Madison Schlegel
Miss Grundy County Fair Queen 2015
Hello, I am Madison Schlegel. As your 2015 Miss Grundy County Fair Queen, I would
like to welcome you to the 112th Grundy County Fair. I have been attending the fair since
I was seven years old and every year I am just as excited for this fun filled weekend.
With such an action packed weekend there is not one dull moment. From the races,
livestock, fireworks, vendors, carnival, and entertainment all the way to the delicious
food, the Grundy County Fair is home to traditions and fun for everyone. This is a
weekend to spend time with family and friends and make memories that will last a
lifetime.
In my year as queen, I’ve made appearances at the Corn Festival Parade, lunch with the
governor, Illinois State Fair 4-H events, the parade of lights, and the Northern Zone
meeting, and competing in the 2016 Miss Illinois County Fair Queen pageant in
Springfield. I want to thank the Grundy County Fair Board, I cannot express the amount
of gratitude that I have for them and being lucky enough to have their support. With that,
I would like to welcome you to the 2016 Grundy County Fair and I hope this weekend is
filled with endless joy.
Sincerely,
Madison Schlegel
2015 Miss Grundy County Fair Queen

Each year, the Grundy County Agricultural District Fair selects the exhibitor that, in their
opinion, best exemplifies the qualities that help to improve our fairs, our livestock and our lives in
general. These qualities are best demonstrated starting with the accuracy and neatness of entry
forms; by the courtesy and help given to the “girls in the office”; by their cooperation,
sportsmanship, attitude and conduct in the show arenas; by the condition of and care given to
their animals; and by the cleanliness and neatness of their pen or stall areas. They share their
knowledge, not only with Fair Visitors and Spectators, but also with other Exhibitors.
These noted exhibitors have set a standard of competition and style that should serve as an
example for all.
Many Thanks to All of Our Exhibitors
You Are The Greatest!!!
The Grundy County Fair Officers, Superintendents, and the “Girls in the Office”

Special Instructions For All
STEER, MARKET & WEIGHT CLASS ANIMAL EXHIBITORS
Enter your animals only as shown within Department Premium Listing. All Class Weight Splits will be made only after all
animals within that department have been weighed or the posted weigh-in time has past and scales are closed. Animals will be
weighed only once. It is highly recommended that exhibitor be present during weigh-in. If exhibitor cannot be present he must
appoint and empower an agent to act on his behalf and inform his Department Superintendent of such. In the case of animals
being in both Open and Junior Shows the same weight class carries both shows. For example, an animal that is split into a
weight class such as BARROW, HEAVY IN THE OPEN SHOW WILL ALSO BE BARROW, HEAVY IN THE JUNIOR
SHOW. This rule applies to STEERS, LAMBS, HOGS OR GOATS. Class weight split determination is by computer.
In pair classes each exhibitor will make his own personal choice of animal pairings and give that choice to the Department
Superintendent. The pair weight will be the total combined weight of the individuals as chosen by the exhibitor. Once paired
there will be no changes in pairings. Pairings will remain the same in both Open and Junior Shows. Any animal brought to the
show ring without a legible Weigh-In ID Number or with a Weigh-In ID Number that has been modified will not be allowed a
premium.
The Department Superintendent shall oversee and supervise the weigh-in. His decision at the scale is final. Class Weight Splits
will be made in Secretary’s Office and shall be based on Open Show. Once all Weight Splits are completed, animal weight
class assignments will be posted prior to show.

