Our Sincere Congratulations In Her AchievementAnd For Her Future Success From PNC Bank of La Plata, 301-392-5401

Queen Nicotina 80th


Welcome to the 93rd Charles County Fair. On behalf of the Fair Board Directors, I want to thank all of you for participating in and patronizing the Charles County Fair!

Some of you may be new to Charles County and are wondering what is the County Fair. The

Charles County Fair is a celebration of Charles County. What our county has been, is , and what we hope it will become. We have a wonderful Agricultural and Family Oriented Fair for all ages to enjoy.

The Fair is a non-profit organization run by a group of people that represent Charles County businesses,

farms, and professional people who donate their time and labor. I want to thank the many volunteers who help man the buildings during the Fair to make it a great success every year.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to purchase a memorial brick for the floor of the oldest building on the Fair grounds it is not to

late. Just fill in the form below and send in the payment to the Charles County Fair. Remember to save time and money by ridding the shuttle bus to the Fair. You may get on the bus behind the Courthouse in La Plata. We hope you enjoy yourself. If anyone has a suggestion to improve the Fair, please feel free to stop by our office during the Fair. Thank You,John T. HindlePresident, Charles County Fair Board

WELCOME TO THE 93rd ANNUAL CHARLES COUNTY FAIR

RISING FROM THE FLAMES

In Spring of 2013, the Charles County Fair suffered a devastating loss. A fire decimated the animal barns used during the fair and other community agri-cultural events. The organization is dedicated to rebuilding bigger and better. Since Charles County Fair, Inc. is a 3(c) non-profit, and does not receive govern-ment support, we will ask the community for its support.

The Old McDonald Barn (the oldest building on the grounds) survived the fire. We will incorporate it into the new construction and felt that a more per-manent floor would enhance the durability of the Barn. We plan to use bricks for the floor, and members of the community have asked for ways to support the Fair in the rebuilding endeavor. Dedication bricks are available to remember family, friends, or just to support the Fair.

The Bricks will be a red barn color and the inscription will be limited to 3 lines with 15 spaces on each line. The 15 characters per line include spaces, capi-tal letters and numbers — no special characters. Please use the grid below to write your inscription in capital, legible characters. The price of each brick will be $100; please fill out a separate form for each brick. Mail forms to: Charles County Fair, Inc., PO Box 968, La Plata, MD 20646.

9. IAFE (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FAIRS AND EXPOSITIONS) NATIONAL CODE OF SHOW RING ETHICS - Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows shall at all times eport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their conduct in this competitive environment shall always reflect the highest standards of honor and dignity to promote the advancement of agricultural education. This code applies to junior as well as open class exhibitors who compete in structured classes of competition. This code applies to all livestock offered in any event at a livestock show. In addition to the “IAFE National Code of Show Ring Ethics,” fairs and livestock shows may have rules and regulations which they impose on the local, county, state, provincial and national levels.

All youth leaders working with junior exhibitors are under an affirmative respon-sibility to do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable acts. Their moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by their fine example. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers and absolutely responsible persons who violate the code of ethics will forfeit premiums, awards and auction proceeds and shall be prohibited from future exhibition in accordance with the rules adopted by the respective fairs and livestock shows. Exhibitors who violate this code of ethics demean the integrity of all livestock exhibitors and should be prohibited from competition at all livestock shows in the United States and Canada.

The following is a list of guidelines for all exhibitors and all livestock in competi-tive events:

1. All exhibitors must present, upon request of fair and livestock show offi-cials, proof of ownership, length of ownership and age of all animals entered. Misrepresentation of ownership, age, or any facts relating there to is prohibited.

2. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers, or absolutely responsible persons shall provide animal health certificates from licensed veterinarians upon request by fair or livestock show officials.

3. Junior exhibitors are expected to care for an groom their animals while at fairs or livestock shows.

4. Animals shall be presented to show events where they will enter the food chain free of violative drug residues. The act of entering an animal in a livestock show is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer and/or absolutely responsible person for show management to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing. Animals not entered in an event

which culminates with the animal entering the food chain shall not be administered drugs other than in accordance with applicable federal, state and provincial statutes, regulations and rules. Livestock shall not be exhibited if the drugs administered in accordance with federal, state and provincial statutes, regulations and rules affect the animal’s performance or appearance at the event.

