Code of Conduct
In order to provide a safe and pleasant family
oriented environment, the Otero County Fair
Board asks for your cooperation in complying
with the Fairgrounds Code of Conduct.
All individuals attending any activity
including but not limited to the rodeo,
Frontier Village, livestock area, exhibit
building, and parking areas as a participant,
spectator, exhibitor, parent or family
member, superintendent, judge, fair official,
and the general public must conduct
themselves in a manner that demonstrates
the utmost respect for others. Parents have a
special responsibility to set positive
examples and serve as a positive role model
for youth by what they do and say.
Any individual who directs any violent,
abusive, indecent, profane boisterous,
unreasonably loud or otherwise disorderly
conduct, disrespectful, vulgar, threatening, or
abusive language, belligerent or hostile
behavior or obscene gestures towards any
other individual is subject to New Mexico
Statute 30-20-1 (Disorderly Conduct) and
may face the consequence of removal from
the facility.
The Otero County Fair Board may act on
conduct violations at any time with the
assistance of law enforcement personnel
when the situation warrants.
Thank you for your cooperation in making
the Otero County Fairgrounds a safe and
enjoyable environment for all.

Chairman’s Message
Our county fair in Otero County has established
itself as one of the biggest and best county fairs
in the State. The first Otero County Fair was
held in 1935 on South Florida Avenue, west of
what is now the high school football stadium.
The fair was an occasion for the local
agricultural producers to show off their produce,
flowers, and animals. There were also some
concession sales and raffles sponsored by local
civic and church groups.
The whole fair was housed on that two-block
area and occurred in late September after the
crops were harvested and the producers had a
little time to come to the fair. The County
School Superintendent would allow the school
children time away from school if they went to
the fair.
There were no fairs for 4 years during the
Second World War for obvious reasons. So,
even though the first fair happened more than
seventy-five years ago, with the lapse during the
war, we are celebrating the Seventy-fifth actual
fair in Otero County this year.
Since its beginning, our fair has grown and
expanded measurable. From the 1935 all-day
event, it now takes most of four full days to
accomplish the showing judging and sale of
exhibitors’ projects, not to mention the carnival,
concessions, rodeo, concerts, and other events.
The county fair is the largest single event in the
county and accommodates more participants by
far than anything occurring during the rest of the
year.
The fair board and the fair manager have
planned a real show for the 75th County Fair and
we think you will be pleased with the efforts.
Come out to the fair every day and enjoy the
events.

General Rules
1.
The Otero County Fair Association reserves the final
and absolute right to interpret these rules and
regulations, and to settle and determine all matters or
questions, and differences in regard thereto, or
otherwise out of, or in connection with, the Fair.
2.
In a case where no rule appears to cover a situation, the
Chairman of the Fair Board will ask the respective
committee to define its application for such a situation.
3.
Anyone who violates any rule will forfeit all privileges
and premiums.
4.
Unless other specified under department rules, all
exhibits must remain in place until 8:00 a.m. on Sunday
following the Fair. Any exhibitor violating this rule will
forfeit all privileges and premiums, and will be subject
to such penalty as the Fair Board may order.
5.
The Otero County Fair Association will provide security
personnel, and will take every precaution for the safety
of visitors and exhibits, but assumes no liability for
person injury or for loss or damage to any property of
any exhibitor, concessionaire, or patron due to theft,
fire, tornado, weather conditions or other causes.
6.
The distribution, tacking or posting of brochures,
pamphlets, leaflets, flyers, newspapers, magazines,
bumper stickers, business cards or other literature,
propaganda or promotional materials of any kind or
character is strictly prohibited, but such literature or
materials may be made available on counter space or
otherwise within the properly leased space of the
fairgrounds facilities which allow for their distribution.
No verbal or physical solicitation or offering of
literature or propaganda will be allowed upon the
fairgrounds property, including “mascots”, without
expressed prior written consent from the fair manager,
and under no circumstances will any individual, group
of individuals, firm, business or organization be allowed

to roam freely on the fairgrounds, but if such mascot is
in the exhibit building, it must remain within the
designated booth space.
7.

