She won many Best of Shows and blue ribbons for her divinity candy, chiffon cakes and crocheted table cloths. She entered many other items as well. Pearl will be fondly remembered by those who were given samples of her cooking and also those who have made her crocheted items into heirlooms to be cherished for years. Pearl was a familiar face for many years at the Salinas Valley Fair volunteering in many ways, especially with the Silver Kings & Queens, spending numerous hours watching over the fair entries.

DIVISION 6121. All Market Steers sold through the Salinas Valley Fair Junior
Livestock Auction will be slaughtered for carcass evaluation. There will be no live pick-ups. Auction buyers will be re-quested to conform to this rule when designating disposition of animals purchased.
2. Carcasses will be graded at the slaughter house by USDA graders and the results compiled in cooperation with the Agricultural Extension Service.
3. To be eligible for cash awards, steers must not have more than one pair of permanent incisor teeth showing and the carcass must have a USDA quality grade of select plus or better. Results will be calculated for all steers entered.
4. Placing will be based on USDA yield and quality grades. The actual mechanics of applying these principles will be as follows:
a. Yield of boneless retail cuts to the nearest 0.1% will be determined from USDA yield grades.
b. Quality grades will be determined to the nearest one- third of a grade under current USDA standards.
c. Subtract 0.8% from the estimated yield of cuts for each one-third grade quality difference from high prime. This combines the yield and quality factors into
a carcass index. d. Ties in carcass index will be broken by dividing rib
eye area by hot carcass weight, and those with higher values will be ranked first.
5. Carcass evaluation awards presentation will be made at 6:00p.m., Tuesday, June 09, 2020 at the Salinas Valley
Fairgrounds Orradre Building. Please RSVP on entry form. Live carcass pictures of each animal will be shown along with data on carcass evaluation.

*** SPECIAL POULTRY NOTICE: ***Because of California State Poultry Health Regulations, all birds entered in the Fair must first pass through a certified poultry health inspection before being placed in their show cages. A special inspection site will be placed on the fairgrounds and birds must pass through this station before entering the poultry building. A notice will be sent to each exhibitor entered in the show, giving location of inspection station.
The Salinas Valley Fair remains committed to hosting a quality poultry exhibition. Health checks are mandated by the Division of Fairs & Expositions and will be performed by certified Poultry Health Inspectors (PHI) from one of the designated CDFA/UC certification Programs. The PHI will evaluate the health and condition of every bird entered. As a result, coop-in times may be delayed. Look for signs when you enter the fairgrounds as to where to take your bird(s) for the examination – DO NOT proceed to the poultry barn until your bird(s) have been examined. Please make sure you carefully examine each bird before you leave home and follow your regular cleaning procedures. Any birds that show signs of illness, stress, or are not in top quality condition will not be allowed to enter the show. Birds with wing feathers or any other feathers that have been clipped or trimmed will be disqualified.

University of California Cooperative Extension
4-H Equestrian Helmet Policy Effective July 1, 1994
1. Effective July 1, 1994, all youth and adults participating in any 4-H equestrian activity, regardless of riding seat, shall wear a properly fitted equestrian helmet which meets ASTM/SEI approval with secured chin harness properly fastened at all times when mounted on an equine or in a vehicle being pulled by one or more equines.
2. It is recommended that helmets be worn at all times when handling any equine (i.e. grooming, clipping, and lunging.)
3. It is the responsibility of the rider or the parent or guardian of the minor rider, to see to it that the headgear worn complies with such approved standards and carries the proper seals, and is properly fitted and in good condition. The University of California, Cooperative Extension staff and agents are not responsible for checking headgear for compliance. The University of California makes no representation or warranty expressed or implied, about such headgear and cautions riders that serious injury may result despite wearing headgear, as no helmet can protect against all foreseeable injuries in equestrian sports.
4. At any times during a 4-H equestrian activity, the 4-H Activity Leader (i.e. horse show manager, clinic organizer, club leader) may check a participant’s equestrian helmet for proper standards. Individuals found to be wearing an unapproved or defective helmet will not be permitted to participate in any mounted or driving activity until a proper helmet is acquired.
It is the University of California’s policy “that if any individual group or club does not adhere to this policy, they will cease to be affiliated with the University of California 4-H Youth Development Program.” This policy is effective July 1, 1994.
I agree to adhere to the University of California 4-HYDP policy on Equestrian Helmet use.
