Quite often questions are asked of the office and fair board
members of "how can I help the fair?" Besides attending
daytime and nighttime events or participating in the different livestock/non-livestock shows, any contributions you
have to offer will gladly be accepted. We are set up and able
to receive donations. Think about leaving something to your
fair from your Estate. Your fair has been in existence since
1855 and needs your help to continue in its tradition.
Ride tickets can be purchased before the fair at the Menard
County Fair Office – 10 tickets for $16.00. Ride tickets will
be $2.50 per ticket during the fair. Each ride will require one
ticket per ride.
The Menard County Fair Association is a non-for-profit organization that relies on your help and state funding.
Anything you can do is appreciated!
Due to the generosity of local businesses, organizations,
Menard County Fair Board, and Boden Amusements,
FREE Carnival ride tickets will be given away starting at
6 pm on Thursday, July 18. (While supplies last)

Thanks to Superintendents
We would like to thank the Superintendents and the many

that Menard County deserves. Thank you again.

The Menard County Fair Association is a non-for-profit organization that’s success
relies on the help of donors and state funding. Unfortunately, Illinois State funding
for county fairs has been drastically reduced over the years, and with rising costs,
we are tasked with doing more with less. Your fair has been in existence since 1855
educating the community and providing entertainment to the area, together with
your help we can continue this great tradition.
Please consider the Menard County Fair when
planning your estate or making your community donations!
Ways that you can help:
ATTENDANCE
The fair offers many daytime and nighttime events for all ages to enjoy!
PARTICIPATION
There are many different livestock and non-livestock shows and events to participate in!
VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME
Many community members offer a wide variety of talents and time to support the
various fair events.
MONETARY DONATIONS
Consider leaving something from your estate or an annual contribution.
We are a 501(C)(3) organization. Any donations are tax deductible!
ANYTHING YOU CAN DO IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Together we can continue to build something incredible for our wonderful county!

Menard County 4-H Show
NEW THIS YEAR, most Menard County 4-H non-livestock projects will
be judged on SUNDAY, JULY 13th, and members will be required to
be present to do conference judging. Exhibit requirements and other
4-H Show information (schedules, premium info, rules & regulations,
etc.) can be viewed in the Menard County 4-H Show Book on the Extension website at http://web.extension.illinois.edu/lms/
menard4hshows/, or at the Extension Office in Petersburg. The main 4
-H Leader of each club will also have a hard copy of the 4-H Show
Book. 4-H exhibitors can check their projects in from 1:30 - 2:30
p.m. on SUNDAY, JULY 13th. Conference judging will begin at 3:00
p.m. and continue until completed. Once judging is complete on Sunday there will be fun activities followed by a light dinner and award
presentations. Exhibits and ribbons will remain on display at the fair
until SUNDAY, JULY 20, 2014, when they may be removed between
2:30 and 4:00 p.m. (the building may remain accessible until 7:00
because of Fair release times). Exhibits removed early without prior
approval will be dropped one grade and premium paid on that rating.
Projects left in the 4-H building after the pick-up time will be brought
back to the Extension Office on Monday morning. We recommend that
items of sentimental value or worth not be used in project displays.
4-H members are encouraged to look over the fair book and enter junior and open classes that are of interest to them. However, you MUST
have a SEPARATE EXHIBIT for 4-H and fair classes. One item
cannot be used for both.
The money for 4-H premiums comes from the Agriculture Premium
Fund. Those funds are dependent upon the State of Illinois General Assembly making sufficient appropriations to pay such premiums. Pending
legislation, premiums may not be paid until State funding is received.

