Our county fairs are a family tradition for many Michiganders. It’s an entertainment staple celebrating our agricultural heritage and showcasing the diversity and innovation of our growing food and ag sector. Millions of Michigan citizens and tourists attend county fairs every year. In fact, agriculture has always been an integral part of our state and its future has never been brighter. It uses cutting-edge technology, incorporates environmental practices, and is an industry filled with career opportunities. I am proud of Michigan’s 4-H program and the tremendous accomplishments of our FFA peers. Thanks to Michigan’s local and county fairs, Michigan youth have the opportunity to showcase their hard work while educating fairgoers about the state’s food and agriculture industry. Careers in food and agriculture are limitless – everything from veterinarians, soil scientists, and microbiologists to metrologists, food scientists, engineers, and more! Our county fairs are full of local charm, family fun and agricultural traditions. This year, be sure to visit a local or county fair as part of your Michigan summer travel plans. Sincerely, Rick Snyder Governor 4 STATE OF MICHIGAN RICK SNYDER DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE GORDON WENK GOVERNOR AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR Dear Friends, Welcome to the 2018 county fair season! Millions of people attend Michigan's county fairs each year, and this year's fair season promises to provide the sights, sounds and activities that have become an annual tradition for many of us. Michigan fairs are an important part of our state's growing food and agriculture industry, helping to reconnect consumers and communities with agri-food traditions while highlighting modern agriculture techniques. Our state's nearly 90 local, county and state fairs provide safe, family-friendly entertainment and celebrate the bounty of our agricultural harvest. Fairgoers and local businesses support the nearly 50,000 Michigan youth who participate in livestock and community arts exhibitions each year. Many of our exhibitors use the auction proceeds to help fund their college education or vocational training after high school. Whether you are here as a sponsor or exhibitor, or simply to enjoy the livestock shows, food, midway rides, and entertainment, I wish you great adventures during the 2018 fair season. gards, R Director CONSTITUTION HALL • P.o.

  • A Practical Guide to Petitioning for a Grant of Arms’
    Welcome to Version 1.2 (20th September 2016) A Practical Guide to Petitioning for By Paul D Jagger a Grant of Arms 1 Welcome to ‘A Practical Guide to Petitioning for a Grant of Arms’. These materials support a face-to-face workshop on the subjects of heraldry and petitioning the Crown for arms in the Commonwealth realms, Crown Dependencies and Territories. For the sake of simplicity the following slides focus on the heraldic practices of HM College of Arms in the City of London covering England, Wales, Norther Ireland, the Crown Dependencies, Territories and the Commonwealth Realms other than Canada. Scotland has enjoyed its own heraldic authority since before the union of the crowns. Agenda An Introduction to Heraldry Petitioning for arms Displaying arms Preparing your petition Frequently Asked Questions Further reading and resources 2 Heraldry: An Introduction 3 We will now explore some of the concepts and terminology of heraldry, the law of arms and gain a brief insight in to blazon, the language of heraldry. The photo was taken by the author in the great hall at Queens’ College, Cambridge. Heraldic Myths Busted There is no such thing as a coat of arms for a surname The words crest, badge and coat of arms are not synonymous There are no fixed meaning for colours or symbols in heraldry You cannot buy your family coat of arms from a tourist shop or website You don’t have to be a Lord or a Knight to be granted arms 4 Before we proceed with the substance of this workshop it may be helpful to dispel a few common myths and misconceptions about heraldry and coats of arms.

  • Chalinus Armiger in Plautus' Casina WILLIAM S. ANDERSON
    Chalinus armiger in Plautus' Casina WILLIAM S. ANDERSON The first surviving occurrence of armiger meets us in Plautus, who uses the noun six times. Of these, one, the earHest, appears in Merc. 852, and all others define an important character of the Casina, the slave Chalinus. It is not immediately clear, when in the prologue of Casina (55) we first hear of the slave as armor-bearer, whether any nuances attach to the word. Since this matter has not been adequately studied (nor the significance of the armor-bearer in the comedy) I shall bring evidence to bear on armiger and show that the word was probably pro- saic in its original usage, therefore in all likelihood introduced by Plautus himself, and consequently we should think of Chalinus as a lowly character, not the typical servus urbanus or callidus: he is a man whose physique and militant past operate more significantly in the comedy's themes than his cleverness. The reader of Augustan poetry might well query my first point, for armiger as noun appears predominantly in poetry in the Augustan period, notably in the Aeneid} and armiger as adjective seems to be 'Vergil uses armiger six times; five in the nominative (Aen. II. 477, V. 255, IX. 564 and 648, XI. 32) and once in the accusative (IX. 330). In his commentary on II. 477, R. G. Austin wrote of the word: "a Piautine noun (Merc. 852, etc.), introduced by Virgil into high poetry" (p. 188). Such an assertion is a bit risky, since Cicero alone employs the word between the occurrences in Plautus and Vergil.

  • The Use of Heraldry in Genealogical Research John P
    The Use of Heraldry in Genealogical Research John P. DuLong 11 October 2018 Topics • What is heraldry? • How heraldry can help solve genealogical problems. • Misuse of heraldry and “folk heraldry.” • Examples of heraldry evidence from my own research in Ireland, England, Scotland, France, Italy, and Belgium. • If time permits, then I will address registering arms and grants of arms. What is Heraldry? • Heraldry has come to mean the system of arms involving the use of particular devices centered on a shield that has become hereditary symbols passed down through a family, normally through the eldest son. • In some countries it is tied to social stratification and is a mark of nobility, in other countries heraldry is also used by non-nobles. • Although there are some general rules of heraldry that apply everywhere, some heraldry practices do vary from country to country. • In America, where many of our founding fathers used armorial bearings, it is more equalitarian and does not imply nobility. • For genealogists, heraldry is a tool that can be used to solve genealogical problems and to provide background for our research. General Rules of Heraldry • We will not be reviewing the rules of heraldry in detail here or the technical terms involved in heraldry. • See the handout for some of the technical terms and for a bibliography of works regarding heraldry. • There is one rule that I would like to very clear: It is bad form, and in some countries illegal, to use the arms of others without a right to them though inheritance. Use of Heraldry in Genealogy • Heraldry is not just something of esthetic interest, but of practical value when doing genealogy on bourgeois, gentry, and noble ancestors in Europe.
