. Camp Fire camping involves star gazing, weather watching, bug catching, playing, singing, physical fitness, and group living. Tayanoka Council of Campfire is open to all youth in Columbiana County.

One of the mandatory clinics may be a Quality Assurance Clinic. The youth organization’s activities will be carried on in the local club. An accurate record book must be kept by each youth.

DEPT. 53 - STEERS

(Any member not participating in the Skill-a-thon, MUST turn in their record book to be graded at the skillathon). Books will be evaluated on accuracy, neat-ness, and completeness. Skill-a-thon age division winners will automatically go to the next division, except for the senior division who will stay permanently in the senior division. 3. The Columbiana County 4-H/Jr. Fair Steer Committee will generally super-vise and assist with the steer project member’s work in the county. On January 19, 2012, a reorganization of the 2012 Columbiana County 4-H/Jr. Fair Steer Committee was held with the election of adult members. Youth members who want to serve on the committee must apply to adult committee members by Weigh-in. Youth members serve a one (1) year term and must re-apply each year. 4. A show will be held during the Columbiana County Fair. The show will in-clude only steers registered with the 4-H/Jr. Fair Steer Committee. All members owning these steers must exhibit their animals in the show unless excused by the county committee and must comply with such regulations as to condition, and showing that the committee deems necessary. Any steers that weigh less than 1000 pounds at the fair weigh-in time must be sold at the end of the sale. All steers shown in the 4-H/Jr. Fair Steer Show must sell at the sale. Any animal not shown cannot be sold. 5. Any member exhibiting and selling a steer at the Columbiana County Jr. Fair cannot sell steers at any other county or independent fair. 6. There will be a mandatory weigh-in for all steers to be shown at the Colum-biana County Jr. Fair. The steers will be tagged and eligible for Rate of Gain Contest at the Fair. Weigh-in will be done at the fairgrounds in Lisbon on Saturday, November 12, 2011 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. All steers must weigh a minimum of 350 pounds. Please do not ask to tag any underweight steer. The committee suggests the steer not weigh more than 700 pounds. (Target weight 500-600 pounds). Each exhibitor may tag one steer. Exhibitor must possess ownership of animal by tagging date. A $10.00 fee will be collected on November 12, 2011, for each member taking a Steer project. The fee must be paid or the animal will not be permitted to come to the fair. 7. At weigh-in, steers MUST have a clean, nylon beef-type rope halter on be-fore unloading. Since owners are solely liable and responsible for their steer during weigh-in, it is best for steers to be halter broke before the November weigh-in. This will reduce the risk of loss or injury to animals and people. 8. An exhibitor may obtain a steer in one of two ways:

A: Select from the home herd. B: Purchase steer of own choice. Animals selected shall be a recognized

beef breed. Dairy or dairy cross cattle are not allowed. The committee is willing to assist members in locating project steers. All steers must meet the approval of the 4-H/Jr. Fair Steer Committee/Extension Educator.

9. All calves should be dehorned and castrated by November 12, 2011. All calves must be dehorned and castrated to show at the fair. All calves must be castrated before they are 8 months old to show at the fair. Any steer not properly castrated will not be allowed to show at the fair and must be removed from the fairgrounds ASAP . Dehorning and castration will be the sole respon-sibility of the owner. 10. Members note: All steers must be able to be lead and handled for show and sale. Members should use show halters for the show. 11. All steers must be housed in assigned stall and fitted in the Beef Complex. All members must sign up for barn duty by weigh-in at the fair and complete barn duty at scheduled time or $50 will be deducted from their Steer check. 12. Health papers and Drug Notification Forms MUST accompany all steers to the fair. 13. Once the steer leaves the scales, there will be no re-weighs at the Fair. The scales are calibrated and have a Certified Weighmaster. 14. GROOMING & FITTING STEERS: Current mandatory rules included in the Ohio Livestock Show Reform Act, produced by the Ohio Department of Agricul-ture, will be enforced. The Sr. Steer committee will report any violations to the Senior Fair Board. A.) The following grooming practices are prohibited:

i) Using any substance to enhance or change the color of the livestock, including the livestock’s hide or hooves. ii) Adding any substance externally to build up, change or alter the shape or conformation of the livestock, including by way of example, but not limited to rope, false hair, graphite, hemp or pow-ders. iii) Pigmented grooming aids or materials.