If the laboratory report on the analysis of saliva, urine, blood, or other sample taken from livestock indicates the presence of forbidden drugs or medication, this shall be prima facie evidence such substance has been administered to the animal either internally or externally. It is presumed that the sample of urne, saliva, blood, or other substance tested by the laboratory to which it is sent is the one taken from the animal in question, its integrity is preserved and all procedures of said collection and preserva-tion, transfer to the the laboratory and analysis of the sample are correct and accurate and the report received from the laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the animal in question and correctly reflects the condition of the animal at the time the sample was taken, with the burden on the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolute-ly responsible person to prove otherwise.

At any time after an animal arrives on the fair or livestock show premises, all treat-ments involving the use of drugs and/or medications for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian.

5. Any surgical procedure or injection of any foreign substance or drug or the external application of any substance (irritant, counterirritant, or similar substance) which could affect the animal’s performance or alter its natural contour, confirmation, or appearance, except external applications of substances to the hoofs or horns of ani-mals which affect appearance only and except for surgical procedures performed by a duly licensed veterinarian for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal, is prohibited.

6. The use of showing and/or handling practices or devices such as striking ani-mals to cause swelling, using electrical contrivance, or other similar practices are not acceptable and are prohibited.

7. Direct criticism or interference with the judge, fair or livestock show manage-ment, other exhibitors, breed representatives, or show officials before, during, or after the competitive event is prohibited. In the furtherance of their official duty, all judges, fair and livestock show management, or other show officials shall be treated with courtesy, cooperation and respect and no person shall direct abusive or threatening conduct toward them.

8. No owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person shall conspire with another person or persons to intentionally violate this code of ethics or knowingly contribute or cooperate with another person or persons either by affirma-tive action or inaction to violate this code of ethics. Violation of this rule shall subject such individual to disciplinary action.

9.

Animal Health Rejection Policy

Animal rejections for health reasons can be made by MDA Animal

Health veterinarians or health inspectors, private veterinarians contracted by

the show, UM Extension employees or individuals designated by fair or show

“responsible person.”

Suspicion of communicable disease is adequate grounds for rejection.

Confirmed diagnosis is not required, since timely removal of suspicious

animals is required by law to protect the remaining animals. If it is believed

that there is a potentially serious communicable disease present, all animals

originating with the suspect animal may be rejected. Vesicular diseases are of

particular concern.

All decisions are final. All parties involved will be notified of all rejections

and the exhibitor is responsible for removal of the animal(s) from the grounds

immediately.

QUESTIONS?If you have any questions or are unsure of any of these animal

health requirements for Maryland fairs and shows, please contact the MDA Animal Health Headquarters Office or Diagnostic Laboratory during normal business hours.

You Can Find It All in 4-H at the County Fair...


The Charles County 4-H program is for boys and girls ages 8-18. Younger children may participate in our non-competitive Clover program for ages 5-7. All ages are as of January 1 of the current year. 4-H programs have exciting club and special interest programs, activities, and events that support learning by doing.

4-H PLEDGE I pledge my HEAD to clearer thinking, my HEART

to greater loyalty,my HANDS to larger service, and my HEALTH to

better living,for my club, my community, my country, and my

world.

4-H MOTTO “To Make the Best Better” “Learn by Doing”

4-H COLORSGREEN and WHITEGreen represents life, springtime and youth. White

symbolizes purity.

THE 4-H MISSIONThe goal of 4-H is to help youth learn everyday living

skills through planned “learning by doing” experiences. 4-H offers many project areas but the current focus is on three main mission areas: SET (Science, Engineering, & Technology), Healthy Living, and Citizenship. While help-ing youth grow and develop, adult volunteers also develop as individuals.

4-H is one of the educational programs of the University of Maryland Extension. 4-H is: a. Informal and out of school b. Organized and directed by volunteer community

leaders c. Composed of clubs and small groups of 5 or more

members and is family-oriented d. Supervised by professional staff

4-H projects allow youth to learn skills and grow as indi-viduals: a. Projects are developed at the University of

Maryland and other land grant universities throughout the country

b. Project groups promote skill development, team-work and social development

The 4-H club is guided by volunteers who work with pro-fessional Extension staff: a. Volunteers may teach projects b. Some volunteers organize the club and are responsi-

ble for the educational programsc. Other volunteers provide support for the total

program

d. 4-H educators teach volunteers to perform their roles

4-H is publicly supported by county, state and federal governments. Private resources, both human and material, are used to enrich the learning experiences of youth and adults.

ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

There are eight essential elements that define a 4-H Youth Development program. These elements fit into four basic ideals that yield positive outcomes in youth, adults and communities. They are: 1. Independence — Youth need to know they are able to

influence people and events through decision-making and action.

2. Belonging — Current research emphasizes the impor-tance for youth to have opportunities for long-term consistent relationships with adults other than parents. This research suggests that belonging may be the sin-gle, most powerful, positive ingredient we can add to the lives of youth.

3. Generosity — Youth need to feel their lives have mean-ing and purpose. By participating in 4-H community service and citizenship activities, youth can connect to communities and learn to give back to others.

4. Mastery — In order to develop self-confidence, youth need to feel and believe they are capable and must experience success at solving problems and meeting challenges.

The 4-H PROJECTThe project is the foundation for learning experiences.

Projects are designed so individuals can progress at their own pace through learning opportunities. With the guidance of parents, volunteers or teen leaders, knowledge is applied to practical life experiences. Projects put the hands and mind to work. Most projects have been designed with several levels so that a member may advance to more difficult and challenging experiences.

4-H offers many project areas but the current focus is on three main mission areas: SET (Science, Engineering, & Technology); Healthy Living; Citizenship.

The three core subject areas include Animal Sciences, Environmental Sciences/Natural Resources, and Human Sciences.

HOW TO BECOME INVOLVED IN 4-H

4-H’ers live in every part of the county from Nanjemoy to Hughesville and Waldorf to Cobb Island, on farms, in rural areas and in towns. Girls and boys ages 8-18 are eligible. Children ages 5-7 may participate in the 4-H Clover program. To learn more about 4-H while at the fair, stop by the 4-H Building. Sign up to attend one of our 4-H Information Nights which will be offered this fall.

THE 4-H CLUBThe 4-H Club offers “learning by doing” experiences

to practice skills in subject matter, teamwork, leadership, and citizenship. Subject matter skills come through project work in small groups, at the club meeting, at home and in the community. Teamwork is learned through planning

and implementing activities such as community service or fund-raising projects. Leadership and citizenship skills are learned through serving as an officer or a committee member.

Community Club — Usually organized in a small geographic area for traveling convenience of those attend-ing meetings. The club meets throughout the year under the direction of volunteer leaders. Its officers include a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and reporter. Members, parents, and volunteer leaders determine what the annual club calendar will include, such as monthly meetings, project group meetings, special activities, commu-nity service projects and county activities.

Special Interest/Project Clubs — Their main focus is on a particular project area, such as dog, rabbit, fish-ing, or shooting sports — archery, shotgun, and air rifle. Depending on the particular club, they may meet through-out the year just as a community club or they may only meet for a specific number of times at a certain time of the year.

BECOME A CHARLES COUNTY 4-H VOLUNTEER

Share your knowledge, time, and talents with young people, our future leaders. One strength of 4-H is the personal touch that volunteers contribute to the lives of young people. Volunteers, who work directly with youth or support the program in hundreds of other ways, create immeasurable impacts. The volunteer leader’s influence in 4-H is often not realized for many years, but is ultimately recognized by the 4-H’er. There are many opportunities to volunteer in 4-H. You can travel, make new friends, learn new subject-matter skills, develop organizational and leadership skills and become recognized as an influential community leader.

Charles County 4-H would like to offer special thanks to the following businesses and individuals for their support of the Charles County 4-H’ers at the Charles County Fair. Their generous donations were used to purchase awards for the 4-H’ers who had champion exhibits in every category in the 4-H building and for every judging contest and showman-ship class and for each age division – Junior, Intermediate, and Senior and for trophies, ribbons and awards for the 4-H Horse Show.

SPECIAL THANKS to the adult volunteers and parents who willingly

donate their time, talents, and resources to benefit the

youth of Charles County throughout the year.

Without their support, the 4-H’ers would not be able to accomplish all the many

things that they do. YOU’LL GO “HOG” WILD OVER OUR SALE… WE WOULDN’T “STEER” “EWE” WRONG!

Charles County 4-H Livestock project members pose for a group photo as they wait for the 4-H Livestock Auction to begin on the Saturday night of the fair at 6:30 p.m.
