The Great Frederick Fair 2018 1

Welcome to the 156th Great Frederick Fair, voted Best of Frederick's “Best Festival/Event” two years running,

a title we are very proud of, due to the loyal community support which makes the Fair possible.

This year's theme: "moooving forward" fun for the whole herd

The Great Frederick Fair is the agricultural heart of Frederick County, a community gathering for socializing and a place for exhibitors to showcase and share their success. Over 18,000 exhibits, a majority of which are by 4-H and FFA youth, volunteers, sponsors, employees and concessionaires. Nearly 250,000 visitors pass through the fairgrounds annually during our nine day event.

The Fair industry is constantly "moooving forward" and looking ahead to the future... what will the Fair look, feel, taste, smell like? 10, 20 even 50 years from now? We work hand-in-hand with FCPS to expand and improve our hands-on agricultural education progams. There are always new, exciting activities at our agriculture/livestock stops around the grounds for all, from over 5,000 school kids visiting on guided field trips to fair guests off all ages.

With a fun-filled carnival, buildings full of exciting agricultural & livestock exhibits, a wide range of food vendors and a variety of grandstand entertainment, we continue "moooving forward" and expanding your choices. This year choose from motor sports, country music, classic rock, christian music, and this year... a night of family friendly entertainment!

I am excited to invite you to enjoy the thrill of a lifetime in a very safe environment here at the Great Frederick Fair!

The Great Frederick Fair supports disciplinary policies and procedures that are in effect and imposed through proper guidelines and channels of the 4-H and FFA divisions. It is also The Great Frederick Fair's policy to forfeit any and all premiums and prize winnings if for any reason exhibitor dismissal is imposed.Space will be allocated for all dairy and livestock brought to the fair, not the number entered. There will be no refund of entry fees for animals accepted and not brought to the fairgrounds. In the event that entry numbers are too high and barns become overcrowded, the fair has the right to turn away out of state exhibitors first, then out of county exhibitors.

Exhibitors' Pass SystemPersons exhibiting in the Household and Farm and Garden Departments must purchase a Daily Admission Pass for $10 per three items entered, which entitles the exhibitor to a single day admission for each day of fair. The rule also applies to entries of articles made by children. Single day $8 admission passes may be purchased at the admission gates.Passes are not transferable and will be forfeited if presented by anyone other than the person to whom issued.An entry fee of $5 per entry (dairy, goats, sheep and swine); $15 per entry (beef); $10 per animal (draft horse and mule); and $30 per entry (Texas Longhorns); will be charged, payable when the entry is made. Non 4-H/FFA livestock families, farms and/or exhibitors (Open class only) will receive one (1) Exhibitor Season Pass with Parking for 1-3 paid entries and one (1) additional Exhibitor Season Pass with Parking for four (4) or more paid entries. Up to four (4) additional season passes may be purchased. The Exhibitor Season Pass with Parking is good for admission onto the grounds and parking in the satellite lots A, B, C, or D only. (This provision does not apply to the Poultry Department). One Livestock Exhibitor parking mirror permit will be issued to each farm/family regardless of the number of entries or exhibitors in the farm/family group. Any 4-H/FFA’er wishing to exhibit in the open class shows must pre-register and pay the appropriate entry fees stated above. Each 4-H/FFA livestock exhibitor will receive one Exhibitor Season Pass with Parking for open class entries.No deductions will be made from any premium awarded. Exhibitors of animals must be the owners; of fruit, grain, vegetable, etc., the growers; of manufactured articles, the maker thereof, or a duly authorized agent. Exhibitors of cattle, sheep, goats, swine and alpacas will report to the respective superintendent’s office where stalls and pens will be assigned by the superintendent of the department. Exhibitor must see to the delivery of their stock to the department in which the same is entered. All exhibitors wishing to reserve a camper space must contact the Fair office to be added to the waiting list. The fee is $300 per week.

Clinical signs include but are not limited to: active lesions of ringworm with resulting loss of hair, sore mouth, sore nose, caseous lymphadenitis, prolapse, mange or multiple warts easily visible without close examination.

d. Suspicion of communicable disease is adequate grounds for rejection. Confirmed diagnosis is not required, since timely removal of suspicious animals is required by law to protect the remaining animals.

e. Exposed animals may be rejected: If it is believed that there is a potentially serious communicable disease present, all animals originating with the suspect animal may be rejected. Vesicular diseases are of particular concern.

f. All decisions are final.g. All parties involved will be notified of all rejections, including exhibit sponsors

and supervisors.h. Animal rejections can be made by MDA Animal Health veterinarians or field

inspectors, private veterinarians contracted by the show, Maryland Extension employees or individuals designated by the fair or show as a ‘responsible person.’

Confirmed diagnosis is not required, since timely removal of suspicious animals is required by law to protect the remaining animals. If it is believed that there is a potentially serious communicable disease present, all animals originating with the suspect animal may be rejected. Vesicular diseases are of particular concern. All decisions are final. All parties involved will be notified of all rejections and the exhibitor is responsible for removal of the animal(s) from the grounds immediately. PSITTACINE BIRDSThe Pullorum-Typhoid, Avian Influenza test requirements and identification are the same for these birds as they are for poultry.WILDLIFE & EXOTIC SPECIESExhibitors of wildlife and exotic species must make sure that all Maryland DNR and USDA requirements are met.

