TOM ANSTEATT MY CLERMONT COUNTY FAIR LIFE 1941 Tom and family have been lifetime residents of Owensville. At the age of 4, Tom lived across the street from the fairgrounds. Back then, children played everywhere and Tom’s playground was the fairground and so began his love for this fair and in the future, many others. At the age of 5, Tom met Chester Rotroff, the most influential business person back then at the fairgrounds. Tom was hanging around the infields, before the start of the fair, just watching the people and the work going on around him, getting ready for the 1947 Clermont County Fair. Tom started helping Mr. Rotroff and guys by carrying and moving the equipment. When the fair was over, Mr. Rotroff hollered out the window of his truck that year, “meet us at the bank and you can help next year” and so began Tom Ansteatt, Sound Man. At age 10, Tom started “mail in” courses (for adults), that taught audio and TV training. By age 11, Tommy, as he was known to all the “long time” Owensville residents, started his own toaster and small appliance repair business. Having worked already for several years with Mr. Rotroff, he had a very good working knowledge of electricity, wiring, connectors and such. Remember, different times, different working ages, and back then, everyone contributed. At age 12, Tom opened a “store front” one room business, on Main Street, Owensville, a Radio and TV repair shop in addition to his previous repair business while continuing his work with Mr. Rotroff. Just before Tom graduated high school, Mr. Rotroff came to the school to offer him full time employment with his group. Tom traveled with the Rotroff group until he joined the Cincinnati Bell team. During his summer travels with Mr. Rotroff and company, the “summer fair circuit” Tom would go to other fairs doing sound, and when Mr. Rotroff sold the sound business, they then did the Dare Devil Driving Shows, the All Girls Thrill Shows and demo derbies. It was during his time with Cincinnati Bell, Tom was given the opportunity to do the sound job at the 1966 Clermont County Fair. Mr. Rotroff having given up his contract, Tom and his step brother, Tom Martin, did that year’s fairs sound with only 18 speakers. Thus the beginning of Ansteatt Sound. From there his business grew and in 1973 he won the sound contract for the Ohio State Fair, and with that came OKI Sound, Inc. During the early 60’s Tom worked closely with Russel Terry, Clermont County Fair Board President. Mr. Terry remembered Tom from his days of spending so much time on the fairgrounds and they also work together on Owensville Village projects. With Mr. Terry’s encouragement, direction and mentoring, Tom learned of many opportunities available in the “Fair World”. He encouraged Tom to join the OFMA in 1967 and other organizations and Mr. Terry was directly responsible for Tom joining the Clermont County Fair Board in 1966 and ending in 2018. In the years that followed, Tom would become the OFMA, Director, for 10 years and continuously attend their meetings and conventions for 50 years. During Tom’s time as director, one of his primary functions was to meet with county and state officials. While doing this, Tom helped bring about legislation that provided $5 million in grants for construction and upgrades throughout Ohio for county and independent fairs. Tom credits his working relationships with Mr. Rotroff and Mr. Terry as his building blocks to the success that he has today. In 1977, Tom and Judy decided to go full time with OKI, Inc. and are still doing so today. OKI has provided electronics to 22 county fairs and has continuously work with the Ohio State Fair for the last 49 years. Tom and company have brought to the fairs modern paging, building sound systems, telephones, and radio use, with current use of digital technology. Tom and Judy have been married for 56 years and have two children, Franci and Mike.
This, all because of a 4 year olds lifelong love for Clermont County Fair! 2019 CLERMONT COUNTY FAIR - 11

“About” Friends of the Fair Friends of the Fair, (FOF) is a 501 3C non-profit organization established in 2007 to help improve the conditions of the facilities on the fair grounds for the youth of Clermont County. The organization is currently comprised of mainly 4-H Advisors, Parents, Fair Board members, and future 4-H’ers. Each year the organization’s primary source of income is from operating the Pork Booth, next to the Blue Ribbon Café, during the week of fair. They also operate a quarter auction during the fall campout. To date, FOF has raised and donated approximately $150,000 to different projects that have made a direct impact to improve the safety and conditions for the exhibitors. In addition to the money mentioned above, members have also acquired many sizable donations from local businesses which has also gone toward fairgrounds improvement such as a new horse barn (to replace the rented tents used to house the horses) and upgrading the horse show arena, the new Holman Livestock Complex (replacing six existing buildings that were in bad shape or too small for current needs), and most recently, the new rabbit and poultry barn. The members of FOF would also like to thank the community. Without their support, the organization would not be able to give back to the youth, at the current level that they have been able to do so. FOF meets the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm in the Senior Fair Board office, all meetings are open to the public. Anyone is welcome to join the organization.

