24 25 26 27 INTRODUCTION
The Board of Directors of the Cleveland County Free Fair Association takes pleasure in presenting
herewith the Premium List. Rules and Regulations governing the Annual Free Fair, to be held at
the Cleveland County Fair Grounds, 615 E. Robinson, Norman, OK.
The Cleveland County Fair Board welcomes all Cleveland County residents young and old to exhibit and attend the Cleveland County Free Fair.
Every effort is being made by the board to make this a successful fair with a large number of quality exhibits, plenty of entertainment and a place for you to meet your friends. With your cooperation, we believe that a very successful fair can be held this year, which will not only have an educational value, but will also assist in maintaining the morale of Cleveland County farmers, 4-H and
FFA Club members and encourage the production of more and better quality food products.
This catalog, including the premium list for this year's Cleveland County Free Fair, is being printed
previous to final action on the Cleveland County Free Fair estimate by the County Commissioners
and the Cleveland County Excise Board. This catalog is being issued, therefore, with the distinct
understanding that is, for any reason what ever, sufficient funds are not available to pay in full
premium and awards as listed, the Cleveland County Fair Board reserves the right to prorate premiums on a percentage basis. The attention of all exhibitors is especially called to this condition
and provision and exhibits are accepted only with definite understanding.
It is the purpose of the Board of Directors to do everything that is possible to make this Free Fair a
success and to add to the comforts, pleasures and convenience of the visitors and exhibitors who
attend. The Free Fair Association earnestly solicits your support and your cooperation in making
this fair a success, as no other factor does more to stimulate and improve farm condition than
agricultural fairs, where one may observe the improvements of farm crops and animals and compare them with their own.
To boost attendance, we encourage you to bring exhibits. It's this type of support that makes for a
successful FAIR.

Superintendents: Cleveland County Master Gardeners
Judges: Courtney Keck, Megan Neal
Fruit & Vegetables items not placing must be picked up by 6:00 PM the day of judging.
1st, 2nd, & 3rd place items will be displayed.
MUST BE GROWN BY EXHIBITOR.
Advice to Horticultural Entrants:

Your entry should be as fresh as possible. Pick your entry the day the entries are due. Do not include
entries which are fully ripe and beginning to go soft.

All entries should be clean. Check to make sure there are no insects attached or crawling. Do not include
entries with insect damage (This is particularly important for flowers and flower arrangements)

The judge will be looking for consistency in size, shape, color, and degree of ripeness. If the category calls
for several examples of a particular fruit or vegetable, try to exhibit those which are as similar to one another
as possible. Remember “consistency” within the entries with multiple fruits or vegetables.

Okra, peppers, eggplants, squash, and pumpkins should retain a portion of the stem attached. Consistency
in stem length is ideal. Stems on pumpkins should be approximately 3 inches in length.

Forage grasses should be equal length, tightly bound, and with the bottom of the stems cut evenly across
the bundle. They should be clearly identified or marked, and look fresh.

55 56 Have You Heard About Cleveland County Oklahoma Home and Community Education (OHCE)? Cleveland County OHCE has been a part of our community since 1916. Yes, the name has changed but we still are here to educate and help our neighbors and ourselves while we have fun sharing time together. You might know us better by the name Home Demonstration or Extension Homemakers. Originally and still today, OHCE is intended to offer homemakers (working outside the home or not) an opportunity for self‐development, to learn and teach homemaking skills and be social with other like minded people. Our Creed starts with the words, “We believe the family should come first in the life of the individual, the community, and the nation.” Check out our Country Store, buy a delicious Indian Taco and see the exhibits in Building E. If your in the arena stop by the concession stand and get a hot dog or nachos. Funds raised are used for high school senior scholarships and other educational activities. Come join in the fun and visit our membership table in Building E and join OHCE during the County Fair or contact Brenda Hill @ 405‐321‐4774 for more information about becoming a member. 57 OKLAHOMA HOME & COMMUNITY EDUCATION

