Daily Program


Be active:Bike to the fair!With a common inter-

est in promoting a healthy lifestyle filled with exercise (and perhaps offsetting the food-on-a-stick things we all consume), Active Living of Alexandria and the Douglas County Fair are working together to encourage bicy-cling as a method of getting to this year’s fair.

Bicyclists are encouraged to enter at the Runestone

entrance (County Road 22) or the east gate (Fairgrounds Road). Upon entering the fairgrounds, they will find free parking and bicycle racks near the entrance gates.

Please note the map on Page 6 for bicycle rack loca-tions. Cyclists are reminded of the regulations prohibiting bicycle travel while on the fairgrounds. If you’re interested in exhibiting at the

MN State Fair, visit

www.mnstatefair.org/competition/how_to_enter.htmlThe site contains detailed information regard-ing each deparment, downloadables (including premium books) and links to online registra-tion (where applicable).

It’s that time of year again – time to enter your projects in Open Class at the Douglas County Fair!

Be it a favorite photograph you took this past year; a quilt you made; sewing, knitting, tat-ting or any favorite craft project you completed; those beautiful flowers you have; a big tomato or other vegetables from your garden; that tasty baking and canning you do; those impres-sive paintings – we would love to put them on display for you.

Anyone from preschoolers to senior citizens are eligible to enter.

Entry Day for Open Class is Tuesday, August 16. You may bring in your entries between the hours of 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Don’t forget to get a regis-tration number at the Harold Johnson Building. If you are

entering flowers, we provide white vases (tall and short) to dis-play your entries. Please leave a generous length of stem on your entry. Please check the premium list carefully to make sure that you have entered your exhibits in the correct lot. An exhibitor may enter as many items as they want, but remember, only ONE entry per lot is allowed. Exception: Div. 7 Fine arts has only 1 entry per class allowed.

The rules are listed at the top of each division. Judging of the entries will be Wednesday, August 17. The Open Class buildings will be open to fairgoers from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Exhibits will be released on Sunday, August 21 from 6 to 8 p.m. or Monday, August 22 from 8 to 10 a.m. No early releases!

HARVEST AND CLEANING TIPSTry to harvest root crops when soil is dry. Should not be woody or

overgrown. Tops should be trimmed to 2” above crown. Take care not to break natural protective skin or outer layer. Stems should be left on all except tomatoes and muskmelons to keep from drying out.

Dirt detracts from appearance but it is not advisable to wash all vegetables to clean them. Tender-skinned peas, beans, summer squash, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant should be wiped clean with soft cloth. If necessary to wash root crops, soak in cool water, gently wash with soft cloth; do not scrub. Leafy cabbage, lettuce, spinach and Swiss chard can be washed carefully. A soft bristled brush can be used to clean cauliflower, kohlrabi, cucumbers and onions of any soil.

Sweet Corn: Select ears well filled out to tip. Kernels should be milky. Leave 2 banner leaves on husks. Trim silks to 1”. Trim shank to 1”.

Eggplant: Trim stems to 1-1/2 - 2”. Calyx should be green. Avoid large fruits.

Kohlrabi: Ball 2-3” diameter with root removed just below ball. Trim back leaves on upper 1/3 of ball to 4-6”. Remove all other leaves.

Muskmelon: Harvest when they separate easily from the vine. Specimens should be free of spots and injuries.

Parents! Bring your children to

the FFA Children’s Barnyard. The barn will be filled with hands-on activities. We hope to get kids interested in agriculture and to start to understand it’s importance to all of us. Children that attend the barnyard will learn how to milk a cow, observe baby chickens and understand modern agriculture production practices and technology. Local FFA members will be pres-ent to assist you and answer ques-tions about how agriculture improves our lives each day. The Children’s Barnyard is located on the north end of the fairgrounds next to the DNR building.

DOUGLAS COUNTY AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATIONThe history of the fair reaches back to pioneer days. According to research, a Douglas

County Fair Association was organized on January 18, 1874 for the purpose of hold-ing annual fairs in the village of Alexandria. The association established a fair-grounds and conducted exhibits for some years. That association was succeeded by the Douglas County Agricultural Society, which filed articles of incorporation on April 12, 1888 and held creditable fairs until the leadership of the group passed to persons whose main interest was in the sporting side of horse racing. Public support fell away and that society disbanded and county fairs ceased.

The void was partially filled by Superintendent T.A. Erickson’s school fairs and the Alexandria Street Fairs, sponsored by the Alexandria Commercial Club. These fairs merged their interests and brought about the for-mation of the Douglas County Agricultural Association, which continues today.

The original 27 members who met to begin this association decided that to have it be a true county organi-zation there must be representation from all five commissioners’ districts. This requirement was eventually met and on September 5, 1911, the Articles of Incorporation were filed. The decision was made to hold the 1911 fair in the business district of Alexandria, patterned after the street fairs held previously but to solicit more exhibits from around the county. The total expense was figured at $2,200.

The association sponsored the next four street fairs in Alexandria and included the school industrial contest exhibits. With the outbreak of World War I in Europe, the association became dormant.

The success of neighboring community fairs in 1923 awakened members of the association to the need for a revival of the county fair. So this revived the Douglas County Agricultural Association to sponsor the annual County Fair, which has been continuous since 1924.

The fair began as an agricultural event for the purpose of providing a place for county residents to exhibit their products. Youth projects such as 4-H were able to enter and compete for prizes. While many aspects of the fair have changed over the years, the main philosophy remains the same: to provide opportunities for our patronage to touch base with the agricultural heritage of Douglas County.

We would like to invite you to become a member of the Douglas County Agricultural Association. Please join us today and become an active part of the fair.

What can I do in 4-H?4-H has something for everyone!

ect they choose, through 4-H, youth will learn public speaking skills, how to col-laborate, understand gov-ernment and community, and how to develop and reach life and career goals.

Little Miss Douglas County Princess Pageant


This exhibit presents the movie theater poster for the movie Iron Will that was produced in Northeastern Minnesota in 1994. The story is of Will Stoneman, whose father dies and he is left to fend for the family. Needing money, he enters the most brutal of all dog sled races.

The exhibit includes the actual sled used in the movie, along with the hat and buckskin coat. These are owned by the presenters, Joe and Robin, who will also display a sled dog for visitors to pet and to learn about the experience of dog sledding.

They will talk about what kind of care is needed for the animals and what happens in the training process when a bond is developed between man and dog and they become a team of one.

Joe and Robin raise and train dogs for the challenge of dog sledding.