2014 Menard County Livestock Sale
Rules & Regulations
Only youth enrolled in the Menard 4-H program that exhibit livestock
during the Menard County 4-H Show will be eligible to participate
in the sale.
A 4-H member must attend a minimum of three local 4-H club meetings/activities to be eligible to sell an animal in the Menard County Livestock Sale. Club meeting attendance will be verified by
club minutes taken by the secretary and member sign-in sheets
from each club meeting held. College students unable to attend
their club meetings due to enrollment at an institution away from
home must notify their club leader of their status AND must submit a written request for an exemption to this rule to the Extension
Office prior to the 4-H show to be approved by the Livestock Sale
Committee.
A 4-H member must work at least one shift at the 4-H Food Stand
prior to the sale. The 4-H member has three options: working one
of their club’s scheduled shifts during the fair; work the cleaning
shift prior to the fair; or signing up for an alternate shift during the
fair. The 4-H member is responsible for reporting their work prior
to the sale. Shift times and options will be worked out with the
club leader or Extension staff.
A member must be present at the 4-H Show to care for and exhibit his/her livestock to be eligible to participate in the sale.
Advanced written permission from the Livestock Sale Committee must be obtained to retain sale rights if the member
will be unable to exhibit.
A member is expected to dress appropriately when in the 4-H Show
and Sale rings. The member should strive to represent 4-H in a
positive and respectful manner. Closed toed shoes should be
worn for safety reasons.
Eleven percent (11%) of the sale premium (sale premium = sale price
- market value of animal) will be withheld from each member’s
check. Ten percent will be donated to the Menard County 4-H
Federation to support 4-H scholarships, and one percent will be
used to help cover expenses of the livestock sale. The ten percent withholding for scholarships will only apply to animals that
bring at least ten percent above current market price. The additional one percent to help cover sale expenses will only apply to
animals that bring at least eleven percent above current market
price.
All sellers should observe proper withdrawal periods on any antibiotics used in treating or feeds of sale animals. Seller will be responsible for any loss incurred.
4-H members may consign a maximum of ONE animal from the following list: one barrow, one market gilt, one steer, one market
heifer, one sheep wether, one market ewe, one dairy or boer goat
wether, one market pen of poultry, or one market pen of rabbits.
Animals sold must be those exhibited in 4-H Show classes. The
only exception will be if a member has multiple Grand Champions
(Grand Champion Steer or Market Heifer Overall, Grand Champion Barrow or Gilt Overall, Champion Market Lamb, Champion
Dairy or Boer Goat Wether, Champion Pen of Poultry, and/or
Champion Rabbit Meat Pen). Entry fees for this year’s livestock sale will be $4.00 per animal, and will be deducted
from the seller’s check.
Buyers will pay the amount of the bid less market price stated
sale day. Buyers will be billed and asked to pay within 30
days. *Each 4-H'er will be paid only after all of the buyer's money
has been collected.
The seller will be responsible for showing their appreciation to their
buyers. Livestock buyer plaques and discs will not be provided.
It is the seller’s responsibility to express their intent to sell by filling
out the entry form in the fairbook, and return it with their 4-H entries by July 10, 2014 at 4:00pm. Entries can be delivered to the
Extension office or to the Menard County Fair office. If the seller
is showing more than one species they are able to change their
sale entry only if they have a Supreme/Grand/Reserve Champion
in another species. It is the seller’s responsibility to let the species superintendent know of their change within ½ hour of the
end of the species show. Members who fail to make entries
during the designated time will not be allowed to sell.
Supreme, Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion animals
in each livestock division will sell before other animals in the
same livestock division. The Livestock Sale Committee will determine the remaining sale order.
Barrows, market gilts, steers, market heifers, market ewes, sheep
and goat wethers will be weighed. No wet sheep or beef allowed.
Limit one halter when needed.
There will be no minimum/maximum weight requirements. However, 4-H members who exhibit in market classes are expected to have their livestock in market condition when exhibiting.
Animals that enter the sale, which do not bring current market value
through the auction, may be considered as eligible for NO SALE.
Poultry will sell first followed by rabbits, goats, sheep, swine and
beef.
Barrows and market gilts will sell by the pound, steers and market
heifers will sell by the pound, market lambs will sell by the pound,
goat wethers will sell by the head, market pen of poultry will sell
by the pen, and market pen of rabbits will sell by the pen.
Out of respect for the buyers, no livestock will be allowed to be loaded or leave until the livestock sale is completed. Exhibitors that
leave early will forfeit their premium from the sale.
All buyer checks will be made payable to the Menard County Farm
Bureau. All receipts and expenses will be handled through the
Menard County Farm Bureau Office. Location of the sale clerk
will be announced during the sale.
The sale will be under the auspices of the Menard County Farm Bureau and the Menard County Livestock Sale Committee.
All animals will be reserved/retained by the members. Livestock
Sale participants are responsible for taking their own animals home following the sale (shipping of livestock to market will not be provided).