B.) Members may use white foam, Zoom Bloom, Final Bloom, adhesives etc. However, members must have all adhesives and grooming aids properly cleaned out of steers after the show. Members who fail to do this may be cited for grooming and fitting violation. 15. Buyers and Trophy Thank You letters must be turned in by 1 p.m. Sunday (the last day of the fair) or members will not receive their steer checks. 16. All steers must be fitted with one, ½” or larger rope halter. The halter goes with the steer when sold. Halters and neck ropes that are unsatisfactory will be replaced and the exhibitor charged. Neck rope and halters shall be left on until steers are picked up.

Members must notify a Senior Steer Committee member before Showmanship if they choose to remove their name from the list. 18. All members can compete for Steer – Outstanding Youth Project- Grand and Reserve. Winners are determined by the combination of class placing, showmanship placing, and Skill-a-thon judging score. There is usually a chair and a jacket awarded to the top two places. 19. Breed Show Members must commit by weigh-in on Tuesday, if they are going to show in Breed Show and must at the same time turn in original breed registration papers. For those breed associations that allow registration at a percentage less than purebred, the steers must be at least 3/4 purebred and have correct papers. There will need to be at least six entries to have a class for that breed. Breeds with less than six entries will show as usual in regular cross-bred classes by weight. 20. Fall weigh-in for the 2013 Fair Steers will be Saturday, November 10, 2012, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. 21. A market steer class will be added for the Columbiana County born and raised steer which will be selected at the Columbiana County Fair. a.

Identification Requirements for sheep through the Scrapie Eradication Program. The Senior Fairboard is also supporting this eradication program. Club Lambs - animals born after 01/01/02 must be identified to the flock of birth. Therefore, the lambs you buy must be identified from the flock you purchase them from the time you, the new owner, takes possession. Animals from your own flock must also be identified that move interstate for sale or exhibition. Intact Breeding Animals - intact breeding animals of any age that move in interstate commerce for sale or exhibition must have official ID . Vet Papers - are required before unloading at the fair for all market and breeding animals. Scrapie is a fatal de-generative disease affecting the central nervous system of sheep. The eradica-tion program traces infected animals back to their flock of birth or origin. Identifi-cation and record keeping of animals in commerce is one part of the eradication program. FREE TAGS: Ohio producers can get free tags provided by the USDA, one free tagger provided per producer.

Horse County Fair Rules

All species will conform to all Uniform Junior Fair Rules found on Pages 8-12 of this handbook and the YEA Horse Project Rules listed here. Please read these rules. Failure to comply with the following rules will mean the exhibitor will not be permitted to exhibit a horse project the following year and will forfeit all awards earned at the fair. Reminder - 4-H youth are NOT permitted to show stallions. The Horse Committee has determined that 4-H members are NOT permitted to bring a lactating mare and foal to 4-H events.

1. All exhibitors must attend the orientation and class sign-up meeting to be held Monday, 8:30 p.m. in the Coliseum. If there is a conflict, please notify a 4-H/Jr. Fair Saddle Horse Committee member. Exhibitors must declare their intent to show Pleasure or Contest and sign-up for classes at this time. No add on classes will be accepted later in the week, but they may be scratched if the participant decides not to enter. 2. Book grading will take place on Sat. July 14, 9 am - 12 pm (noon) at the Horse Show. 3. All exhibitors entering a horse must have it stabled at the fair and show in their appropriate Showmanship class. 4.

If the stall is reserved and the participant cannot attend the fair, 4-H/Jr. Fair Saddle Horse Committee must be noti-fied in writing, one week prior to the beginning of the fair, so stall assign-ments can be adjusted. Anyone who fails to notify the committee will be dealt with individually - inability to reserve a stall the following year is a possible consequence. 5.

The project horse must be stalled at the fair but the production horse may be hauled in. 6.