Fair and Rodeo Queen
Contest
Entry Deadline — Monday, June 16
Contact Joan Howland at 437-9884
Conduct
The Otero County Fair and Rodeo Queen and contestants
serve as ambassadors of Otero County to the general
public, portraying excellence in sportsmanship, high
moral and ethical character, and reflect careful and
humane treatment of animals. She is expected to act,
speak and dress according to the prestige the title deserves
at all times.
Eligibility
Each Queen contestant must:
x be at least 17 and not more than 23 years of age by
August 31 of the year of competition;
x have been a resident of Otero County for 12
consecutive months prior to the entry date; and,
x have never been married or pregnant, and, if selected
Queen, must surrender the title if she marries or
becomes pregnant or for any reason not be able to fulfill
her obligations, in which case the title passes to the 1 st
Runner-Up in that year’s contest.
Entry
Entry dates will be announced through the various media,
and entry deadlines will not be extended. Each entry
must be accompanied by:
x an essay stating your intent and reason you would like
to be our Queen;
x fifty dollars ($50.00);
x two (2) studio-style 5x7 color pictures (head and
shoulder pose); and
x a completed application form.
A minimum of two (2) contestants are required by the
deadline in order for a Queen Contest this year.
Division of Judging
The number of judges may vary from year to year, but
will be no less than three (3). Categories of judging
include, but are not limited to, personality and
horsemanship.
Judging will also occur in public
speaking, appearance and modeling. Each contestant will
take a written test. A contestant must receive seventy-five
percent (75%) of the total score in each judged division to
become Queen.
Finality of Judges’ Scoring
As a condition of entry into the Queen competition, the
contestant agrees the judges’ scoring is final, and not
subject to appeal to any person or body, administrative or
judicial.
Horsemanship
Fifty percent (50%) of the total score. The understanding
and skill of the contestant will be judged, not the horse.
However, it is recommended that each contestant have her
horse and tack clean and ready for competition. Please
make sure all equipment is in safe and good working
order. A pattern will be selected that each contestant will
- 27 -
ride. Each contestant will be required to mount and
dismount, and will have two (2) minutes of free-time to
ride any pattern of her choice. No Roman riding or music
will be allowed. However, she must turn her pattern in to
the Chairwoman before the competition. Standard AQHA
rules will apply. Hat, boots, jeans and a white shirt must
be worn.
Personality
Fifty percent (50%) of the total score. Each contestant
will be required to present and deliver a three (3) minute
speech (topic to be announced at orientation), will be
asked to draw questions to respond to, and answer
questions from the judges. Creativity and presence are
looked for during the delivery of the speech. Each
contestant will model an outfit of her choice reflecting the
western fashion. She should have an awareness of
fashionable western dress and style with particular
attention given to proper fit, style, color and coordination
that enhances her total appearance. Ability to project her
personality to people she may have met in a short-time, as
well as being able to present herself positively in other
activities. Interviews will be conducted by the judges in
various situations. The contestants should realize that
they can be judged at any time during the contest, whether
formally or informally.
Congeniality
Each contestant will vote for the congeniality award to be
given to the contestant that demonstrates a genuine caring
and friendliness toward other contestants throughout the
activities.
Attendance
Attendance will be kept on each contestant’s participation
in the scheduled clinics and activities. The record will be
given to the judges whose discretion will decide how
much weight the contestant’s participation will count for
her total score.
Queen Requirements
x To compete in the New Mexico State Fair Queen
Pageant. Failure to do so will result in forfeiting the
title, gifts, banners, scholarship and all awards;
x to crown next year’s Queen at our Fair;
x to perform any other duties asked by the Fair Board and
Rodeo Queen Committee; to represent Otero County in
parades and functions wearing the crown and banner,
and be appropriately dressed.
All appearances must be approved by the Committee,
and the crown and banner cannot be worn to any
function without said approval; and,
x must participate on horseback in her crowning and all
Grand Entries, as well as the crowning and Grand Entry
of next year’s Queen.
First Runner-Up Requirements
A First Runner-Up will be named but will not participate
in the year’s activities. In the event the Queen does not
fulfill her requirements as previously stated, the 1st
Runner-up will assume the title, as long as she qualifies as
stated above. The only way 1st Runner-Up could receive
the awards given the Queen would be if the Queen did not
compete in the New Mexico State Fair Queen Pageant
that year.
- 28 -
Awards
Awards will be presented to category winners, the Queen
will be crowned, and the First Runner-Up will be named.
The Queen will remain to sign agreements and all other
contestants will be dismissed.
Any cash or scholarship prizes will not be awarded until
after the fulfillment of the State Fair Queen contest
requirement. The Queen will get the crown and buckle to
wear during the year at her appearances, but will
surrender them if she does not compete in the State Fair
Queen contest.

