The 2010 Clearfield County Fair Premium Books are now available! If you haven't received one in the mail, feel free to pick one up at either the Clearfield County Fair Office or the Extension Office. This year's Clearfield County Fair will take place on Monday, August 2 - Saturday, August 7, 2010! All 4-H/Department 10 Entries should be completed on a 4-part form. 4-part forms are available at the Extension Office. To make it easier on those doing filing entries for the Fair, please use a separate 4-part form for each different category such as swine, goats, sheep, horses, dairy, vegetables, etc.... All Clearfield County Fair entries must be received by the Clearfield County Fair Office by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, July 23, 2010! No late entries will be accepted! Here are 10 tips to help you in completing your 2010 Clearfield County Fair Entry Blanks:
2. After you enter your 4-H projects, keep your premium books to use as a reference for animal weigh-in dates & times, animal show dates and times, superintendent contacts, and animal health rules and regulations.
3. Use a 4-part Entry Blank for ALL 4-H/Department 10 entries found on pages 41 through 49. On the 4-part forms: The White Copy goes directly to the Fair Office, a Canary Yellow Copy goes to the Extension Office, a Pink Copy goes to your 4-H Leader, and the Goldenrod Copy is for your records.
4. Let’s practice entering two (2) 4-H market swine. First, you go to pages 47 & 48 of the premium book. On the entry blank, where it asks for DEPARTMENT put the number 10. On the entry blank, where it asks for SECTION put 5A for market classes and 5B for fitting & showmanship. On the entry blank, where it asks for CLASS for Section 5A, please leave this blank, as you will be placed in your class after weigh-in. For Section 5B, select class 1-9 based on your age as of January 1st. CATEGORY can be left blank for this species (this is only needed to determine breeds or types). Then you will want to add a brief description under ANIMAL/ARTICLE (Example: Market Swine - Barrow). Finally, since you have two (2) animals you will repeat all the steps again!
5. Use a NEW 4-part Entry Form for all different sections you enter under 4-H Department 10 (Example: If you are showing both beef steer and lambs, one entry blank should list your Section 3 market beef classes along with your showmanship/fitting classes and a separate entry blank should list your Section 4 market lamb classes along with your showmanship/fitting classes.
6. If you are entering market animal classes, you will not know your weight class until weigh-in on Monday, August 2; therefore, the CLASS section of your entry can remain blank. After weigh-in, your animal(s) will be placed in the appropriate class.
7. Use a new entry blank for all different departments you enter. Please use a regular entry form located in the back of the premium book for all entries other than Department 10/4-H.
8. If you enter a 4-H project in the 2010 Clearfield County Fair, you should be completing the appropriate requirements in a 4-H project book.
9. Don’t forget about OPEN opportunities like Good Housekeeping (last section on each animal department), safe tractor driving contest for those ages 14-21 (page 92), and the Livestock Judging Contest for ages 8 to 19 (page 92).
10. Make sure your entry forms are received by the Clearfield County Fair & Park Board Office no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, July 23, 2010.
