FAIRBOOK DEDICATION
Karen Arnold
Karen Arnold has been a steadfast supporter of the fair by exhibiting and by being a member of the Fair
Board since 1999. As County Treasurer she is responsible for signing all the checks that are generated
at the fair. Karen also schedules some of her vacation time so she can be present at the fair.
As a long time 4-H leader, Karen always made the meetings fun. There were conversations and laughter as well as learning and gentle encouragement to finish projects on time. Her dynamic personality
and organizational skills worked well with many young seamstresses. Many of her former 4-Hers continue to seek her sage advice and consider her a friend.
For many years Karen has also served as superintendent for the Hobbies and Crafts entries as well as
the assistant superintendent for the indoor 4-H exhibits. She finds time in her busy schedule to bring
her own hand crafts and flowers to exhibit at the fair.
Her dedication, loyalty, and multi-faceted abilities make her the perfect person for this honor.
Congratulations Karen!!
Rio Blanco County Commissioners dedicate Indoor Arena to C.W. “Bill” Brennan
C.W. “Bill” Brennan, Commissioner of Rio Blanco County from 1971-1979, was a driving force behind development of the Rio Blanco
County Fairgrounds in Meeker. Bill was humble, intelligent, fair and a man of impeccable integrity whose actions reflected the best
interests of the county at large. During this time, Bill, along with fellow Commissioners Frisby and Kenney, could see the value and
impact an indoor arena and multipurpose building would have on Rio Blanco County, and were instrumental in building this new facility to serve many generations of future Rio Blanco County citizens. This building, serving as a true community asset, is widely utilized
and offers many opportunities and economic benefits to the citizens of Rio Blanco County. Utilizing Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT)
funding, Rio Blanco County Commissioners moved forward with construction, resulting in the indoor arena and multipurpose building
being first utilized at the County Fair of 1978.
Bill was born in Rifle, Colorado to Mike and Helen Brennan and was the sixth of eight children. He attended Rifle High School and was
drafted into the U.S. Navy in December, 1943, during his senior year of high school. Following advanced training, he was then ordered
to the South Pacific where he served aboard an LCT (Landing Craft, Tank) for the remainder of World War II. After his Honorable Discharge he returned home and wed Nancy Love on September 14, 1947. The couple moved to Piceance Creek to operate the LOV
Ranch, which was owned by Nancy's parents, Milo (Waddy) and Helen Love. Bill and Nancy eventually purchased the ranch and Bill was
involved in the operation until shortly before his passing.
Never one to suffer an idle moment, Bill served in many areas of public service in addition to the full time challenges of operating a large, successful, commercial Hereford
ranch. Bill started his public service on the School Board while his children were attending the Rock School on Piceance Creek. He was then elected County Commissioner of
Rio Blanco County, serving two terms. During this time he was appointed to the Colorado State Highway Commission, serving during the planning and construction phases of
Glenwood Canyon and the Eisenhower/Johnson Tunnel. Named Colorado Counties, Inc. “County Commissioner of the Year” in 1977 further validates the impact Bill had on
the political scene, working on the Legislative and Land Use Committees, and accepting an appointment to Governor Lamm’s Impact Advisory Committee. On the Federal
level, Bill served on the Environment and Energy Steering Committee for the National Association of Counties (NACo), and on multiple occasions, Bill traveled to Washington
D.C. where he testified before congress, bringing rural issues before federal legislators. Bill held many positions in banking and farm service organizations, Club 20, and held
offices and memberships in Rio Blanco Stockgrowers, Colorado Cattleman's Association and numerous boards and committees relating to the livestock industry.

Silent Auction
ATTENTION! Kids, moms, dads, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, grandmas, grandpas, and friends!
Bring ANYTHING you made to the 2015 Fair and take home a little hard earned cash!
Any exhibit you enter at the Rio Blanco County Fair is eligible to be placed in the Silent Auction—with
all proceeds going to YOU—the exhibitor! Keep a list of all the things you make over the year(s) and
when July 30th rolls around collect all your items and show them off at Fair!
Silent Auctions are a fantastic method to bring fun and profit to your special events!
Why not bring it to the Fair?!
RIO BLANCO COUNTY FAIR SILENT AUCTION
Anyone entering an exhibit in the Open division at the Fair can place their exhibit in the Silent Auction
program. The exhibitor will fill out a bidding card which will be placed next to the item for sale. The
Bidding will be open from 6:00p.m., Thursday, July 30th, and will close Saturday, August 1st, at 5:00p.m.

This is not a fundraising auction—it is meant to support the Rio Blanco County artisans and
community members—although the Rio Blanco County Fair does accept donations!

An exhibitor may not enter more entries than each class allows.

Exhibitors can determine a “minimum” bid. Even if no bids are made, it would show the
value of the product to visitors.

Exhibitors do not have to participate in the Silent Auction—only those who wish to!