The object being to secure awards as free as possible from "fear, favor, or affection," the judges will allow no person to interfere or converse with them during their adjudication, except the superintendent of their department. Judges will be permitted to see the books of entry to ascertain the names of animals and their owners, after they have made their decision, in order to insert the same in their report.

Blank reports will be furnished to the judges by the fair, with the number of premiums offered. On these, the judges will make their awards in writing, sign the same and hand to the superintendent, who will immediately deliver the same to the fair.

Judges will be careful to award premiums only to such animals or articles for which a premium is offered by the fair.

The judges will, in all cases, whether there be competition or not, award only such premiums as they deem proper as the merit of the animal or article warrants.

No person shall act as judge upon any animal or article in which he or she may be interested as exhibitor, the agent or employee of an exhibitor or otherwise, and no award shall be valid or will be paid in any case where it shall be proven that any judge is, or was at that time interested as exhibitor, owner or otherwise, in any articles or animals awarded premiums.

The judges of animals will have to regard the symmetry, early maturity, size and general qualities characteristic of the breeds which they judge. They may make due allowance for age, feeding, and other circumstances, and the character and condition of the animals. They will not award premiums for bulls, cows, or heifers which seem to have been fattened for processing: the object being to have superior animals for breeding.

All animals or articles competing for the same premium must be brought together as the judges may appoint, and the judges may require, at their discretion, exhibitors to change the position, and bring in proximity animals and articles concerning the comparative merits of which they may feel in doubt.

Premium ribbons and cards will be attached to animals or articles as soon as the awards are made by the judges, thus: blue to indicate first; red for second; yellow for third; pink for fourth; green for fifth.

IAFE National Code of Show Ring EthicsAdopted by the Board of Directors, The Great Frederick Fair

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 agriculture 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. In addition to the "IAFE National Code of Show Ring Ethics," fairs and livestock shows may have rules and regulations which they impose on the local, county, state, provincial and national levels.

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 rules adopted by 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.

Protests of rules, appeals from a decision of a judge, or appeals to a decision made by an oversight committee dealing with rules and regulations pertaining to the 4-H/FFA Shows/Exhibits must be submitted in writing to the President of The Great Frederick Fair within 24 hours, a copy of the protest will be immediately forwarded to the 4-H educator. All protests must be accompanied by a $100.00 deposit, refundable if protest/appeal is sustained; and a completed accident/incident report form, which can be obtained at the 4-H office trailer or a club leader. The Great Frederick Fair supports disciplinary policies and procedures that are in effect and imposed through proper guidelines and channels of the 4-H and FFA divisions. It is also The Great Frederick Fair's policy to forfeit any and all premiums and prize winnings if for any reason exhibitor dismissal is imposed.

The following is a list of guidelines for all exhibitors and all livestock in competitive events:1. All 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 a 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 animals 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 drugs administered in accordance with federal, state, and provincial statues, 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 form the animal in question and correctly reflects the condition of the animal at the time the sample was taken, with the burden of 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, conformation, or appearance except external applications of substance to the hoofs or horns

judgesjudg

es judges


of animals which affect appearance only and except for surgical procedures performed by a duly licenced 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 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 this 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 under stands 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.

The Agricultural Business Council, in conjunction with The Great Frederick Fair and the Ag Education PR Committee, is proud to announce the Wolfe Family as the 2017 Farm Family

of the year.Zene Wolfe grew up with a love of farming on his family’s farm,

which started out in the dairy business milking Guernsey cattle until 1955. After transitioning out of the dairy business Laurelane Farm expanded there beef cattle operation to today’s size. Audrey and Zene Wolfe worked part time on the farm while having careers off the farm which also helped to develop the skill set needed to support the farm. After retirement they went back to the farm full time. Today, Laurelane farm is a 135 acre farm located in Wolfsville, that raises Black Angus beef cattle both for sale privately and on the market.

This couple has dedicated themselves to giving back to the community. Audrey served on the Frederick County Farm Bureau Board of Directors for 7 years with two being served as 2nd Vice President. From 2006-2016 she was a member of the Frederick County Planning Commission helping to make decisions to shape Frederick County. Zene Served on the Frederick County Agricultural Land Preservation Advisory Board from 2002-2017 helping to preserve over 34,000 acres of prime farmland.

Laurelane farms is very passionate about preserving the environment, and has worked closely with the Frederick & Catoctin Soil Conservation District to implement best practices on their farm. These include grass waterways, manure pit, and pasture waterers for cattle on a rotational grazing systems. Zene spent countless hours serving on the Catoctin Soil Conversation District Board for 20 years.

This family is dedicated to Agriculture Education and the next generation. Laurelane farm has hosted the National Enviorthon for practice or the contest the last 2 times it was held in Maryland including the summer of 2017. You can often find them in the Farm and Garden Building throughout the week of the Great Frederick fair assisting with educational exhibits and sharing their love of Agriculture.

Involved in this family farm are Audrey and Zene’s two sons, Zene and Lauren. Zene and wife Sarah are now a partner in the family farm with his parents. Son Lauren and Wife Tamera also assists with the farming operation when help is needed.