Fabrics & Fashions (Design and Construction)
The Skill Mastery sheet http://4h.okstate.edu/literature-links/lit-online/family-consumerscience/fabric/skill-mastery-sheets is an education tool to guide project construction for
fair exhibits. The projects have been carefully selected and directed for members to
investigate and learn specific skills and information. The end product is being evaluated
on the skills “you learned,” as identified on the age appropriate skill sheet. It is
encouraged that the sheet be submitted with the exhibit with the exception of the story
board, portfolio and creative components. The intent is that the sheet serves as a
“personal reflection” which shows the judge how much you really learned. Why?
Because in 4-H, reflection and application are just as important as the end product.
Sheets will not be displayed and will be returned. Not because the sheet is not important,
but to simplify displaying.
Use the skill sheet as a planning tool. Ask yourself, “What skills are necessary to learn
and appropriate to apply to my project’s design and construction?” It is important that
each 4-H member take responsibility for the life skill of “learning to learn.” This may
require members, leaders and educators to look up terms and learn techniques as part of
the educational process.
Projects being exhibited for competition will be evaluated on the 4-H members “mastery”
of skill(s) and subject matter. The 4-H Fashion and Fabrics Member’s & Leader’s Guides
provide basic information that members need to learn (master) and demonstrate in their
project work. Members are encouraged to seek out other valid resources which teach
proper technique and knowledge in the areas of design and construction.
General Skills to be mastered in project/product in ADC, IDC and HTDC:
Structural Design: Construction technique, size, form, color and texture suited to the
materials and product end use.
Elements of Design: The finished product illustrates the member is learning or “mastering”
the basic elements of design - line, shape or form, texture, color, and space.
Principles of Design: The finished product illustrates an awareness and application of the
principles of harmony, proportion, balance, rhythm and emphasis adding dimension,
interest and/or appeal to the finished product.
Surface Design: Any lines, shapes, colors, textures, or materials applied to the product or
item design that creates an emotional or personal quality, individuality and creative
expression without disturbing initial/end purpose.
Design is that “something” which makes the item unique to the individual.
Project Resources – Go to http://4h.okstate.edu/literature-links/lit-online/family-consumerscience/fabric Family and Consumer Sciences for guidance for some of the new projects.
These resources will better define multimedia, storyboard, portfolio, scientific and service
learning models, leadership, historical/cultural significance, etc.
Got Questions? Ask them on the OK 4-H Fabric and Fashions Q&A Facebook page

practices are considered unacceptable in the presentation of livestock. The use of such practices
or procedures is, therefore, considered a violation of the Rules and Regulations governing this show.

decisions are final.
1.The exhibitor must be the sole owner of any animals shown in his/her name. Junior exhibitors
must have owned, cared for daily and fed market animals from not later than the date nominated or
date listed in premium list of show. All other animals, including dairy animals, must be owned by or
transferred to the exhibitor by the required date listed in the show premium list.

bonafide owner is not able to be in attendance. Such cases must be approved by the management.
Each animal offered for sale must be handled in the ring by the bonafide owner.
5.Do not misrepresent the age of the animal for the class in which it is shown. Market steers and
lambs must follow the tooth rule as printed in the premium list of the show. Birth dates, transfer
dates and other information on registration papers must be correct.
6.Treating or massaging any part of the body internally or externally with an irritant, counter-irritant,

drugs, depressants or applying packs (hot or cold) or using any artificial contrivance or therapeutic
treatment except normal exercise is prohibited.
8.Striking the animal to cause swelling is prohibited.

all species, for the duration of the junior division of the show. In swine, no powdering, oiling,
painting or dressing other than water will be permitted.
14.The use of any chemical and/or compound that is not approved by the Food and Drug
Administration for use in meat producing animals and the illegal use of approved chemicals and/or
compounds are prohibited. All animals shall be subject to test (blood, urine and tissue) for foreign
substances that exceed the acceptable levels established by the United States Department of
Agriculture, Food and Drug Administration. A positive test will result in disqualification, forfeiture of
any premiums and/or awards and will exclude the exhibitor, organized group, or individual involved
from future competition at this show. Licensed veterinarians will administrate all medications at the
show.

declared ineligible or barred from exhibiting at the event.
17.Exhibitors, organized groups or any individual switching animals at any time and changing ear tags
and other forms of identification will be barred from showing and will forfeit all prizes and premium
money.
18.Junior exhibitors, and adults involved with the exhibitors, are expected to adhere to the General
Rules and Regulations of junior livestock shows including the Show-Ring Code of Ethics as well as the
Rules and Regulation governing the Junior Division.
19.Any violation of the Rules and Regulations incorporated in the premium list, the Show-Ring Code
of Ethics and the Junior Division Rules and Regulations may result in forfeiture of all premiums and
awards, disqualification and expulsion or probation of the exhibitor, organized group, any individual or
livestock involved. Probation, disqualification, expulsion or other disciplinary action of the Management will be final. Such action will require application for readmission under such terms as the Management may prescribe before the group or individual is allowed to exhibit at future events.
Violations of rules at a show which is a member of show support organizations including The Oklahoma Association of Fairs and Festivals, the American Livestock Show and Rodeo Managers Association, and the International Association of Fairs and Exposition, may affect the eligibility of the violators
for participation in any show throughout the country, regardless of the show's membership in these
organizations.