Any perishable items sold must be “re-created” and ready at 6:00p.m., Saturday, August 1st.
Perishable items must be prepared in accordance with USDA Food Safety Standards.

Highest bidder at 5:00p.m., Saturday wins and the exhibitor keeps the profits!
Why this is a good idea:

A new spin on a timeless tradition!

Creates a culminating event (Bake Sale/Close of Silent Auction) to the Indoor side of Fair!

Reiterates Commissioner's community support ideas by buying locally!

If successful, should increase Indoor Fair entries next year!

Increase visitor attendance– visitors would be returning to check their bids!

Exhibitors can make a little money!

Participation is voluntary!

Community Pride!

exhibiting in.
5. Unit 8 is now an advanced creative stamping. It is recom
mended that 1st year-juniors take Unit 1 intro to stamp
ing before taking Unit 8.
6. Definitions:
 Carving – is where you cut into the leather (usually
swivel knife) as part of the design you are tooling.
 Stamping/Tooling – is where you use impressions
made from tools to form a design.
 Cord---is round and waxed thread.
 Lace---is flat with a shiny side and rough side.
 Background Dyeing—dyeing a solid color to the area
tooled with the backgrounder.
 Solid color dying—is where you dye the whole project
the same color. For example, you tool a belt and then
dye it all black, or you make a book cover and dye it all
one color.
 Color shading—is where you use shades of color to
make the design look more realistic. For example, you
can use darker and lighter shades of a color on a flower
you have tooled to make it look realistic, or an animal or
figure of any kind.
 Staining/Antiquing—using an antique finish like saddle
tan—apply & remove/rub on & wipe off.
 Clear finish—is a finish that has no color in it. For
example, oil (no color added), leather finish spray or
wipe on that has no color mixed in it.

ALL EXHIBITORS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE REQUIRED TO BE FAMILIAR WITH ALL RIO BLANCO COUNTY FAIR RULES.
The officials of the Rio Blanco County Fair will abide by the general rules and division rules in all decisions affecting the Beef Cattle, Dairy
Cattle, Goats, Sheep, Swine, and Divisions for Junior, Open, and Market Livestock Shows.
Livestock exhibitors may not receive cash prizes for more than two entries in a class.
Superintendents have the authority to disqualify any exhibitor not meeting the requirements set by the Fair Board.
All age requirements are as of December 31 of previous year. Junior age is 8-10, Intermediate is 11-13, and Senior is 14-18 for 4-H.
Rio Blanco County, the Fair Board, staff, and volunteers will, in no case, be held responsible for any loss or damage that may occur to any
livestock or article exhibited. The Fair Board assumes no responsibility for injuries or accidents to spectators or exhibitors.
Any complaints by exhibitors must be in writing and accompanied by $10 in cash or certified check. Protests are to be delivered to the
department superintendent within one hour after questionable point. No complaint or appeal that a judge overlooked an animal or item will
be considered. Judging procedures will not be interrupted for protest investigation; and depending on the basis of the protest, a decision
may be withheld until a complete investigation is made. Protest fee will be refunded if protest is sustained. The department superintendent
will consult with the Fair Board President before announcing protest outcome. Decisions of Fair Board and Judges are final.
Please review the schedule in the front of the Fair Book to review dates and times for entry deadlines, weigh-ins, and show times.
4-H Agents and FFA Advisors must sign off on exhibitor entry forms stating they are a "member in good standing" and eligible to show at the
Rio Blanco County Fair.
Judges must not award prizes to unworthy exhibits. Where the classes are not filled, the Judges, at their discretion, may ward prize money as
they see fit.
The Rio Blanco Fair Board reserves the right to perform residue testing on any market animal.
The barn lights will be turned off at 10p.m. every night.
Any questions concerning the rules of the Rio Blanco County Fair should be directed to a Fair Board Member or an Extension Agent.
Dress code includes: long pants, closed toe and closed heel shoes, and a collared and sleeved shirt. Clothing must be considered reasonably
neat and clean in appearance, no chest or midriff showing. No tank tops, sleeveless blouses, or tee shirts will be accepted.
4-H members who turn in a Record Book that receives a White Ribbon or lower will be required to take a class and/or upgrade their Record
Book at home to red ribbon quality or better by January 1st to be eligible to enroll and participate in ANY livestock projects the following
year. The Extension Office will send notification to all exhibitors who receive a White Ribbon or lower for their record book.
Exhibitors in Open Departments must own their own livestock. Open livestock classes encourage junior entries. Livestock shown in Market
divisions are not eligible to be shown in breeding classes.
Tag In, Weigh-In, and Form Rules

County of Origin Labeling (COOL) or COOL forms should be turned in when exhibitors tag-in their animals, but
may be turned in no later than Fair weigh-in. Exhibitors will not be allowed to participate in Showmanship or
Market classes without a COOL form for each species.

