Harvest Fair Handbook

Introduction

Organizing a harvest fair can be a lot of work, but it can also be a very rewarding experience for the

entire community as well as the organizers. Harvest fairs are a good way to get everyone together to visit and have fun before the busy fall season or before the cold winter.

Harvest fairs: • promotecommunityspiritandpride,• encouragecommunitymemberstoshare

knowledge and show others what they have made or grown,

• serveasawaytoraisefundsforyouthgroupsandotherprojectsthatbenefitthecommunity,

• provideadrug-andalcohol-freeenvironmentforfamily-oriented,funandhealthyactivities,and

• alloweveryonetoshareinthebountyofacommunity garden.

The key to a successful fair in your community is to get everyone involved in

the planning and preparation.

Fairs are also educational.

Harvest fairs: • provideanopportunityforcommunitymem-

bers to show what they have been making, growing or doing and how they do it,

• showcaseuniquevegetables,beautifulcrafts,new recipes and new ways to preserve food, and

• inspirepeopletotrysomethingthey’veneverdonebeforebyofferinghigh-qualityartsandcraft items.

Manyhandsmaketheworklight.Butyou’llstillneedsomeone in charge, or a fair committee, to coordinate volunteers and make sure all the jobs get done. Think about joining forces with other communities and rotating leadership each year so that the organization work is shared. With enough energy and forethought, you may be able to bring in a bluegrass band, per-formers or workshop teachers for the fair.

This handbook should be a starting point for plan-ning your fair, and it is designed to be adapted to your uniquecommunity.Tothatend,thereareblankspacesthroughout the handbook for you to add your own record of what works well.

Volunteers

Volunteer help is needed before, during and after the fair. Several months before the fair, plan-

ners are needed to decide who to invite, what events will take place, who will do what jobs and what the schedule will be. Volunteers are especially needed on thedaybeforeandthedayofthefair.Butdon’tforgetcleanup! This might be the hardest event to recruit volunteers for. To keep track of volunteers, use the VolunteerSign-upSheetonpage22.

The jobs described below will give you an idea of the “peo plepower” you will need for the fair.

Overall CoordinatorThis person “gets the ball rolling” by enlisting other volunteers, assigning tasks and making sure all the jobs get done. The coordinator needs to stay informed of work other volunteers are doing as well as help out when needed. The coordinator also plans the layout of the fair and delegates tasks when needed.

The coordinator should make sure that everything is cleaned up after the fair and that all volunteers and sponsorsgetapersonal“thank-you”fortheircon-tribution. This will make the coordinating job a lot easier the following year. You can use the blank cer-tificateofappreciationfoundinthisbookletorwriteindividual notes.

Assistant CoordinatorsThese people, along with the overall coordinator, could be part of a fair committee. Depending on the size of your fair, you could assign one person to each area or combine jobs.

1. The Publicity Coordinator helps choose the dates, location and events of the fair and is also responsible for advertising the fair by contacting radiostationsandpostingflyers.

2. The Exhibit Coordinator coordinates volunteers whowillacceptandrecordentries,findsjudgesand plans the set up of the exhibit area.

3. The Prize Coordinator solicits donations from local businesses and individuals, determines how draw-ings will be held, assigns prizes and runs the draw-ings on fair day and arranges booths and displays.

Invite a Cooperative Extension agent or other agency to have a table at your fair.

The following jobs must be filled for the fair to go smoothly.

4. Exhibit Registrars are stationed at the front table to accept and record entries. They help exhibitors fillouttagsandarrangeentriesbylotsontablesfor judging. They should be familiar with judg-ingstandardsandabletoanswerquestionsand/orassist people in preparing their entries. An infor-mation sheet, a sample exhibit tag and registration sheets are included in this handbook (pp. 5–13).

5. Judges should have some experience in the area they are judging. For example, a gardener would judge vegetables, a bead or skin sewer arts and crafts, and a good cook baked goods. Judges can work alone or in teams. They assign points for entries and write positive and helpful comments on scorecards. Entries are then ranked and award ribbons are attached to winning entries. Judging scorecards for the various divisions are included inthishandbook(pp.14-21).

Fair Schedule

The whole fair can be held in one (long) day, but usuallyboothset-upandexhibitentryandjudg-

ing happens during the day and evening before. You

should give people plenty of time to enter exhibits — at least four hours. Depending on the number of entries and judges, judging can take anywhere from two to six hours.

Events on the day of the fair can be scheduled for dif-ferent locations around town, or everything can take place at a community hall or school, indoors or out-side. The fair committee — people who know about their community — can make the decisions about these details.

Don’t forget to schedule time in the day or the following morning for cleanup.

Fair Entry Guidelines, Rules for Fair and Fair Entry Master list should be posted or distributed one month beforethefairtogivepeopleadequatetimetoplanand prepare their exhibits.