LIFETIME MEMBERS OF THE CLERMONT COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY These are former board members and certain community members who are still living and who have been honored by the Board for their contributions to the growth and operations of the county fair and fairgrounds.
AL ISON - Al first worked for the Fair Board as racing secretary. In the mid ‘60s, he was elected to the Board and served until the mid 80’s. In addition to serving on many committees, he was Board President for 7 years. While President, the fairgrounds expanded to offer more year round events rather than just being open fair week and the week before and after. ALAN MOTTA - Representing Washington Township, Alan headed the gate committee, and as an attorney, was able to aid us in legal matters. BEA FAUL - Bea was a mainstay on the Board for 27 years. In addition to her 4-H Club, the 4-H Patriots, and her work with Car Teens, Bea headed up a 4-H Dining Hall which served full meals during the fair. She also took charge of many committees, including Department 4 (Art & Needlework,) Dept. 7 (Poultry,) and Dept. 9 (Rabbits,) photography, senior day, pedal pull, fair book, etc. In 2007, she was elected Board President where she served two terms. She represented Miami Township. She received the coveted Outstanding Fair Supporter by OFMA (Ohio Fair Managers Association.) BILL SCHARBER - Bill served on the fair board for 18 years. He helped with security, concessions, cheerleading (where he was a big hit,) sponsorships, plus many more. He served as Board President for 6 years and also was named by OFMA as Outstanding Fair Supporter. BILL WIEDERHOLD - Bill was one of the hardest working Board members to serve on the Board. It seemed like there was no job, large or small that he refused to tackle. He was upbeat and seemed to be always in a good mood which in turn made those around him feel good as well. Not surprisingly, he also served two years as President. BOB PROUD - Bob has been instrumental in developing and continuing our recognition of Clermont County veterans. For many years, he has arranged swearing in ceremonies for new recruits, special programs for our vets and gold star families. Current members of the armed forces as well as veterans can attend the fair each year free of charge. CARL HARTMAN - Carl served as County Engineer for many years and was responsible for an excellent relationship between the Engineer’s office and the Fair Board. He allowed us the use of heavy equipment which was used to ready the track for the tractor pulls and the demolition derby. Current engineer, Pat Manger, has continued that working relationship. FRAN RAPP - From Pierce Township, Fran is a former Board member who worked both with the tractor pulls and horses. He designed and built the horse arena as well as serving on the buildings and grounds committee. HAROLD HERRON - During his 23 years with the fair, Harold served in two different positions-- Executive Director and Executive Secretary. He was responsible for the day to day running of the fair as well as off season activities such as boat and camper winter storage. Many of the current facilities on the grounds were built during his tenure. The Grandstand was rebuilt, and the Agricultural Center and the Multi-Purpose building were added. He brokered the deal where the Ag Center, which was valued at $1,000,000, was purchased for $1. In addition, new camping spots, all with electric and some with water, were created to handle the overflow. JACK GRASER - Although Jack worked tirelessly with many committees, including the truck and tractor pulls and heading up the Cornhole Tournament, Jack will be remembered most as the director who started our fall camp outs. While there were only 13 campers the first year, we now host over 150 campers each year. He represented Monroe Township. JEANNE ZURMEHLY - Jeanne served as our Executive Treasurer for 10 years. During her tenure, the restrooms in the back of the fairgrounds were built. She started a ‘Barn Fund’ for the donations the newly formed Friends of the Fair were receiving as well as other contributions. 14 - 2019 CLERMONT COUNTY FAIR