51st Annual
Junior Livestock Sale
7:00 pm Saturday—August 16
in the Livestock Barn Show Ring
Jack Blandford, Auctioneer
Here’s how the auction works:
x
All bidders must register at the FREE Bidders’
Supper on the Wade Patio beginning at 5:00 pm
Saturday, or in the Livestock Barn prior to the
sale. Please register even if you are not sure
you will bid. Each bidder will receive a Buyer
number, which will help with record keeping
during the sale.
x
Bid on animals during the auction. All animals
are sold by the head, except steers which are
sold by the pound.
x
When you are the successful bidder, you have
four choices:
1. Have the animal processed for your freezer,
in which case you will be contacted by the
processor for instructions.
2. Sell the animal to the packer. You will then
be billed only for the difference between
your auction bid and the packer price.
Example of an animal weighing 1,100 lbs.:
Your auction bid
$ 1,760
less Packer Price of .50 per pound *
- 550
Net Price to you
$ 1,210
* Actual Packer Bids will be established the
night of the sale.
3. Donate the animal to the Booster Pot, in
which case you pay your full auction bid and
the Booster Pot receives the packer price.
4. Take the animal home.
Why be a Junior Livestock Buyer?
The 4-H and FFA exhibitors whose livestock will be sold
at the Otero County Fair have made a substantial
investment, in time and money, in their projects. In so
doing, these young people learn valuable lessons in
responsibility, economics, fairness and competition. Most
will apply the proceeds from their project toward their
college education.
- 37 -
Here’s how you can buy:
As an Individual - you, as an individual or for your
business, have the fun of bidding up the sale, making
it fast and exciting.
In a Group - two or more individuals or businesses
join together and bid. If you would like to be in a
group and don’t know where to start, please contact
any Fair Board member.
When you buy an animal:
You will be asked to sign a form which states what you
want done with the animal. Your photograph will be
taken with the exhibitor and the animal. In a few days
you will receive an invoice for the amount due for your
purchase, or you may obtain your invoice and pay
immediately following the sale.
The exhibitor whose animal you purchased will deliver
your picture and invite you to attend the Buyers’ Dinner,
which is held a few weeks following the Fair. The
exhibitor will give you a postcard that must be returned to
the Fair Office before the exhibitor can receive his or her
check.
You don’t need a truck!
Fair officials handle all details of packer consignments
and delivery.
Purchases will be delivered to the
processor, packer or to another designated location.
Add-On Contributions
On any sale animal, you can “add-on” any amount of
money.
Booster Pot
Many people, whether or not they purchase an animal,
donate to the Booster Pot. This fund is distributed to the
exhibitors whose animals did not make the sale, to help
offset some of their expenses.
For more information,
please contact any Fair Board member

Parade Marshal
The 2014 Parade Marshal, Bill Hernandez,
is a man who was dedicated to the Otero County
4-H and FFA programs for many years. His
commitment provided the organizations with a
sound foundation for its livestock auctions. His
passion for livestock education was instilled in
him at a young age and led him to volunteer his
time to the youth of the 4-H and FFA Programs
of Otero County.
Bill was born on a ranch in Lincoln County,
and when he was young, worked on other
ranches. From this environment and his parents,
he learned the discipline of good work ethics,
hard work, and honesty.
He graduated from the Missouri Auction
School in Kansas City in 1958 and from their
Advanced Livestock Marketing Class in 1964.
After working with other auctioneers, he
started his own auction business in 1962 and
rented the display building from the Otero
County Fair Board.
He had consignment
auctions there until 1973, after which he set up
his office at home and conducted sales for the
city, schools, business dispersals, estates, etc.
Bill had respect for the 4-H and FFA
Programs in Otero County and believed in what
they taught their young members. When the
opportunity arouse that the Fair Board needed
an auctioneer to sell the entries for the Otero
County Fair Livestock Sale, he was happy to
volunteer his time to help the young exhibitors.
He volunteered his auction services for many
years. It was the highlight of each year for him.
