I walk through the exhibits and all the animal barns, play Lion’s Bingo then watch the fiber artists make yarns. I get a Pink Lady apple and some Boy Scout ice cream then walk through the vendor booths where the entrepreneurs scheme. Next I stand in line for an all-day carnival ride pass. I stand right out as I’m of the senior citizen class. I start with the Tilt-A-Whirl, it’s my favorite ride. A boy takes the middle his dad and I take the outside. I ride the Paratrooper and Yo-Yo as a single, to find a Zipper partner I merely have to mingle. CALL FOR 2016 SUBMISSIONS!

There’s always a high school pair where one will ‘chicken out.’ I’ll ride with the brave one, together we’ll holler and shout. DEADLINE FOR ENTRY IS FRIDAY, AUG. 12, 2016. I’ll pop balloons with darts and try to shoot out the red star and convince the carnie I still fit in the Dragon’s car. NEW THIS YEAR—Coloring for Adults! My wife always finds me a couple hours after dark, after the carnival, on this old man, has left a mark. My last ride of the night is always the Ferris Wheel. My wife and I ride together it’s our little deal. Because after all these years, inside I’m still just a kid so I take my wife up just like I always did. She giggles at the top when I scooch over for a kiss. Just us, alone, in the night sky— now that’s carnival bliss! I can think of no better way to spend my western nights than at The Ravalli County Fair… under carnival lights! ☼ ▪ ▪ ▪ ☼ ▪ ▪ ▪ ☼ ▪ ▪ ▪ ☼▪ ▪ ▪ ☼ In Partnership with the Bitterroot Public Library Coloring for grown-ups is a popular and growing trend, and the Ravalli County Fair and the Bitterroot Public Library invite participants to submit their creatively colored pages.

Entries are open to members of the American Dahlia Society, North American Gladiolus Council, members of any dahlia or glad society, and to all persons eligible to enter the Ravalli County Fair. General Rules 1. Each Exhibitor must register at the show to obtain an Exhibitor’s number. Signing the register indicates agreement to abide by the following rules: 2. All dahlia and glad entries must be in place and be ready for judging by 9:30 a.m. on Friday September 2, 2016. 3. Exhibitors may enter through West Gate beginning at 6 a.m. to place entries.

Containers will be supplied for all exhibits except for arrangements, bouquets, and bowls. The Show Committee reserves the right to reject any entry. The Show Committee may also make additions or changes in the rules which are deemed necessary for the proper conduct of the show. Any rules so made shall be as binding as though they were a published part of these rules (they may not alter the Judge’s decisions).

Judges decisions are final. 5 Valleys Dahlia & Glad Society and the Ravalli County Fair are not responsible for any loss or damage during the show. Dahlia Show Rules Skill Divisions: 1) Student: (White Tags) This is the division for any Exhibitor 19 years or younger. These student entries will be judged according to the Danish System. If a student wishes, and their skill level merits, they may exhibit in novice, advanced or open. 2) Novice: (Blue Tags) This is the starting point for a beginning adult Exhibitor. Dahlia Society members may show at this level for a maximum of three (3) years. The Exhibitor may elect to advance after one or two years if skill merits. 3. Advanced: (Pink Tags) This division is for the Exhibitor with skills beyond the beginning Exhibitor. The Exhibitor understands flower staging, grows named varieties, and can correctly and completely fill out the entry tag. Those entering in this division may remain until they win rosettes, then they are expected to advance to the open division. 4. Open: (Yellow Tags) This division is for experienced Exhibitors who have been consistent winners of higher awards. There is also a service component to this level in that the open Exhibitors are expected to use their skills to help beginner and advanced Exhibitors 27 become competent with the showing process. An open Exhibitor may drop in level if unable to show flowers for two or more years due to work, school, family responsibilities, etc. In this instance, please contact the show committee for correct division assignment. The Exhibitor alone will be held responsible for correctly and completely filling out the entry tag. Fill out both the TOP and BOTTOM sections of the provided entry tags. Omissions or mis-identifications could cause an exhibit not to be judged. 1. All dahlia exhibits must be grown and staged by the Exhibitor. Exception: entries in the “Artistic Design” Division may be grown by someone other than the Exhibitor. 2. Blooms must be shown disbudded with at least one set of true leaves. Exhibits with more than one set of true leaves will not be rewarded or penalized by the judges. Exhibits must be shown with the pair of true leaves above the foam or stabilizing material in the container. Entries with leaves buried in the foam will be set back and disqualified. Exception: blooms used in baskets, bouquets, bowls, and arrangements may be displayed with or without leaves. 3. The current edition of the “American Dahlia Society Classification and Handbook of Dahlias” shall be used for the description of the dahlia exhibits. Dahlias not listed in the current edition will be classified by the most recent ADS Composite Listing of Dahlias. 4. In horticulture exhibits artificial support for the dahlia bloom above the container is prohibited and will be penalized. The dahlia bloom, stem, and leaves may not be supported, assisted, or altered by tape, pins, super glue or any other type of artificial material. The use of any artificial materials will result in automatic disqualification for that exhibit. 5. Disseminated dahlias when entered as classified into competition in ADS shows are not to be disqualified if oversized or undersized, nor will the dahlia receive premium/penalty points for being oversized or undersized. The dahlia bloom is to be judged on its own merits. 6. In horticulture exhibits an Exhibitor may not “double enter” the same cultivar by entering them in two different skill divisions. The Exhibitor is encouraged to exhibit the same cultivar in different ways i.e., single, triple, bouquet, bowl, design, basket, collection, etc. 7. Exhibitors growing flowers in the same garden(s) must show in the same skill division. This division will be at the highest skill level achieved by any one member of this group. 8. Exhibitors are encouraged to exhibit at the correct skill division (student, novice, advanced, open). Exhibitors may not skip or drop to lower divisions for competitive advantage. Exhibitors are encouraged to move up into a more advanced division as they become more experienced.