JOE SPEEG - Former Board member who also served as President. Joe’s interests included structure and organization such as developing five and seven year plans for the Board. Joe also created Christmas in the Country during which the fairgrounds was open in December with light shows, a train display, crafts and a baking contest. Joe is from Jackson Township. JOHN PUCKETT - Retired now, John served as liaison between the Board and the Owensville Fire Department for the Fireman’s Parade as well as being in charge of the First Aid Booth under the grandstand. LORETTA BLEVINS - Loretta has never missed a fair except the year she was born. The only reason she missed that one is because she was only one week old and her mother had been told to stay in bed for 10 days after giving birth. This year will be Loretta’s 83rd fair. She also helps with our fair elections. ROBERT YEAGER - A banker by trade, Bob is a former Board member whose main responsibility was to keep a watchful eye over our finances as fair treasurer and working with the gates. SHIRLEY GIBBONS - Shirley stepped into the role of Concession Manager when her husband, Bill, passed away in the early 1990s after serving on the Board for 18 years. Shirley was also our Rental Manager, thus booking the fairgrounds for weddings and other events throughout the year. Ironically, she served as a Board member for 18 years as well. Shirley and Bill represented Goshen Township. Shirley was awarded a plaque and was given special recognition by GOSA (Greater Ohio Showman’s Association) for her dedication and work with the professional vendors who visit our fair each year and was named Outstanding Fair Supporter by OFMA. Bill was previously honored in OFMA’s Hall of Fame for his contributions to our fair. TIM RODENBERG - Sheriff Rodenberg was our ‘go to’ person when it came to security on the fairgrounds. The Board worked with the Sheriff’s Dept. every year to provide deputies to oversee the fair. TOM ANSTEATT - Tom has the distinction of serving on the Board longer than any Board member in recent history. Representing Stonelick Township, and living in the village of Owensville, he served as liaison whenever needed. He also provided the sound equipment, not only during fair week but throughout the year through his company, OKI. He is a member of the prestigious Ohio Fair Managers Hall of Fame. WENDELL WEHRUM - Wendell stepped into the role of Board Member from Franklin Township when his father, Ralph, retired after serving 50 years. Wendell took over some of his father’s responsibilities and added his own. He oversaw Department 5 (Flowers) and Department 6 (Vegetables, Herbs, and Seeds,) the bicycle races, and the Truck and Tractor Pulls. He also served as Board President two years.
RICHARD (RICK) CRAWFORD The county (and the Fair Board) lost a very unique individual with the death of Rick Crawford on October 30, 2018. He was well known for his love of, and expertise in, two areas--sports and history. He had an encyclopedic mind in both areas, spouting facts and fascinating stories in both fields. He was the high school sports reporter for the Clermont Sun for many years and help create the Clermont County Athletic Hall of Fame for Clermont County schools. For the Fair, he was our official Fair Historian and help write and get published an historical brochure celebrating our 150th Anniversary. He was also responsible for the wording on the historical marker which is placed in front of the Fair office. For many years, during the fair, you would find him on the fairgrounds or in the Owensville Historical booth, enthralling you with little known facts about our county along with a few corny jokes sprinkled in here and there. Rest in Peace, Richard T. Crawford, lover of history, for you will always be an integral part of the history of this county as well as the Clermont County Fair. We will miss you. 2019 CLERMONT COUNTY FAIR - 15

CAKE AND PIE AUCTIONS The auctions are sponsored by USAmbulance Co. and Grant’s Farm and Greenhouses. The Dept. 3 Chair & staff wishes to acknowledge and thank all who participated last year. As always, part of this money went back to the exhibitors who baked the cakes and pies, part to a scholarship (see below), and the remainder was used by the fair board for capital improvements as well as subsidizing the Junior Fair activities. SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIP - From the proceeds of the auctions, a $500.00 scholarship is offered each year to a Jr. Fair Exhibitor who graduated that year and who will be attending college in the fall, majoring in a culinary, nutrition, dietary, or other related field of study. The scholarship is named in honor of Ceil Bee, a long time worker and supporter of not only the Bakery and Pantry Department but of many activities sponsored by the Board. As in past years, the Cake Auction will be Tuesday night at 6:00 p.m. in the Multi Purpose Building and the Pie Auction on Thursday night, same time, same place. Your support of these auctions is appreciated. The 2018 scholarship winner was Anna Francis, daughter of Joe and Sharon Francis. She graduated from CNE and is majoring in Culinary Studies at Kansas State University.