Rio Blanco County 4H/FFA youth may retag an animal into their name by June 30th, however; another Rio Blanco County 4-H/FFA youth
member must have previously tagged in that animal by the official tag in date. The Extension Office must be notified with the production of a
bill or sale no later than June 30th.

Every youth may tag up to three animals per species and still sell two species. Also, the June 30th replacement rule is still in effect.

Family option rule is still in effect. Families may tag in (one animal per species) for each child, and then tag an extra animal which becomes
the family animal. This animal can be substituted for any animal tagged in by a brother or sister prior to weigh-in at the Fair. The youth is
responsible for reporting this change prior to the weigh-in. If a legitimate tagged animal does not make weight during the Fair weigh-in, then
the family animal may weigh-in. If that animal makes weight, then it can replace the legitimate animal. At this time, the legitimate animal
can only be used for showmanship—not the feeder, market, or breeding classes. Parents/Guardian’s must sign a paper which illustrates the
various aspects of the Family Animal Rule during the spring weigh-in and their acceptance of the rules.
Please refer to the schedule at the front of Fair Book for all deadlines for entries of classes. Late entries will be charged a $10 late fee.
Entries not in position when final call is given, will not be eligible to show.
Pre-registration is required for all livestock projects.
Market animals must be tagged and identified at feeder shows or as directed by CSU Extension.
Youth may bring 2 animal entries per species to the Fair.
Scales are not available to weigh animals from Monday of Fair week until time of official weigh-in.
Animals will be weighed one time only.
4-H/FFA animals may not leave the grounds once they have been weighed in.

age requirements of 4-H enrollment, have attended 50% of all club meetings, are in good standing with county or state rules
and regulations, have maintained adequate management of their livestock project, and have shown the animal in the market
class at the Fair.

Members may not place a “for sale” sign on any pen/stall at anytime during Fair.

Beef, sheep, swine, goats, and pens of rabbits and poultry will be sold at the Livestock Sale. Sale entries are limited to 4-H/FFA
projects. Youth may sell two animals but not more than one of any species in sale. Poultry is limited to chickens, turkeys, and
ducks. All beef, swine, sheep, goats, poultry, and rabbits will be sold by the head, not by the pound.

The order of sale by species varies each year. In 2015, the order will be beef, goat, poultry, sheep, rabbit, & swine. Individual
order will be determined by placing (high weight to low weight in 2015). All Grand Champion market will sell first, followed by
the Reserve Champion market.

Once the exhibitor knows which animal(s) they will be selling, the exhibitor is asked to let the Fair Office know by 7p.m. on
Friday, July 31st. If beef show lasts until after 7p.m., beef members have until 9a.m. Saturday, August 1st to report which
animal they are selling.

White Ribbon Animals - Judges will be directed to award White Ribbons to animals they deem unfit for the
Livestock sale. White Ribbon animals, regardless of the weight of the animal, will not be able to be sold at the
Livestock sale.

Species will alternate in the sale order. Example: 7 swine, 2 poultry, 5 sheep, 3 goats, 4 beef, 2 rabbit. Actual ratio will


Any animal inspected at the packing plant and found to be carrying chemical residues will be condemned by the federal meat
inspectors. Animals condemned at the processing plants due to residues will have sale monies returned to the purchaser and

Ways to Buy/Participate in the Jr. Livestock Sale
Individuals—Attend the sale in person. The excitement of the event and the drama of the auctioneer's cry create an unforgettable scene! Auction
committeemen and ring men will be on hand to assist.
Split buying - If a whole animal is too much, you can split with a friend or relative in halves or quarters. Two or more individuals, families,
businesses or organizations may wish to split the cost of an animal.
Buy Back – Buyers not wanting to keep their purchased animal pay only the difference between the final bid price and the buy back price listed, for
that animal, in the Sale Order brochure.
For Donation - Donate the meat from your purchase to one or more non-profit organizations. Youth benefit from your support, while you get
promotion as well as the satisfaction of knowing that your favorite organization gets the meat. You may also donate the processing fees or arrange
with the recipient to pay for the processing fees.
Add-Ons – Add-ons are a good way to support a specific youth or group of youth if you are unable to purchase an animal. Add-ons are a flat fee,
large or small. Add-on money is added on top of the sale price. You do need to be a registered buyer. Add-ons can be done at the time of the sale or
at the completion of the sale.
Proxy—If you, your firm, or organization cannot attend the sale but wish to participate, you can do so by proxy. Just contact any of the Rio Blanco
County Livestock Sale Committee to express your interest in purchasing at the sale.
**The buy back amount reflected on the sale bill is based on the current market value of each species at the time of the sale.
**Please contact your tax consultant on business advertising deductions allowed by purchasing 4-H/FFA livestock at the Junior Livestock Sale.
