HOW TO ENTER THE FAIR This is the Exhibitors Guidebook, published yearly and it lists all the different departments and competitions that you can enter so you can be part of the fair! 1. Choose Competitions – After you choose what competitions you want to enter, you need to “enter them”. You can either fill out a paper entry form, or sign up through the online entry system available at our website: www.sonomacountyfair.com. (Make sure you read the department rules and schedules listed at the beginning of each department.) 2. Entry Forms – A general entry form is included as a tear out sheet in this book. You can make copies of this form, print out from our website or pick up more from the Entry Office. (Each person entering items needs to have their own separate form.) • For Non-Livestock Departments, use general entry form, (please list Gardening Department entries on a separate form.) • For Livestock Department Entries: Use one Livestock Entry form per specie (Market animals need to be listed on the special blue entry forms.) 3. Fill Out the Form! Make sure you fill out your entry form completely and sign! Enter the class you feel is best suited for your exhibit and if you have any questions, please call or stop by the entry office for some help. The Fair may transfer entries into correct classes if something is entered incorrectly, but the Fair will not be liable for entries made in error. (If you enter online, you will use the easy drop down menus to select your divisions and classes.) 4. Deadlines to Enter – • Paper Entries due by 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 7 for most categories.

The carnival midway attractions, from the Helms & Sons rides and games to the food vendors and other concessions, guarantee family fun for all ages – whether you were born in the Age of Aquarius or the digital age. And, traditional Sonoma County Fair attractions, such as the arts and crafts exhibits, Junior Livestock Show and auctions, and Wine Country Horse Racing, will recall for fairgoers an era when The Youngboods invited us to “C’mon people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now....” It is impossible for us to extend this invitation without acknowledging that the Sonoma County Fair family lost one of its greatest champions and innovators this year, Saralee McClelland Kunde. Saralee loved the idea of this theme, complete with tie-dye t-shirts, love beads, bellbottom jeans, maxi-skirts and afros! We hope you will embrace our theme as Saralee might have – don’t be afraid to don your vintage hippie chic, wear flowers in your hair, and celebrate all things Sonoma County at this year’s Sonoma County Fair! Warmly, Lisa G. Carreño, President Sonoma County Fair Board of Directors DOUG BERETTA Buildings & Grounds Competitive Exhibits-Chair Executive/Personnel DAVE LEWERS Competitive Exhibits Concessions/Vendors Publicity/Attractions CINDY CRANE Budget & Finance Racing Buildings & Grounds Executive/Personnel MARILYN HERZOG Competitive Exhibits Concessions/Vendors Publicity/Attractions Executive/Personnel ROSS LISCUM Buildings & Grounds – Chair Budget & Finance Racing TEEJAY LOWE Racing Budget & Finance – Chair Buildings & Grounds Executive/Personnel 6 BOARD OF DIRECTORS BOB HIGHAM Publicity/Attractions Concessions/Vendors Competitive Exhibits MARCIE MICKELSON Budget & Finance Concessions/Vendors Competitive Exhibits MAX MICKELSEN Building & Grounds Budget & Finance Racing - Chair ANNETTE O’KELLEY Competitive Exhibits Concessions/Vendors Publicity/Attractions BEV PALM Budget & Finance Publicity/Attractions Buildings & Grounds LISA WITTKE SCHAFFNER Concessions/Vendors – Chair. Publicity/Attractions Racing WANDA TAPIA Marketing, Publicity & Attractions Concessions, Vendors, & Fair Operations Competition Exhibits, & Educational Exhibits MISSION STATEMENT To promote and protect agricultural and social values, to enrich educational, cultural and recreational well being, and to contribute to the economic development of our service area by utilizing our fairgrounds for attractive and financially responsible programs and events on a year-round basis. *Promoting agricultural values will stimulate an appreciation for the complexity of agriculture, its impact on the health and well-being of the public, and the need to maintain a viable food system. *Agricultural values include the raising of livestock and crops by young people, which promotes the value of hard work and the love of animals and the soil. *By promoting social values we mean to provide an environment for families to interact with each other as they participate and compete in fair programs and events and the positive aspect of competition. *Education is promoted by providing a showcase for displays, demonstrations, judging and contests. *Cultural well being is an awareness of the current and historical significance that make up the tradition and custom of the people in our service area. *By providing a recreation facility we create the opportunity for people to participate in play, diversion and relaxation. *Economic development is an opportunity for showcasing business enterprises; an arena for people to spend money for goods and services in Sonoma County and an opportunity for the Sonoma County Fair & Exposition Inc. to spend its dollars in a cost effective way.

Jamison Perpetual Trophy 2014 Recipient: David Evans, Marin Sun Farms, Point Reyes The J.W. Jamison Perpetual Trophy is awarded annually to an individual whose contributions have enriched Sonoma County agriculture and who is recognized as outstanding in the industry. The award recipient must reside in the North Bay and be involved in the production of Beef, Dairy Cattle, Dairy Goats, Sheep, Swine, Poultry or Rabbits. The trophy is sponsored and presented by the Sonoma County Fair on Farmer’s Day, Sunday, July 27 in Chris Beck Arena. Fourth generation rancher David Evans has taken his family’s legacy of farming to a new level. Raised in the rolling grasslands of Point Reyes National Seashore, the Evans family started in the dairy business and diversified into a beef operation in the 1970s. After graduating from Cal Poly with a degree in Farm and Ranch Management, a young Evans returned home with a mindset to do things differently. His goal was to create a more sustainable food model that conserved landscapes and restored the vitality of the region he treasured. Evans convinced his parents to let him try rotational grazing with the herd which delivered impressive results. Slowly Evans began to buy his own cattle, raising them on grass from start to finish. Today the Evans family leases the land in Point Reyes and owns over 3,800 acres in Sonoma and other parts of Marin. In 1998 Dave founded Marin Sun Farms, an extension of the family farm committed to producing local, pasture based food with the aspiration of building a sustainable food model. He raises 100% grass-fed beef, lamb, goat, chickens and pork with a strict requirement that all animals be free of antibiotics and hormones, treated humanely and never raised in confinement. With Dave’s hands-on leadership, Marin Sun Farms has brought to the marketplace and communicated to countless people, the value of high quality meat production and its vital connection to environmental stability. Dave’s commitment to the industry stems from his time showing animals at the Sonoma County Fair. “I showed beef cattle and market cteers. I also participated in photography and meteorology. The whole experience was a special time for me to learn and grow within the agricultural community in the North Bay.” The Sonoma County Fair is proud to present this year’s award for Outstanding North Bay Rancher to Marin Sun Farms.

