2 3 2018 FAIRBOOK DEDICATION Thelma Adams A tribute to Thelma’s lasting contributions. Seventy years ago Thelma first recited the 4-H pledge of her hands to larger service for her club, her community and her country. Through the years she has put her 4-H pledge into action by serving as a pantry and needlework assistant and superintendent, a Sunday School teacher who has lived her faith serving others, an election judge, a teacher’s aide, a dry cleaning business owner and a rancher. Thelma was a member of the Utopia Extension Homemakers Club for over 30 years. Thelma Laybourn grew up on a family farm in eastern Colorado near Cope in Washington County. Her family was active in -4 H. Thelma’s involvement with 4-H began, at age 10, with a fifth place win in the muffin contest. Harold, her brother and best friend recalls how proud she was and that after the fair she insisted on taking those muffins home for Dad to eat, even though they were as hard as a rock by then. She showed steers and participated in cooking and sewing. Thelma’s grandson Jason said that one of the things he remembers about Grandma around fair time was the amount of entries that she had in the fair, everything from quilts to cakes. There were times that she had multiple entries in the same class and would win all of the places. She would have foods, flowers and sewing projects in the fair once a year but that wasn’t the only time she would make them - it was a year around event for her. She loved to put her creations out there for everyone to see and taste that one time of the year but without really knowing it at the time, growing up we got to see her beautiful flowers, taste those same great first place goodies and get those same handmade quilts as gifts for all these years. Thelma continues to enter many flowers, baked goods, quilts and sewing but has never missed watching her grandchildren show their livestock. Grandson Keri added that Grandma taught him to tie his shoes and clean skunk spray off of his brother. Spending time with Grandma is always a pleasure because she smiles, she cares, she’s enamored by little babies and she is a wonderful person.

These memories were written with love by Thelma’s grandchildren, family, and friends.

Congratulations Thelma!!

9 Bill Jordan

We would like to thank Bill Jordan for his 32 years of service and help to the Rio Blanco County Fair. Bill has spent countless hours setting up for the fair each year and making sure everything was taken care of and running the way it should be. We will miss Bill being here at fair and we wish him the best of luck in his retirement.

Gary Dunham

We would like to take a moment to remember Gary Dunham. Gary has been a supporter of the Rio Blanco County Fair for many years and served as a Fairboard Member from 1971-1978. Even after stepping down from the Fairboard, the Dunham family has continued to support the fair every year through donations and by purchasing animals at the Livestock Sale. Gary’s boys were both 4-H members and showed swine, so their history runs deep with the Rio Blanco County Fair. Gary will be missed by everyone at the Rio Blanco County Fair.

Definitions:  Carving – is where you cut into the leather (usually swivel knife) as part of the design you are tooling.  Stamping/Tooling – is where you use impressions made from tools to form a design.  Cord---is round and waxed thread.  Lace---is flat with a shiny side and rough side.  Background Dyeing—dyeing a solid color to the area tooled with the backgrounder.  Solid color dying—is where you dye the whole project the same color. For example, you tool a belt and then dye it all black, or you make a book cover and dye it all one color.  Color shading—is where you use shades of color to make the design look more realistic. For example, you can use darker and lighter shades of a color on a flower you have tooled to make it look realistic, or an animal or figure of any kind.  Staining/Antiquing—using an antique finish like saddle tan—apply & remove/rub on & wipe off.  Clear finish—is a finish that has no color in it. For example, oil (no color added), leather finish spray or wipe on that has no color mixed in it. 31 2018 4-H RULES & CLASSES ENTOMOLOGY

The Extension Office will send notification to all exhibitors who receive a White Ribbon or lower for their record book.  Exhibitors in Open Departments must own their own livestock. Open livestock classes encourage junior entries. Livestock shown in Market divisions are not eligible to be shown in breeding classes.  To be eligible to sell an animal at the Livestock Sale, all youth must be present and show their own animal in the showmanship / market classes.  Youth are not allowed to sell an animal for another youth.

