Clover Rover

Dear Reader,

This is the last issue of the Clover Rover that you will receive prior to the fair.  READ IT!

An annual reminder: The purpose of Jr. Fair activities is to promote a positive learning environment for our Jr. Fair exhibitors.  Exhibitors, parents and volunteers are expected to maintain a friendly level of sportsmanship and cooperation throughout the fair. 

Remember, it’s the process, not the project, that is the most important.  The primary objective of Jr. Fair is to highlight our youth and what they have learned and/or accomplished.  Not everyone can win a trophy or a blue ribbon, but everyone is a winner for giving it their best.  Each and every one of our youth is a blue ribbon kid!

Fair week is not the time to break or train an animal.  Any animal posing a threat to other animals, exhibitors, fair-goers, etc. will be dismissed from the fairgrounds.

Also, live animals and small children are not permitted in revues at the fair, with the exception of the Sew for Others revue.  Children are permitted in this revue, if the garment was constructed for the child.

Jr. Fair exhibitors are responsible for their livestock from the time it enters the fairgrounds until the animal(s) leaves the fairgrounds, or is loaded onto a buyer’s truck.  Any exhibitor not taking proper care of their animals will forfeit all awards, premiums, etc.

Don’t forget that County Judging is Friday, July 15, 9:00am - 4:00pm, at the Moose Lodge, 1200 Sweitzer Street, Greenville. 

In closing:
“Do not judge others until you have stood in their place.”
-- Hillel, Jewish scholar and rabbi (c. 60 B.C.-c. 10 A.D.)

See YOU at the fair!

Best Wishes,
