Nuckolls County Fair

Open Class-General Rules

Only persons in Nuckolls county or members of Nuckolls County Family & Community Education

Clubs will be eligible to exhibit in the Nuckolls County Fair. Senior citizens (over 65) and citizens under age

18 can exercise the option of entering a separate class for their age group.

Articles for county fair competition must have been made in the past five years and must not have

been exhibited at the Nuckolls County Fair previously. They must be the work of the exhibitor. If only a por-

tion of the article is to be judged, write on the tag EXACTLY which part is to be judged. All textile articles

should be clean and neatly pressed and must be finished.

Intergenerational Exhibits: We encourage intergenerational work. Put both names on the entry

tag. If one of the participants involved with the intergenerational item is not a resident of Nuckolls county,

the address of the Nuckolls County participant must be used on the entry tag. No out of county addresses

will be accepted on entry tags.

Open Class Committee shall consist of the Executive Officers of the Family & Community Education

Club Council.

While the greatest possible care will be exercised by the management to provide a safe environ-

ment, we are not responsible for any personal injury. The Open Class committee assumes no liability for

loss or damage to any property of the entrant. All possible care will be exercised in the handling and display

of all entries, but no responsibility will be assumed for damage while on exhibit, in transit, or through cir-

cumstances beyond our control.

4

Entry Times

Entries will be accepted on:

WEDNESDAY, July 5th, from 4:00-7:00 p.m. and THURSDAY, July 6th from 8:00 a.m.-10:00

a.m. Late entries will be ineligible to compete and will not be displayed.

Each exhibit will be identified with exhibitor’s name, address, lot and class number.

Perishable items that show spoilage or deterioration will be disposed of during the fair. By doing

this, the exhibits will be kept fresh and more attractive for the viewing public.

Entry Limits

Two articles per exhibitor in any one class number.

Example: Lot L– Fruit and Vegetables; Class 1596– Red Potatoes: Exhibitors are limited to two

plates of Red Potatoes.

The work/item must never have been previously entered at the fair.

Identification Label

To avoid lost or misplaced items, a label with the exhibitor’s name is suggested, but not required,

to be attached to each separate piece of an exhibit, in case the items should be separated during judging.

We are not responsible for lost items.

Entry Tag

Each exhibitor MUST fill out and attach an entry tag to each article prior to entry. Tags are availa-

ble at the Extension Office, or at the fair. Superintendents have the right to change exhibits to another

class if a different class is more appropriate for an item. Tags should be filled in before coming to the fair,

using the following details:

1. Fill out one entry tag for each exhibit entered.

2. Print with an ink pen. Press hard. Check both tag copies to see that they are readable.

3. Your Name.

4. Your Address including town.

5. Lot Letter – A, B. C, etc.

6. Class Number– Such as Red Potatoes; Class #1596.

7. Current year.

8. Do not fill in placing or premiums.

9. Attach entry tag and identification label to the

exhibit and bring to the fair.

5

Use of Entry Tags at the Fair

1. The exhibitors will take the exhibit and completed entry tag to the Superintendent in charge of the Lot

which the item is to be entered.

2. The Superintendent will check the Lot and Class numbers. Make sure both copies are legible and the

tag is attached securely to the article.

3. The Superintendents will sort articles by classes.

If you choose to do so, an entry may be covered appropriately (with clear plastic) to be protected from ele-

ments.

Judging

THE NUMBER OF ARTICLES ENTERED IN EACH CLASS HAS NO BEARING ON THE JUDGING.

If any exhibitor interferes with the judges in the performance of their duties, they shall be

excused from the competition and exhibition for a period of time as Management determines, and shall

forfeit any awards received at this fair. Any person, not an exhibitor, who interferes with the judges, shall

be asked to leave the judging area.

The decision of the judges will be final. Any exhibit deemed worthy by the judge will receive a ribbon and

money even if there is only one entry. Those entries receiving participation ribbons will not receive a pre-

mium.
