In memory of ...
Bob
became
completely in
charge of the
Thorough-
bred Racing
Gates in
1986. Bobs
professional-
ism garnered
great respect
from both co-
workers and
employees.
Friends and Fair workers always enjoyed yearly visits
with Bob and Carol (Bobs wife) at the fair. Racing at
the Van Wert County Fair will never be the same without
Bob, but his memory will live on in the hearts of all who
knew him.
Ray and JoAnne
Prowant started
working at the Van
Wert County Fair in
1948 for JoAnnes
father, W.S. Myers
of the Myers Conces-
sion Company. They
sold Frozen Cherry
Custard along with
other food items.
In 1966, they
formed Durant En-
terprises, and began
to buy amusement
rides, and increase
their line of conces-
sion trailers.
Today, their com-
pany services many
county fairs, festivals and company picnics. You can still
find the Frozen Cherry Custard on the midway at the Van
Wert County Fair this year, as well as many other treats
offered by Durant Enterprises.
Kenny enjoyed all his time
with anyone he met or worked
alongside at the Van Wert
County Fair. He became owner
of the Farmers Daughter 36
years ago and enjoyed the peo-
ple he served. He donated his
time and assets to the Van Wert
County Fairgrounds, Van Wert
county 4-H, and Crestview FFA.
Kenny and his brother Roger
dedicated over 75 combined
years in owning and operating
the Farmers Daughter. Kenny
will be greatly missed by his employees, and Van Wert
Fair Members.
Ethan did the
Patriotic Show
at the opening of
the Senior Fair
Horse Show at
the Van Wert
County Fair for
the last two years
with his horse
Daphine. He
was a student
at Ohio State
University, he
studied BSBA
Accounting and
was Assistant
in the Equine
Program. His
favorite Quote: Lets Mount up and Move out. He
loved Rodeos, Horseback riding, camping and fishing.
He will greatly missed by the 4-H and Van Wert County
Fair Directors.

VAN WERT COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY CONSTITUTION

Article I
This society shall be known as the Van Wert County Agricultural

entertainment of the general public.

Article III
Members of this society must be residents of the county, be 18
years of age or older, must purchase a membership certificate, and

directors of this society. Membership certificates shall bear the day
and year the membership begins and terminates, the name of the
society, a space for the signature of said member, and spaces for
county and non-county residents. Membership certificates shall
also serve as an individual admission to the annual exhibition of the
society as stated on the certificate. Anyone between the ages of 9
and 17 may purchase a membership certificate but has no voting
privileges.

Article IV
This society shall consist of fifteen (15) Directors; one (1) from each
of the twelve (12) townships in the county, but not a resident of the
villages of said townships, two (2) from within the corporation
limits of the City of Van Wert, residents of which may not run for
Director of townships within the city limits and (1) Director to
represent all the incorporated villages of the county and residents
of the City of Delphos who reside in Van Wert County. When a
resident of the township, village or city does not seek re-election or
no one runs for Director of the township, village or city, the Van
Wert County Fair Board may appoint a Director-At-Large to
represent the township, village or city where a vacancy is declared
until the next election of Directors which is held at the Fair each
year. If no one runs for that particular area, the Director-At-Large
may be reappointed. When the term for the township, village or
city becomes a full three year term and no one declares for the said
Directorship of the township, village or city by Friday at 5:00pm
before the first day of the Van Wert County Fair, any member of
the Society may take a petition to run for the position of Director-
At-Large for the said township, village or city for the full three year
term. An individual may only run for one Directorship position per
year. The position will be voted on by the Fair membership at the
election of Directors that is held each year during the Fair between
the hours of 11:00am and 7:00pm the last full day of the Fair. One
third (1/3) of the Directors will be elected each year for a three (3)
year term. Only bona fide members of the Society are entitled to
vote. This elected Director and any other newly elected Directors
will assume the duties of their position at the Annual Meeting of
the membership to be held on the second Saturday in November
following their election.

The Board of Directors shall elect, by ballot, a President, Vice
President, Secretary and Treasurer, who shall hold office for one (1)
year, and until their successors are duly elected. The President and
Vice President shall be Directors and the Secretary and Treasurer
may be Directors.
Article V

LIVESTOCK SALE / JUNIOR FAIR CONSTITUTION

The Junior Fair Livestock Sale is designed to encourage young
people to undertake livestock projects and to reward them for
their efforts. Local businesses and organizations, families and
individuals support the members through purchase of animals
at or over market price. The order of species sold is rotated each
year, with the gallon of milk sold first.

In 2012, the order of sale will be: Milk, Champion Steers (due to
slaughter facility availability), Turkeys, Goats, Steers, Dairy
Feeder Calves, Rabbits, Sheep, swine, Broilers and Roasters

Livestock do not need to meet weight requirements listed for
each species in order to go through Junior Fair Livestock Sale.
They must, however, be within these weight limits to be eligible
for Champion and Reserve Champion. 4-H and FFA under weight
and overweight animals will be given a show grade of B.

Dairy Beef Feeder: 400-600lbs
Hogs: 220-300lbs
Meat Pen Rabbits: 3-5lbs each
Single Fryer: 3-5lbs each
Market Goats: 55lbs or higher

Livestock in the Junior Fair Livestock Sale will be sold in dollar
increments above support price. This will allow buyers to know
the immediate amount of money that they are donating to the
livestock exhibitor. The buyers bill will be the amount of the bid
if the animal is to be sold back at support price. If the buyer is
keeping the animal to be slaughtered by an approved packer,
the amount owed will be the bid price plus the support price.