Awards and PrizesEach person who submits a fair entry can be entered into a drawing for door prizes. This could be one big pool or divided into separate drawings for youth and adults or other divisions. You may want to have a drawing just for fair volunteers.

Schedule a time for drawing and announcing the winnersofdoorprizes,rafflesandothercontests—maybe during a potluck at the end of the day. The winners of grand champion ribbons (or all ribbons, depending on how many entries there are) could also be announced at this time. Local or regional busi-nesses may be willing to donate goods, services or evencash.Prizesmayincludebooks,giftcertificates,airlinetickets,fuel,giftcertificatesand/orotherin-kind donations.

Judging ExhibitsGenerally, adult and youth (16 years and younger) exhibitsarejudgedseparately.It’suptoyouandyourcommunityifyou’dliketofurtherdivideyouthintotwo or three age groups so little kids can win ribbons.

Exhibits are judged “blind,” that is, the name of the person who entered it is not known. For this reason, judges cannot help accept and record the entries. However, judges should be available when entries are beingtakenincasethereareanyquestions.

All exhibits should have been made or grown during the past year and should not have been entered previ-ously. If people want to enter older items, these items aretakenfordisplayonlyandarenotjudged.Cloth-ing and other sewing entries may have been used previously but should be clean and not show signs of wear. Food items should be entered in standard amounts:forexample,onepintofjarredfish,onecake,onepoundofdriedfish,etc.Vegetableentrieshavedifferentrequirements,whichareoutlinedintheProduceExhibitGuidelines(page13).

LOTEXHIBIT

Exhibits within each lot are judged in comparison to one another. The “best” exhibit is usually awarded a first-placeblueribbonifitmeetsacceptedstandards.It is possible that no entry in a lot will win a blue ribbon if, in the opinion of the judge, none are of first-placequality.Exhibitorsshouldbeencouragedto enter exhibits according to the rules so that judging is between similar entries. For example, if all potato entries are heavily scabbed, the highest award would probably be second place.

Depending on the size of your community, you may want to simplify this system and eliminate classes or lots or to make judging easier.

Youcanchoosetogivejustfirst-,second-andthird-place ribbons, or you can also award grand cham-pion ribbons. Some fair committees decide to award donated prizes to grand champions, but your fair committee might also choose to use donated goods as door prizes, so that everyone has an opportunity to win something. That way no one is left out and ev-eryone is encouraged to come to the fair, even if they don’tenteranything.

DisplaysYoucanhaveatableintendedforexhibitsthatdon’tfitintoanycategoryorforexhibitorswhowouldliketo show off more than one exhibit in a particular lot. Thisisatypeofshow-and-telltable.

Sample Exhibit TagExhibit tags provide the exhibitor with a receipt of entryandprovideanonymity.Exhibitorsfilltheseoutwith the help of volunteers and keep the white copy as their receipt of entry. The yellow copy is attached to the exhibit and folded so that judging is anony-mous. After judging, any award won is marked on the tag. You can use a generic duplicate receipt or order special exhibit tags with carbon copies. Just make sureyoufoldoverthereceiptsothatjudgescan’tseethe name of the exhibitor.

Some fair committeees have opted for an even simpler exhibit tag — a paper plate! The number of the exhibit is written on the paper plate and recorded in the master exhibit list when entered. Then exhibits are grouped visually rather than by class and lot. This is a simpler method and might take some of the headaches out of entering exhibits. For example, two people bring in carrots to enter. One might be assigned number 10 and the other 18. Both would be placed together on a table with the other vegetables and would be judged togeth-er, but would not necessarily have a class or lot. This is also a way to make sure judging is blind.

Judging Guidelines

The philosophy of village fairs is to provide a sharing and participatory environment for healthy

competitionandfun.High-qualityexhibitsareapartof this competition. The purpose of judging is to

• Providerecognitionandrewardforqualityproducts.

• Provideaneducationalopportunity, - for the exhibitor, - for the public, and - for future judges.

• Offerencouragement - by acknowledging the importance of every

entryandthatitrepresentssomeone’shardwork and personal pride,

- by treating every exhibit with respect, and - by showing exhibitors where they might

make improvements.

General Judging RulesExhibits are competitive. Judging, using the Ameri-can system, results in identifying the “best.” Ties for placing are discouraged. The number of exhibits in competition is not a factor in determining places — qualityis.

Onebluefirst-placeribbon,oneredsecond-placerib-bonandonewhitethird-placeribbonmaybeawardedin each lot.

No ribbon should be awarded unless the exhibit merits the award.

Exhibitors and the public have a right to know who the judges are. Judging ProcedureEachgroupofdivisionshasascorecardthatreflectsthe judging standards. Every exhibit should have ascorecardandcomments.Commentsshouldbephrased in a positive manner so exhibitors can learn how to improve. Volunteer helpers and entry clerks
