RJF Friends of the Fair
The Ramona Junior Fair is 100 % organized and operated by volunteers. The fair works to recognize leaders from the community and participating 4-H, FFA,
and Grange clubs for their dedication and participation to the fair. Each year the Ramona Junior Fair Board of Directors selects an outstanding contributor to
the fair. We would like to recognize the past five recipients of this award and once again thank them for their service over the years. A list of all recipients can
be found outside the Livestock Office during the fair.

4. No talking to family members, leaders, or members of the public during any showmanship class.
5. UNIFORM: Traditional whites are required for Showmanship and Round Robin.
6. Showmanship is judged on the exhibitor’s ability to properly show his or her own animal. Therefore, you may
enter only one time with each species you bring to the Fair. Example: If exhibitor enters two sheep, only one will
be shown in a showmanship class. If exhibitor enters one swine and one lamb, he/she may enter each animal in
showmanship.
7. CLASSES: An exhibitor age 9 and 10 as of January 1 of the current year, will be classified as a Junior Showman.
An exhibitor age 11 to 13 as of January 1 of the current year, will be classified as an Intermediate Showman. An

emergency will exempt an exhibitor from their responsibility to participate in Round Robin. All requests for nonparticipation must be made to the Ramona Junior Fair Board.
12. In the event that an exhibitor wins more than one (1) first place in a species, he or she will show in the first class
they competed in and the second place showman may represent that species in Round Robin. Exception may be
in Small Animal Divisions. The Ramona Junior Fair Board will notify the eligible showman for each species.
13. An exhibitor who wins first place in a Small Animal Class and first place in a Large Animal Class may compete in
both Small and Large Animal Round Robin.
14. The spirit of Round Robin is to encourage diversity in showmanship skills and to allow as many participants as

15. Four classes are judged in Round Robin- Junior, Intermediate, Senior, and Novice Senior in the following two
categories.