STONELICK TOWNSHIP FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCIATION Is Proud To Sponsor The Sunday, July 21
2019 Fair Parade 1:00 P.M.
Each year the parade seems to get bigger and better, thanks to the Stonelick Township Firefighters Association, who is responsible for this major event. The parade each year is a colorful and exciting way to announce the opening of the fair. Visitors are welcome to sit in the Grandstand, watch the parade, and then roam around the fairgrounds to get an idea of what will be at the fair at no charge. All the 4-H and FFA livestock will have arrived and many of the vendors will be open for business. Unfortunately, the rides cannot be operated until given the okay by the state inspector on Monday morning. To help with the flow of traffic due to the parade, --Please take note-•Anyone walking into the fairgrounds, please use the walk-in gates on Western Ave. or the State Route 132 gate • Anyone driving onto the fairgrounds between the hours of 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., please use the State Route 132 gate. If you would like to be a part of this year’s parade, or have any questions about the parade, please contact the Firefighters Association using their non-emergency phone number: 513-732-1136

WHAT’S NEW FOR LIVESTOCK EXHIBITION IN 2019 by Tony M. Forshey, DVM, Ohio Department of Agriculture The Ohio Livestock Show Reform Act authorizes the Director of Agriculture to adopt mandatory and optional rules. Mandatory rules apply to all livestock shows, while the sponsor has the option to opt out of the optional rules on an individual rule basis.

Livestock is inclusive of all species, except equine; 2. Livestock exhibitions include all county and independent fairs, the Ohio State Fair and all preview and jackpot shows; 3. A sponsor is any entity who conducts an exhibition including preview and jackpot shows; 4. The sponsor may opt out of any or all of the optional rules at least 30 days prior to the opening (a form will be provided and must be returned to the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Division of Animal Industry, 8995 East Main Street, Reynoldsburg, Oh. 43068); 5.

Effective March 23, 2017, OAC 901-19-07 (C): Exhibitors who fail to attend or complete a quality assurance program or fail to pass the exam as outlined in paragraph (B) of this rule may be subject to the disciplinary actions listed in rule 901-19-21 of the Administrative Code. 8. Effective April 22, 2018, Appendix A to OAC 901-19-17 requires junior fair exhibitors to complete a quality assurance program at least 45 days prior to the opening date of the exhibition. 9. Swine being sent to a licensed livestock facility or going out of state for slaughter or commingled with out of state swine must be identified with an official eartag or four digit tattoo. 10.The department does not require Certificates of Veterinary Inspection for exhibition livestock originating in Ohio including swine. However, an exhibition sponsor can choose to require additional regulations above those of the department. 11. Effective March 21, 2016, an acceptable practices rule, OAC 901-19-12 (Q), only permits drenching of livestock for a medical condition at an exhibition when diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian and an unacceptable practices rule, OAC 901-19-13 (H), drenching of livestock at an exhibition is prohibited except as permitted under paragraph (Q) of rule 901-19-12 of the Administrative Code. 12.Effective March 21, 2016, OAC 901-19-13(C) Applying any electrical, mechanical, or other appliance that enhances, transforms, or changes the true conformation, configuration, or appearance of the livestock, unless prescribed by the exhibition veterinarian; 13.Effective March 21, 2016, OAC 901-19-33, Prohibited Grooming Practices, becomes mandatory. 14.Effective February 15, 2003, OAC 901-19-02 (II) “Slick clipping” or “body shaving” means having hair that is less than one half inch in length on the body of market hogs; 15.Even if the sponsor opts out of one or more of the optional tampering rules, the statute prohibits the use of any material, gas, solid, or liquid, that conceals, transforms or enhances the true confirmation or configuration of all livestock, including by way of example but not limited to rope, false hair, graphite, and hemp; 16.For breeding classes the rules of the breed association will constitute acceptable grooming practices; 17.Effective March 21, 2016, OAC 901-19-38, becomes a mandatory rule. 82 - 2019 CLERMONT COUNTY FAIR
