PLANTS & CUT FLOWERS

Chairperson: Betty Bender, 291- 4603

Committee: Marlene McQuinn, Mary Kerr, Jan Chapman, Mary Foote, Pat

Mayberry, Joyce Simpson, Carolyn Sturgeon, Paulette Coneybeare

Flowers in ALL classes must be HOME GROWN, established in suitable containers.

Any exhibit not worthy will not be awarded a prize. At the discretion of the judge and the

committee, a section may be subdivided.

Helpful Hints for Preparing Materials

(Ontario Judging Standards for Horticultural & Floral Design)

1. Cut flowers and foliage the evening before the show or in the early morning.

2. Flowers stay fresher and show better if there are NO LEAVES in the

container.

3. Make a fresh slanting cut at the end of stems, for maximum water intake.

4. Place in a wide bucket in deep warm water, preferably overnight.

5. Store in a dark, humid, draft-free place.

6. Some cut flowers, foliage and woody materials do not readily absorb water

and require further treatment to prevent wilting. Woody branches may

benefit from splitting cut ends and some need the thick outer layer removed

as well. Some cut flowers (e.g., poppies) benefit from burning the stem ends

while others benefit by placing stem ends in boiling water or from chemicals

in the water. About 2 Tbsp. of glycerine in 4 l of water, or florist crystals may

be beneficial. Details are also available in flower arranging books.

7. Removal of dust, stains, damaged foliage and any other foreign material

from blooms and foliage enhances the exhibit.

8. Re-cut stem ends before placing in show containers.

QUILT BLOCK CHALLENGE

This is your opportunity to join in the making of a beautiful quilt. This is our annual quilt block challenge and we invite you to participate in this year’s competition. We have had an excellent exhibit of quilt blocks in the past and we have designed unique quilts which are then auctioned off as a fundraiser for the Agricultural Society. We really appreciate your support for these quilt projects.

We have put together another great idea for the quilt block challenge this year. You will be able to pick up your quilt block kit from “Pins & Needles” 177 Main St. W., in Listowel or by calling Linda Robertson at 356-2468. We will be happy to mail a kit to you if you are out of town. There is no charge for your quilt block kit.

The blocks need to be submitted to the Listowel Agricultural Hall on Tuesday July 11th (7pm to 9:00pm) or Wednesday July 12th (8am to 11am). The blocks will be judged and prizes awarded as follows:

1st $25.00; 2nd $15.00; 3rd $10.00

The blocks submitted become the property of the Listowel Agricultural Society. The blocks will be pieced together to form a unique pattern and will be quilted and be part of our fundraising event.

Thank you for supporting the “Quilt Block Challenge 2017.” Happy Quilting!

Happy Canada Day

In Canada the time is right, to smile at the world today.

For Canadians all love to dance, and sing and work and play.

Canada so large and bold with green pastures

in peaceful spots. Canada with regions cold,

in the beauty of vacant lots. The sun is always shining

beyond the highest mountain top It’s remote in rocky places

where the snowfalls never stop. I think some days cloudy skies will try to shake the blue away, but in the world there’s a time

to remember Canada Day.

A Goose and a Duck

A goose and a duck walked through a farm, Holding each others wings like arms.

The farmer froze and watched them cross the yard,

His wife stood still and staring hard.

A dog started to bark loudly at the two, It startled them so into the air they flew.

Past the farm and into the town. It never occurred to them to look down.

Past the town and into the city, The air smelled stale and slightly gritty.

They landed in a large flock of birds, But neither could understand a single word.

Upon their return home to the farm, The cold night air still and calm. They flew into the barn to sleep,

Wings around each other and not a peep.

Proud To Be Canadian, eh!

Welcome to the Great White North, a country oft misunderstood.

We do not live in snowy igloos, or rustic cabins made of wood.

The winters here, yes, can get cold,

but our summers get terribly hot. We may be the polite northern neighbours,

but we know all the party spots.

I don’t dress like a lumberjack, or keep a beaver for a pet.

And walking through Algonquin Park, a moose is not so gladly met.

I’ve met people from across this land,

and one thing I often see. is those who are the friendliest,

have hearts aglow for this country.

My favourite part of Canada, “The true north strong and free”

is what I’ve learned and where I’ve gone, in this land that’s home to me.

Class C8 Using a 8 1/2” x 11” piece of paper, create a

poster/ad “en Francais” promoting the Listowel Fair, highlighting the many events that take place throughout the weekend.

Grade Seven

Class A7 Design a poster, using a computer design program, advertising one event that is taking place at the 2017 Listowel Fair. The poster should be no larger than 11”x17”.


Proud to Be Canadian

We are not what some people think we are We are much more than lumberjacks,

or people that live in igloos. We are a strong and free country.

We are different from the world.

We say please and thank you, We are proud to say zed instead of zee.

We have grown into a strong, Unique civilization from what we used to be.

When we have big dreams, we make them happen. We don’t just say things,

we believe them. We are a country that gives choices, variety and freedom. We are young, strong, unique, inspired people who stand

up for our peaceful nation and what we believe in.

With glowing hearts in our souls, we bring freedom and peace into others.
