President’s Message

On behalf of the Owen Sound Agricultural Society, I would like

to take this opportunity to welcome you to the 165th Owen

Sound Fall Fair. Our volunteers, sponsors, and board of

directors have put in countless hours to bring a little "country

to the city." The hard work contributed by all is greatly

appreciated and will be noticed at the fair by those in

attendance. A few new events and some of the old favorites

are included once again for the enjoyment of all. I look

forward to seeing everyone at the fair and anticipate the looks

of enjoyment on each face I see!!

Darren King

9. No person will be allowed to interfere with the Judge while in discharge of their duties. Should an exhibitor interfere, he will forfeit all claim of any premium or award to which he might otherwise be entitled.

10. Should there be only one exhibitor in any Class, or Section of a Class, the judge, in making awards are to use their own discretion as to awarding a premium and in all cases they must refrain from making any award where they do not think the animals or articles are worthy.

11. Should any fraud, deception or dishonest practice on the part of any exhibitor, or his agent, be discovered, the Board of Directors may withhold any prize awarded and may prohibit any exhibitor from exhibiting for such time as they determine and may publish the names of such exhibitors if they deem it proper to do so.

12. The Association reserves the right to amend, take from, or add to these rules as may be deemed best for the interest of the Society, and in case of any dispute the Directors' ruling must be adhered to.

13. Any exhibitor who is dissatisfied with the Judge's awards may make written protest at the secretary's office by depositing a fee of $2.00 with each protest, and if sustained the $2.00 deposit will be returned to the Exhibitor; if the protest is not sustained, the exhibitor loses their deposit.

15. Parties not providing proper fastening will be refused admission and animals found loose on the grounds will be impounded.

The Directors feel that this course is the most equitable and fair one that can be adopted, as any deduction will fall proportionately on all those participating in the amounts collected and not leave the whole sum to be debt to bear heavily on the Society and thus impair its usefulness.

28. The Directors will pay to prize-winners of the amounts of $10.00 or over, the amount of their premium, less $10.00 retained for membership fee, if minimum of $10.00 prize money has been earned. Provided, however that should there not be sufficient funds for payment of premiums in full, the percentage will be paid which in the opinion of the Directorate, the funds will allow.

29. All these rules will be strictly enforced.

GLOSSARY - from Ontario Judging and Exhibiting Standards Pub 34/03

Collection- a specified number of cut flowers, potted plants, branches, fruits, vegetables or nuts exhibited for cultural perfection. Container - Any receptacle for plant material. In design classes it is an integral part of the design. Decorative Wood - Term used to encompass all types of wood that have been waxed, varnished, painted or treated in such a way that the surface quality and/or colour has been changed. Wood whose surface has been altered by the elements in colour, form and/or texture; dried branches; Sections of tree limbs or trunks; burls; cypress knees; palm spathes; roots and even some woody seed pods (usually tropical). Accessory – An inorganic object(s) used in a manner to enhance the plant material. A design incorporating an accessory should appear incomplete if the accessory is removed. Wayside Design (from the country side) A design composed of common and plentiful flowers, foliage, fungus & weeds of roadsides and meadows. THE USE OF SCARCE, PROTECTED OR ENDANGERED NATIVE PLANTS SUCH AS WILD ORCHIDS, TRILLIUMS ETC. REQUIRES THAT THE EXHIBIT BE DISQUALIFIED BY THE SHOW COMMITTEE. Although gardeners may cultivate scarce, protected or endangered native plants, the use of them is forbidden in show work to discourage their picking from the wild. Featuring – When a design schedule states featuring a specific thing (ie. dahlias), other things may be included to create interest but the specific thing asked for must be dominant. Stem A main plant structure which supports flowers, buds, leaves or fruit. Spray A spray is the terminal flowering growth of a herbaceous or woody plant carried on one stem. Ideally it would show all forms e.g. flowers in bloom, buds showing colours, green buds and leaves. Display A specific number of cut flowers, potted plants, branches, fruits, vegetables or nuts, exhibited for artistic effect as well as cultural perfection.

CONDITIONING TIPS

Conditioning: We condition plant material to prolong its life and to ensure that maximum uptake of water by stems, flowers and foliage is achieved. Cutting Flowers: Cut on a diagonal with clean sharp scissors or knife. Cut flowers in early morning or evening when it’s coolest. Leave flowers in a bucket of water in a cool place for several hours. Hollow stemmed flowers: Invert and fill stem with water. Plug hole with absorbent cotton or wet floral foam and immerse in water. Milky substance Flowers: Blacken the cut stem with a flame and immerse in water. Woody stems: Peel an inch of bark and slit ends. Place stems into deep, quite warm water. Foliage: Foliage can be submerged for several hours. Remove foliage that would be under water because decaying leaves promotes bacterial growth. Do not submerge Grey leaves. Young foliage will become water logged if left too long

Penmanship

INDIAN SUMMER Along the line of smoky hills

The crimson forest stands,

And all the day the blue-jay calls

Throughout the autumn lands.

Now by the brook the maple leans

With all his glory spread.

And all the sumachs on the hills

Have turned their green to red.

Now by the great marshes wrapt in mist,

Or past some river’s mouth,

Throughout the long, still autumn day

Wild birds are flying south.

1. Penmanship – This land is your land This Land is Your Land – words and music by Woody Guthrie This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the New York Island From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and Me. As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway: I saw below me that golden valley: This land was made for you and me. I’ve roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparking sand of her diamond deserts; And all around me a voice was sounding: This land was made for you and me. When the sun came shining, and I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting: This land was made for you and me. As I went walking I saw a sign there And on the sign it said “No Trespassing.” But on the other side it didn’t say nothing, That side was made for you and me. In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, By the relief office I seen my people; As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking Is this land made for you and me? Nobody living can ever stop me, As I go walking that freedom highway; Nobody living an every make me turn back This land was made for you and me.