18.The Exhibition Livestock Health Rules apply to any exhibition over 36 hours in duration or has livestock whose origin is not Ohio and that exhibition must have an approved veterinarian (a form will be provided and must be returned to the Ohio Department of Agriculture at least 20 days prior to the opening date); 19.Junior market livestock shows at county and independent fairs and the Ohio State Fair are defined as either terminal or partial terminal shows: a. partial means that at least the Grand and reserve Grand champion animals are required to go to slaughter or directly to a licensed livestock facility for slaughter only, b.terminal means all market livestock go to slaughter or directly to a licensed livestock facility for slaughter only; 20.Preview and jackpot shows, as well as breeding classes are non-terminal shows; 21.At all terminal, partial terminal and non-terminal shows urine and hair samples may be collected; 22.A Drug Use Notification Form (DUNF) will be required to be completed for all livestock for which a test sample is collected; 23.OAC 901-19-06 (D) the Director of Agriculture shall require a DUNF be completed for livestock including market steer, market hog, market lamb, veal calf, market dairy steer, market goats, market poultry, lactating dairy cattle and lactating dairy goats, and be reviewed locally (assistance will be available from the Ohio Department of Agriculture by faxing the form to 614-728-6310); 24.For all shows the statute prohibits the misuse of legal drugs (including but not limited to the use of drugs approved for use in humans, but not approved for animal use) and the use of illegal drugs; 25.The statute prohibits the showing of tranquilized livestock, including products such as Calf Calm, and diuretics for cosmetic purposes; 26.All livestock entered in a carcass contest at a terminal, partial terminal, and non-terminal show must be drug free on the day of show: a. the withdrawal time must have elapsed by the day of show, or b. the drug must not exceed the tolerance level on the day of show; 27.Immediately before or during a terminal and partial terminal show and sale and within a valid veterinarian-clientpatient-relationship (VCPR) or for a valid medical purpose a drug or an over-the-counter (OTC) drug may be used if it is declared on a DUNF and the drug’s side effect does not conceal, transform or enhance the conformation of the treated livestock, any such permitted drug use must be disclosed at the time of sale; 28.The drug use notification form shall be filed with the records official prior to the show in which the animal is entered. If at any time, the information on the original drug use notification form changes, an updated form shall be filed immediately with the records official. 29.At non-terminal shows the use of drugs requires a VCPR for prescription and extra-label use of drugs, and OTC drugs must be used for a valid medical purpose and according to label directions and must be declared on a DUNF. The preceding is not intended to be an all encompassing review of the statute and rules as they pertain to livestock exhibitions in Ohio. Exhibitors, exhibition sponsors, parents, advisors, and veterinarians are encouraged to call the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Tony M. Forshey, D.V.M., at 614-728-6220 with any questions. The success of this program is based on the continued input and cooperation of educators, industry, and government. Through your continued support, Ohio will continue to be a national leader in livestock show reform.

VETERINARIAN GUIDE LINES All animals must be on the grounds by the specified times for each species. No animal shall enter the grounds without being inspected by the fair veterinarian or his/her designated assistants. 1. All animals on the grounds will be inspected prior to weigh ins. All animals will be evaluated for infectious/contagious diseases, illness, lameness, etc. Any injured, sick, or other unhealthy animals will be quarantined and further inspected. It will be determined if the animal will be permitted to remain on the grounds. Things that will be specifically visually inspected are, but not limited to, lameness, body condition, ringworm, lice, warts, orf, or foot rot. 2. Any injured, sick, lethargic, or lame animal must be evaluated by the fair veterinarian as soon as reasonably possible. Please report any animal concerns to the Junior Fair Board Office. The fair veterinarian will examine the animal and recommend treatment. The fair veterinarian has the discretion to remove any sick or injured animal as needed. If an animal requires treatment, it may remain on the grounds as long as there is no danger to the public, the animal, or animals. The exhibitor of any animal given a medication is required to fill out drug residue paperwork to insure that the animal will not enter the food chain until the withdrawal time has expired. 3. All animals will be moved and handled in a safe, humane, and efficient manner. Any exhibitor or person mistreating an animal will be asked to leave the grounds. All animals shall have access to clean water, feed, and stall. No animal on the grounds shall have water deliberately withheld for any reason. Bucket watering animals is permissible as long as there is a bucket within the stall and the animal