MADDALENA MEMORIAL TROPHY 2014 Recipients: George Grossi and Son Dairy Selected for ranch appearance, herd management and leadership in the dairy industry and community, George Grossi & Son Dairy earn the 2014 Dairy of the Year award for the North Bay region. The Sonoma County Fair and local dairymen present the honor in loving memory of Edward J. Maddalena during Farmer’s Day at the Sonoma County Fair, Sunday, July 27 in Chris Beck Arena. Dominic Grossi says he will “never forget” those 3 a.m. wake up calls or the long walk down to the barn to milk cows. Those life experiences built a work ethic that’s imprinted on his soul while participating in the Fair each year. He treasures the “Fair friends” that he made and still has today. “We learned to work together to get our chores done each day,” says Grossi, who along with his wife Nancy now manages his family’s fourth generation owned and operated farm of more than 450 acres. In the midst of industry change, the Grossi work ethic has served the family well—hard work, efficiency and innovation have kept the farm going. That innovation has involved diversifying into beef cattle and educating people about the life and business of dairy farming. “We believe in promoting consumer understanding about farming, about tracing food origins and about the humane treatment of farm animals,” says Grossi. The Grossi family has built a name on responsible farming and conscientious community involvement. Dominic’s mother, Annette Grossi, opened the farm to tours in the 1970’s and personally educated over 4,000 local second graders about life on the farm. Today, her award-winning blog “Wife of a Dairyman” entertains and educates readers on everything from hormones in milk to creative cooking recipes. The Grossi’s un-wavering commitment to the success of the local dairy industry has earned the family respect within the agricultural community and their peers. Dominic and his father, George Grossi, are strong advocates for local farmers, each having served as president of the Marin County Farm Bureau and the North Bay Dairy Herd Improvement Association. Father and son have also showed registered cattle at the Sonoma County Fair. The Sonoma County Fair is pleased to present George Grossi & Son Dairy with the 2014 Outstanding Dairy of the Year award.

The Sonoma County Fair will present the award on Farmer’s Day, Sunday, July 27 in Chris Beck Arena. A love of horses, family and friends led Dick and Sybil Harby to each other and to a life of service to the Sonoma County horse community. When young Dick saw Sybil riding in a local parade, he whistled and promised he’d marry her someday. That dream and promise came true! Together they raised a family and shared more than 50 years in the horse industry, breeding and training horses and guiding young riders to success. The pair’s commitment to the horse industry started before they met. Raised in Sebastopol, Sybil got her first horse at age 12 and went on to become Miss Grand National in 1956. Dick was originally from the East Coast and spent his youth foxhunting. Both were founding members of the Sonoma County Centaurs and lifetime members of the Sebastopol Wranglers. In the early years, Sybil was the catalyst for the creation of the couple’s training program. DH Stables in Sebastopol, also known as Dick and Sybil Hardy Stables, specialized in performance quarter horses and produced champion and award-winning horses and students. While their love for horses took Dick and Sybil across the country, their true life-legacy came from guiding and developing Sonoma County’s young equestrians. On a personal level, Sybil enjoyed working with the Vintage Cutting Club and was a school teacher by trade. Dick worked for PG&E before training horses full-time. An accomplished all-around rider and competitor, he served on the board of directors and as a judge for AQHA and APHA. A beloved wife, mother, and teacher, and horse lover, Sybil Harby passed away in 2013. Dick still resides on the ranch in Sebastopol, while the couple’s daughter, Melissa Zanetti trains and shows horses in Sonoma County with her husband Ron. Their daughter, Jill Stahler, lives in Oregon with her two daughters and husband Mark. The Sonoma County Fair is proud to present this year’s Award of Excellence in the Horse Industry to Sybil and Dick Harby.

Remember these important tips: • • • • • Keep food and beverages out of animal areas. Toys, pacifiers, spill-proof cups and baby bottles can drop and become contaminated, so it’s best to keep them put away in a sealed bag. Wipe off the wheels of any strollers or wagons brought into animal areas. The wheels have touched the ground and must be cleaned before being handled or loaded back into your vehicle. Don’t allow children to sit or play on the ground in animal areas. If you see a child’s hands are dirty, supervise/assist with proper hand washing. If you have an animal of any kind at the fair: • • • • • • Make sure animal feed/water are not accessible to the public. Promptly remove manure/soiled animal bedding from area. Store tools for waste removal in areas restricted from the public. Disinfect animal-area hard surfaces whenever possible. Do not use animal areas for public (non-animal) activities. Areas should be disinfected after animals are removed. PLAY IT SAFE – LIVESTOCK EXHIBITOR PRIZE DRAWING!
