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.

with your plant provider to determine if the plant has been recently introduced.

That Lady

She lives inside our GPS. She always knows which way to turn. She has a calm and soothing voice. I’m grateful she took time to learn,

every distance, every street.

But is she lonely? Can she eat?

Does she read a tiny map? Is she locked in there?

If we get lost out on the road does she even care?

How did she get a job like that? Will she ever grow?

That lady makes we wonder but I may never know

the answers to my questions. She just answers with directions.

Farming

Farming is not a job that just anyone can do In fact it’s a job that is done by few.

There’s always work to be done; rain or shine Oh, you need a nap? There is no time!

Throwing hay bales in the summer’s heat Or doing chores in the rain, snow or sleet.

Manual labour isn’t always fun But farmers do what they have to, to get the job

done.

When do farmers plant in the spring and harvest in the fall?

They rely on Mother Nature to help make that call.

Alfalfa is the oldest plant known that is used for livestock feed

A nutritious choice that is a supply in need.

Farming could not improve without science Together they have quite the alliance.

Keeping equipment and genetics up to speed Technology helps the farming industry succeed.

Harvest Celebration

Completion of the harvest, is a time to celebrate,

Leaves on trees are yellowing, around the whole estate,

Barns and bins are full to bursting, for winter now is here,

In olden days it was the same, to grow still takes a year.

A lot more hand work then, more men worked upon the land,

Ploughed with horses and acre a day, seed was sown by hand, Good rotation of all the crops, kept most weeds at bay,

At harvest stood sheaves up in stooks, for two church bells they must stay.

Into bays or ricks were built, threshed out as needed through the

year, Wheat went to the mill to be ground, flour for bread we do revere, Oats to feed the cattle and horses, and some for porridge bound,

To feed the men and families who, work on the land all year round.

Mechanized now and fewer men, but crops still grow the same, Sunshine and warmth in the spring, showers to grow good crops the

aim, In nature nothing really changes, seasons come and go,

To keep us on the land we all love, its food for everyone we grow.

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 2018 Listowel Fair. The poster should be no larger than 11”x17”.


A Different Kind of Hero

A hero to me is not just a person who died for their country or went inside a burning building although they are definitely heroes. A hero to me is a single mother who survives every day by herself,

A teenager against all odds getting through life, An alcoholic walking into a rehab centre,

A father being not just a father but a friend, caregiver, supporter, a brick wall for his kids.

A friend, who no matter what or how wrong you are, stands up for you and takes your side.

A hero, who no matter how hard they are being hit or pushed or beat down,

No matter how bad they are emotionally or physically or psychologically,

they stand up and keep going. They push through the pain of life, love, kids, work, school, drugs

sports, parents, heartbreak, alcohol; that to me is a hero. A person who isn’t just there, but is there living, breathing and

surviving.

Class C7 Using a 8 1/2” x 11” piece of paper, create an artistic display using one of the French interjections below: * Attention! * Silence! * Brrr! * Bravo! * D’accord! * or one of your own choosing Entry must be hand drawn.