A commission of 2.5% is taken from the individual sales for the
maintenance and support of the Junior Fair Board and the
payment of livestock check-off fees.

Livestock exhibitors may only go through the sale ring one (1)
time per species. Exhibitors are allowed two (2) trips maximum
through the sale ring.

Examples:
a) An exhibitor with two (2) sheep will only be allowed to go
through the sale ring one (1) time.

b) An exhibitor with two (2) market lambs and two (2) market
hogs will be allowed two (2) trips through the sale ring, one (1)
trip for lambs, and one (1) trip for hogs.

All champions must go through the sale ring. This will count as
the exhibitors trip for that species. If an exhibitor has Grand &
Reserve Champion in the same species, both the Grand &
Reserve Champions will sale. Or, if an exhibitor has Grand &
Reserve Champions in two (2) species, all four (4) will sell.

If seller is unsure at the time of weigh-in whether an animal
will be entered in the sale, the decision to sell must be made
and reported by Monday, September 3, at 10:00am
to the Junior Fair Office.

A terminal show is one in which all animals shown must be
slaughtered.

A terminal sale is one in which all animals consigned to sale
must be sold through the auction and slaughtered.

Dairy Feeders sold through the sale must go to the support
buyer. The Van Wert County Junior Fair Sale is a terminal sale.
Animals not sold in the sale, which are a part of terminal show,
will be sold at the support price and loaded on an approved
packer truck. Violators of this rule may be prosecuted.

Participation by dairy exhibitors in the sale of milk will be
counted as once through the ring (this includes any member
receiving proceeds from the dairy sale).

See individual livestock departments as listed in the Junior Fair
Book for more guidelines and restrictions on each species.

goat, dairy feeders, and poultry projects. DUNF (Drug Use
Notification Forms) are required for all milking or market
animals. This rule per the Livestock Show Reform Act Advisory
Board and the Ohio Department of Agriculture, October, 1998.

Section I
1) All Junior Fair Exhibitors must obtain Quality Assurance
Training by attending one of the Quality Assurance Training
clinics provided by the Junior Fair Board, 4-H Council, or 4-H/FFA
Chapter with a Certified Trainer.
2) The DUNF form must be turned in at the time animals are
brought to the fair. If exhibitor has not been certified through a
Quality Assurance Program or has not completed the DUNF,
exhibitor will NOT be allowed to show animals at the Van Wert
County Fair.
3) All animals, except swine, will enter at Gate 4 (Medical Arts
Gate). Swine will enter Gate 5 (SW Gate near the old swimming
pool). Exhibitor must show DUNF form to unload animals.

exhibitors aware of the need to have animals drug-free
(exhibition drug reside legal) on the first day of the fair.
2) If an animal becomes sick or lame during the fair, notify the
barn superintendent and appropriate treatment must be
approved.
3) Parents are required to sign the DUNF to certify the animals
are drug-free and residue levels are legal.

DUNF will be a positive tool for sale of Junior Fair Animals.
5) Use of the DUNF and Quality Assurance education results in
fewer, if any, tamper rule regulations.

I. Purpose of Interview Judging
a) Interview judging, required of all 4-H projects, enhances the
educational experience, gains the member interviewing skills,
builds self-esteem and provides a leveling effect between
members with or without top animals in livestock projects.
Completed records and 4-H judging interviews are necessary to

Poultry, Rabbits, and Horses, along with Crop and Garden
projects. Special Interest, Food & Nutrition, Cloverbud and
Clothing projects will be judged on Wednesday, July 18, 2012.

based for non-livestock projects will be 100% interview
evaluation. Livestock project final grade will combine interview
of 51% and show ring grade of 49%. County fair premium money
is given for each class.
c) Interview judging of all projects is required for 4-H members;
those not participating will be automatically graded incomplete.
1) No youth will be permitted to exhibit at the county

or packet from the Extension Office.
e) Judging Requirements:
1) Member must bring completed project book and

winning trophy awards.
6) Consideration in judging will be given for members age,
number of years in the same project or project area, and
handicap or learning disability.
7) The 4-H grade will not affect the fair show placing.
8) Members who do not take part in regular or alternate
judging due to Uncontrollable Circumstances, such as illness
or other serious matter, must inform the OSU Extension Office
within seven (7) days of the regular judging date. Decisions
regarding any possible later project evaluation will be made by

1) 4-H is the major youth development program of Ohio State
University Extension in Van Wert County. It pairs education
with fun & community living in a club system to teach life skills
and build positive esteem in young people.
2) 4-H is open to all young people, ages 8-19, (4-H rules state
you must be no older than 18 on January 1 of current year) of
any race, color, religion, creed, or ability. Clubs may also accept
5-8 year old 4-H Cloverbud members. While 4-H has its roots in
rural life, the majority of its members are now non-rural. To be
eligible as a 4-H member, you must be age 8 and in the third
grade on January 1 of the current year.
3) The 4-H projects listed on the following pages are one
method of achieving the 4-H educational experience. 4-Hers
exhibit these to show their pride and accomplishment in
learning by doing. The exhibits themselves are just a symbol
of the time and effort that each member puts into his/her club
through projects, community service, and leadership activities.
4) To be a member in good standing and for fair exhibition
privileges, a 4-H member must attend at least 50% of their
clubs meetings. Failure to comply with this rule will result in
loss of 4-H privileges. For more information see 4-H member
guidelines in 4-H Project and Fair Requirement Book.