TAG IN, WEIGH-IN, AND FORM RULES  Rio Blanco County 4H/FFA youth may retag an animal into their name by June 30th, however; another Rio Blanco County 4-H/FFA youth member must have previously tagged in that animal by the official tag in date. The Extension Office must be notified with the production of a bill ofsale no later than June 30th.  Every youth may tag up to three animals per species and still sell two species. Also, the June 30th replacement rule is still in effect.  Family option rule is still in effect. Families may tag in (one animal per species) for each child, and then tag an extra animal which becomes the family animal. This animal can be substituted for any animal tagged in by a brother or sister prior to weigh-in at the Fair. The youth is responsible for reporting this change prior to the weigh-in. If a legitimate tagged animal does not make weight during the Fair weigh-in, then the family animal may weigh-in. If that animal makes weight, then it can replace the legitimate animal. At this time, the legitimate animal can only be used for showmanship—not the feeder, market, or breeding classes. Parents/Guardian’s must sign a paper which illustrates the various aspects of the Family Animal Rule during the spring weigh-in and their acceptance of the rules.  Please refer to the schedule at the front of Fair Book for all deadlines for entries of classes. Late entries will be charged a $10 late fee.  Entries not in position when final call is given, will not be eligible to show.  Pre-registration is required for all livestock projects.  Market animals must be tagged and identified at feeder shows or as directed by CSU Extension.  Youth may bring 2 animal entries per species to the Fair.  Scales are not available to weigh animals from Monday of Fair week until time of official weigh-in.  Animals will be weighed one time only.  Minimum weight is based on actual scale reading. If light weight, we will have an immediate re-weigh; animals with lower than minimum ultrasound readings will be immediately retested.  4-H/FFA animals may not leave the grounds once they have been weighed in.

STALL RULES  Indoor stall bedding may be wood chips, carpet, lining material, or bare ground for all livestock.  All animals must be stalled by 12:00pm on Wednesday, August 1st.  Stall Fee: $20 stall fee per specie for every exhibitor. This must be paid when you turn in your entry forms. Livestock superintendents will examine stall conditions by 11:00am on Sunday, August 6th, and issue a release document that will be used to receive a $15 refund/stall.

Unethical fitting and prohibited substances would be defined as: ALTERATION OF CONFORMATION AND STRUCTURE BY PROHIBITED SUBSTANCE OR UNETHICAL FITTING. Prohibited substance and/or unethical fitting defined as: the injections, use, or administration of any drug that is prohibited by Federal, State, or Local Law, or any drug that is used in a manner prohibited by Federal, State, or Local Law; the injection or internal or external administration of any product or material, whether gas, solid, or liquid, to an animal for the purpose of deception, including concealing, enhancing, or transforming the true conformation, configuration, color, breed, condition or age or by making the animal appear more sound than otherwise would appear; the administration, use, or application of any drug or feed additive affecting the central nervous system; the administration ofdiuretics for cosmetic purposes, tissue manipulation, removal, surgical attachment or otherwise to change, conceal, enhance, or transform the true conformation or configuration of the animal; attaching to the hide foreign objects including hair or hair substitutes, cloth or fiber for the purpose of deception; any physical or physiological attempt to alter the natural musculature or weight by use of injections or ingested material not conducive to the continued health or marketability of beef, sheep, swine, or goat carcasses or for deception. Members will not be allowed to use any and all artificial enhancements or artificial dies or body altering products. Items such as diesel, ice, tail fins or any artificially glued on hair products are strictly prohibited.  The use of any grooming material which produces artificial color that may be detected by rubbing with a cloth or glove, use of hair or hair-like substance, cloth or fiber anywhere on the animal, ineligible age or illegal substitution of animals, isolates these rules and will result in immediate disqualification with no recourse. The natural color of any beef animal cannot be altered using any artificial coloring. However, products that match a beef animal’s natural color may be used in the fitting process from the knees and hocks down and on the switch only. For example, black products may be used on a black legged animal, red on a red animal, and white on a white legged animal. But under no circumstances can color be used to cover an animal’s natural color.  Market Beef/Sheep/Goat projects must be roughed clipped prior to fair arrival. Animals not showing evidence of this will not be allowed on the premises and will be sent home. They may return after having been roughed clipped; however, you must be stalled by 12:00 PM August 1st.  There will be no clipping of swine projects at the fair.  Fitting Assistance can be given by any Rio Blanco County resident or affiliate to the 4-H/FFA program.  If a livestock exhibitor is charged with breaking this rule, the exhibitor will forfeit his/her right to show or sell their project.  If a livestock exhibitor is charged with professional fitting on the premises, the exhibitor will forfeit his/her right to show or sell their project.  Rio Blanco County Fair Board would encourage all club leaders to host 1 clinic per year where a professional fitter or groomer could come give an educational seminar or class on how to clip or fit his or her livestock project to enhance the educational value of participating 4-H/FFA Members.