Market Lambs may be Wether Lambs or Ewe Lambs. No Rams shall be allowed in Market Class.
Animals shown in breeding classes may not be shown in market classes and animals shown in market class are not eligible to be shown in
breeding classes, this includes flock, pen of lambs, get of sire & breeding pairs.
All market lambs shall have been born on or after Sept. 1, 2015 Missing lamb teeth or evidence of yearling teeth shall disqualify entry.
Market lambs must be marketable and will be judged accordingly.
Minimum weight 75 lb.
The superintendent shall oversee and supervise the weigh-in. His decision at the scales is final and once an animal’s weight is determined and
that animal is placed in appropriate weight class, ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGES WILL BE ALLOWED. Exhibitor must confirm exact weigh-in time
with superintendent and the exhibitor alone is responsible to see that his animals are present at time specified. It is highly recommended that
exhibitor is present for weigh-in procedure.
Class weight splits will be made after weigh-in.
All animals will be weighed separately.
Pair class weight split shall be determined by total weight of two individual lambs of exhibitors choice after weigh-in. Exhibitor shall submit his
pairing choice in writing, identified by weigh-in number to department superintendent. Absolutely no changes will be made once exhibitor has made
his choice of pairings.
All market class animals will be identified by paint brand or ear-tag at time of weigh-in. Any animals without Weigh-In ID. will not be allowed to
compete in the market lamb show. Animals with Weigh-In ID will not be allowed to compete in breeding classes.
Exhibitors showing more than two market lambs should be selective in making their animal choices and shall make note of the following state
regulation: “Maximum of two premiums will be awarded to the same exhibitor under the same premium number.” Example: Exhibitor has three
entries that end up in the same weight split class; exhibitor would be paid only two monies in that class. The fair cannot predict the number of entries,
nor can the fair predetermine where weight splits will occur.
There will be no icing, toweling, or painting of market lambs allowed.
This show is not intended for exhibitors who feed and prepare market lambs using unnatural or artificial means.
Market lambs showing signs of stress due to unusual handling methods or symptoms of health distress from possible use of drugs or steroids will
not be allowed to show.
Market lambs whose physical structure has been altered in any way (i.e., removal of ribs, etc.) will not be allowed to show. This does not include
castration procedures.
The Grundy County Fair reserves the right to, at any time, order an inspection or blood test of lambs by a veterinarian of the Fair’s choice, and may,
at the Fair’s discretion, reject any and all animals.
Read and understand this premium listing before making entries. All entries once made are absolutely final.

ABSOLUTELY NO UNLOADING OF EQUINE UNTIL SUPERINTENDENT HAS CHECKED COGGINS
CLASS R IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR CLASS DIVISIONS, as follows: Class R1 –Ponies, Class R2 –Horses and
Class R3 - Therapeutic Riding Competition. The following rules apply to all three divisions along with rules found under
each individual class division, which apply only to that particular division.
1 - All rules and regulations as published in premium book shall apply and will be adhered to.
2 - All entry and documenting fees shall be paid in full when entries are made – NO REFUNDS!
3 - NO POST ENTRIES – NO CHANGES ONCE ENTRIES ARE MADE.
4 - Proof of age of participant must be presented upon request of show Superintendent or Judge.
5 - Open territory show unless otherwise stated.
6 - EVERY ANIMAL SUBJECT TO MEASUREMENT. Horses are not allowed in pony classes and ponies are barred
from horse classes. Registration Papers in hand prevail over actual measurement. In the case of grade, nonregistered animals the actual measurement will be the defining factor. For this show any animal UNDER FIFTYSIX (56) INCHES will be considered a PONY.
7 - The Secretary’s Office assigns an EXHIBITOR NUMBER for each exhibitor. This number must be
prominently displayed upon the back of the person showing the animal at all times the animal is in the
show ring. Be sure the correct number is displayed, as NO CHANGES will be made in the Judges books
once the class has left the show ring.
8 - The Grundy County Fair will not be held responsible for any loss, personal injury or damage to any person,
animal or for any article of any kind or nature that may be lost, destroyed or in any way damaged. The Fair Board
reserves the right to cancel any entry or entries, any class(es) or cancel any award(s) without claim for damages.
The decision of the Judge is final. Exhibitors are warned that any act of discourtesy or disobedience to any show
official on the part of owner, groom, rider or driver will disqualify the entry for any premiums. The Grundy County
Fair reserves unto itself the right to remove any owner, groom, rider, driver or the animal without being liable for
any compensation or damages.
9 - As classes may not be shown in the exact order as shown in the premium listing, the exhibitor alone shall be fully
responsible for being aware of when their respective class is due in show ring. When final call to class is made
the ring gate will close and will not reopen until class is finished. All exhibitors must be ready for their class by the
time the previous class ends. Failure to do so will disqualify the entry with no refund allowed or any responsibility
on the part of the show officials or the Grundy County Fair.
10 - Registration papers are not required on any animal entered within Class R. Registration Papers will be defining factor
for size questions.
11 - No pony or horse may double back in the same class with a different rider or driver with the exception of those
animals used in R3 Therapeutic Riding Competition.
12 - The Grundy County Fair Reserves the right to change the Order of Show at any time, for any reason.
