Leading By Example
Our Tradition of Community Support
The Commercial & Savings Bank understands the importance and value of community service. In that
tradition, look for the many ways CSB is supporting the Holmes County Fair. We are proud to have clerked the
livestock auction since 1970. You will find us purchasing animals, sponsoring the Stage on the Green and providing
4-H Mini-Grants throughout the year, which are designed to instill community service in our next generation of
America’s leaders. While visiting the fair, be sure to stop by to see us at our booth in the commercial tent.
Running low on cash while at the fair? Don’t forget CSB has an ATM on the fairgrounds!

1. Tenderfoot classes will be offered to beginners with a
three year limit. Rider may advance from Tenderfoot to
more advanced classes during the season, but may not
revert back to Tenderfoot. Classes will be judged at a
walk/trot only. Any other gait will cause disqualification in the class. (3 strides)
2. The 4-H’er showing for their first year in Tenderfoot
may use the same horse as an older sibling, as long as
they are in the immediate family and the older sibling
is in Junior or Senior classes. Once the member starts
the season sharing a horse they may not show any other
horse until the next season. When sharing a horse the
Tenderfoot member loses their option to move to more
advanced classes. It is the parents’ responsibility to make
sure the younger child is able to control the horse.
3. In all Gymkhana classes, horse and rider may be as-
25
sisted up to the entrance gate, but the horse and rider
must enter the arena alone. The rider must not enter
the gate faster than a trot, must stop forward motion by
completely stopping, or do a circle prior to starting the
pattern.
4. There are no crops, whips, bats or over and under ropes
permitted in Gymkhana classes.
5. All classes not designated English or Western are open
to either.

member of the household. It is also for those exhibitors
who have a mixed breed rabbit. All exhibitors enrolled
in this project are encouraged to exhibit their animal at
the fair. These animals will be judged in the Pet Rabbit Show only; they will NOT be permitted entry into
the regular All Breed Show to compete against other
rabbits of the same breed. The pet show will be judged
on exhibitor knowledge, condition of the rabbit, and basic showmanship techniques. All pet rabbits MUST be
permanently tattooed in the left ear. Pet rabbit projects
are NOT eligible to show in any other class including
regular showmanship.
9. Dress Code for the Show: Accepted dress for the rabbit
show will consist of the following: a long sleeved shirt
or lab coat in the color of light blue or white, and long
pants. No shorts or open-toed shoes.
10. No one is to be in the rabbit barn between the hours
of 11 PM. - 6 AM except in the case of an emergency
involving your animal.
11. Only pine shavings (NO cedar shavings) and/or wheat
straw will be accepted as bedding for all rabbit projects during the fair. This is to protect the health of your
animal.
12. No locks on cages: This is so that, if there is an emergency, the vet has access to your animal(s).

Tunnel of Fudge Cake
CAKE:
1 ¾ cup butter, softened
1 ¾ cup granulated sugar
6 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup cocoa powder
2 cups chopped walnuts
GLAZE:
¾ cup powdered sugar
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 ½ - 2 tablespoons milk
Beat butter and granulated sugar in large bowl until light
and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each
addition. Gradually add powdered sugar, blending well.
By hand, stir in flour, cocoa powder and walnuts until well
blended.
Spoon batter into greased and floured 12 cup Bundt pan or
10 inch angel food tube pan. Bake at 350 F for 58-62 minutes. Cool upright in pan on cooling rack 1 hour. Invert
onto serving plate. Cool completely.
To make Glaze: Combine powdered sugar, cocoa powder
and milk in small bowl until well blended. Spoon glaze
over top of cake, allowing some to run down sides. Yields
16 servings.
Note: Nuts are essential for success of recipe. Because
cake has soft tunnel of fudge, ordinary doneness cannot
be used. Accurate oven temperature and baking time are
critical. In altitudes above 3500 feet, increase flour to 2 ¼
cups plus 3 tablespoons.

Old Fashioned Buttermilk Bread
5 ½ - 6 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 envelopes rapid rise yeast
2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup water
1/3 cup butter or margarine, cut up
In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, sugar, undissolved
yeast, salt and baking soda. Heat buttermilk, water and
butter until very warm (120 to 130 F). Butter does not
need to melt; mixture will appear curdled. Stir into dry
ingredients. Stir in remaining flour to make soft dough.
Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic,
about 6-8 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
Divided dough in half; roll each into 12 x 7 rectangle. Beginning at short end, roll up tightly; pinch seam and ends
to seal. Place each, seam side down, in greased 8 ½ x 4 ½
loaf pans. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until
doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.
Bake at 375 F for 30-35 minutes or until done. Remove
