2017 EXECUTIVE

Left to Right: Alan Duthie, Past President, Brian Kenney, President, Aaron Culver, 1st Vice-President, Debbie Morrison, 2nd Vice-President.

Welcome to the 177th Norfolk County Fair & Horse Show presented by the Norfolk County Agricultural Society. As President it is my honour to offer our gratitude for your ongoing support and participation in Canada’s largest County Fair.

This year we also have the pleasure of celebrating the 150th Anniversary of our great nation. Canada is truly a great place to live and work and we embrace our culture and heritage that is best exemplified in the pride of Agricultural fairs that are held from sea to sea to sea. Thanks to your work and passion in entering hundreds of competitions of every variety, our displays and shows are of the highest qualities that ensure that the fair goer is entertained and educated in a great atmosphere.

The backbone of the Fair has been and will always be our volunteers who dedicate hundreds of hours over the entire year in planning, preparing and executing the Fair. They are our friends, our neighbours and all become part of the Fair family who have a passion for every interest and everything you see at the Fair. Our organization has over 40 committees who organize everything from the traditional Warriors’ Day Celebration that commemorates our veterans of every service to the Youth Participation and Kids World Committee’s who host and collaborate with groups to bring activities and programs to next Fair generation.

The big shows at the Grandstand bring the roar of the crowd nightly and the Rec Centre where you can also enjoy the Taste of Norfolk enjoying great foods and beverages while being entertained by shows you won’t want to miss. Our Craft Brew Lounge in Building 5 celebrates a booming local beer and cider industry producing award winning flavours to savour. Commercial Exhibitors and Flavourfest have everything from soup to nuts to take home, while the excitement and taste of Fair Food pulls us back to the midway every year. The popular Norfolk Has Talent Showcase will bring the best entertainers from across the county to the Fair for the first time on Thanksgiving Monday.

A big thank you for the support of all of our sponsors throughout the community and the Province of Ontario “Celebrate Ontario Fund” for helping us bring you great entertainment.

One day at the Fair is never enough so I hope you come back again and again to check out all of our barns and buildings, our shows and events and share our pride and excitement that just isn’t available anywhere else. It’s all here – every year, at the Norfolk County Fair & Horse Show!

Brian Kenney President – Norfolk County Agricultural Society

Definition of an “Entry”For the purpose of the Dairy and Beef Cattle Classifications an entry shall be interpreted as follows:

All Purebred registered dairy and beef cattle, whether owned by one person or by more than one person (individually or jointly) which are maintained on one farm or breeding unit, are considered to be the production of one farm or breeding unit.

Therefore, entries per Division from such farm or breeding unit shall be as authorized in 2(c) above.

Where the same interests are involved in more than one breeding operation, such operations are considered as one breeding unit.

General Rules:

Because of budget restraints the following rules will be applied.

A. In a DAIRY or BEEF Division, if a Breed has less than THREE (3) EXHIBITORS and/or TWENTY FOUR (24) ANIMALS, PRIZE MONEY WILL BE REDUCED BY 50%.

B. If less than THREE (3) EXHIBITORS and/or TWENTY FOUR (24) ANIMALS are entered in a Breed at the time entries close, the Committee will look at the possibility of CANCELLATION of that Breed Show for future years.

5. Eligibility: (a) No animal will be allowed to show unless its Registration

Certificate, Health Charts, Records of Performance or Beef Cattle Testing Program, where required, are available for inspection and found in order by the officials in charge before judging. Documents may be checked before unloading cattle.

(b) Ownership: All animals must be registered in the name of the exhibitor as owner prior to the showing.

(c) No animal of inferior or mediocre type of quality will be accepted for showing. A culling committee shall be empowered to refuse the showing of any such type (Either of Co-chairman and two members of Cattle Committee.)

(d) All registered cattle, whether owned by one person or more than one person (individually or jointly), which are maintained on one farm or breeding unit, are considered to be the production of one farm or breeding unit. Therefore, entries per division from such farm or breeding unit shall be as authorized in 2c.

(e) A projection of milk production computer printed on an inspection report is proof of performance provided that the inspection report was printed within sixty days of the day of judging and that the projection is based on a lactation period of at least 90 days.

NOTE: A projection of a cow’s milk production may be used to qualify the cow or her daughter, where applicable, but not her sons. No photocopies or copies of sales catalogues will be accepted as proof of performance.

Fair and Agriculture Canada and also may be subject to Veterinarian inspection.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS COVERING CATTLEEXHIBITED AT ALL FAIRS

1. BRUCELLOSIS: Any cattle, other than those from a herd under quarantine, are eligible

to enter a show without restriction if from a Brucellosis Free Region. Therefore, if cattle meet the above requirements there is no need to demand a Certificate of Health (AGR 1496). Cattle originating in a non-contagious Brucellosis Free Region, other than Ontario, are to be accompanied by a Permit Form (AGR 1642).

NOTE: These regulations apply to 4-H calves.To avoid delays and disappointment, you should make arrangements for testing as soon as possible and well in advance of the show date.

2. TAMPERING WITH CATTLE - Unnatural practices in fitting will not be tolerated, and all cattle entered for competition shall be presented in the judging ring in their own natural conformation and natural physical condition.

- 10 -

3. BREEDING CAPABILITY - In cases where doubt exists in the mind of the judge or official as to the breeding capability of an animal, the exhibitor may be required to furnish evidence to the satisfaction of the official concerned.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For the protection of owners, health regulations will be rigidly enforced.

Gate Admission RegulationsOne of the biggest problems for a Fair is “Gate Control”. We ask all exhibitors to co-operate by regarding their gate admission as part of their entry fee. Truck, driver & passenger with livestock will be admitted free. All others must have “Passes” or pay.