has reasonable signs of recent watering. Intentionally tampering with the water of any animal with the purpose of reducing water intake shall result in the immediate expulsion of the exhibitor and the project from the grounds. 4. Animals exhibiting signs of zoonotic diseases (those that are transmissible to humans) will be removed from the grounds. Common zoonotic diseases include ringworm, orf, scabies, vesicular stomatitis, etc. 5. All decisions made by the fair veterinarian are final. Any exhibitor can elect to have any veterinarian examine and/or treat their projects; however, the fair veterinarian must be made aware of the diagnosis and all treatments performed. Common sense and good animal ethics will be the guidelines with which all decisions are made. We promote good ethical treatment and husbandry of food animals to the public. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in regards to these matters. I hope that all have a wonderful and rewarding experience at this year’s fair. Thank you, Jason S. Patchell DVM 2019 Clermont County Fair Veterinarian GENERAL RULES FOR JUNIOR LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS General 1. The Clermont County Junior Fair will operate under the provisions of Ohio’s Livestock Show Reform Act and under all applicable Ohio Department of Agriculture Administrative Code Rules. This information is found in this fair premium book or can be found on the websites printed below. 2. All market livestock must be free of all drugs the day of show, day of sale and day of harvest (slaughter) as stipulated by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Read the Ohio Livestock Show Reform Act (http://www.agri.ohio.gov/animal/law/ORC901_Livestock_Show_Reform_Act.pdf ) and the Ohio Department of Agriculture Administrative Code Rules (http://www.agri.ohio.gov/divs/legal/ruleslaws/ruleslaws.aspx) for more information. 3. Exhibitors may be required to show proof of ownership or leasing (horses and dairy cattle) of their livestock project animals upon the request of the Junior Fair Board or Senior Fair Board. Animals must be in the possession and care of the exhibitor by the dates set for each species. 4. The maximum number of animal entries per exhibitor per class is limited to two. Exceptions are listed under species rules. 5. The number of pens, which is defined as a four-sided structure, is limited to four per exhibitor. The species included are sheep, swine, goats, turkeys, ducks and geese. 6. Exhibitors are asked to dress appropriately for shows and sales. Your dress should reflect your pride in your project, yourself and your family, as well as the organization you represent. This means clean clothes and shoes. 7. Animals that leave the fairgrounds after the official check-in time or before the official check-out time Saturday of the fair for each specie, or before the animal sells, will forfeit all rights to show and sell, and will not be allowed to return to the fairgrounds. Exceptions are milking dairy cattle, milking dairy goats, horses not housed in stalls the week of the fair and animals going to the state fair. Participants leaving before checkout time will forfeit ribbons, trophies and any other awards.

A time will be determined for animals leaving the fairgrounds for the state fair by the Junior Fair Coordinators. 9. All judges’ decisions are final. 10. All exhibitors are expected to write thank-you notes to buyers and trophy donors. 11. No animal will be allowed on the fairgrounds after their designated check-in times. This means the animals not admitted are not allowed to show and/or sell. 12. To show, the animal must have been at the pre-fair check-in and/or weigh-in and at the fair check-in and/or weigh-in at the designated time for each specie. 13. For any Championship Drive, a three-minute time limit will be used to get an animal into the show arena. If the exhibitor does not arrive in time, the exhibitor and animal are disqualified from the Championship Drive. 14. Decisions made by the Senior Fair Board appointed vet or designees are final at weigh-ins, tag-ins, check-ins and the fair. 15. As requested by the state veterinarian, help protect fair animals from foot and mouth disease. Do not enter livestock areas if you have been out of the country within the last five days. Foot and mouth disease is not a danger to humans, but humans can expose animals to this infection. 16. No scales other than the official fair scales will be allowed on the fairgrounds. 17. For all market classes, there must be five animals to make a class. Care and Handling 1. All Junior Fair exhibitors are responsible for the care, feeding and handling of ani2019 CLERMONT COUNTY FAIR - 83
mal exhibits and areas around exhibits. Aisles will be inspected daily by adult and junior specie consultants. If an exhibitor must be told to care for or clean his or her animals and stalls, pens or cages, they will be warned and premiums will be withheld. If a second warning is issued, this could lead to disbarment from showing and/or selling animals. That decision would be made by a committee of a Junior Fair Board member, Junior Fair Board specie junior and senior consultants, another Junior Fair Board adult consultant, a Senior Fair Board member and the 4-H or Agriculture/Natural Resource educator. 2. Every exhibitor will be provided a pen, stall or cage for his or her project except horses. Additions or enhancements must be provided by the exhibitors at their own expense. The number of pens, which is defined as a four-sided structure, is limited to four per exhibitor. The species included are sheep, swine, goats, turkeys, ducks and geese. The maximum number of pens provided to exhibitors with goat projects is two. 3. Exhibitors who do not clean their pens, stalls or cages after selling their animals or taking them home will be assessed a $50 cleaning fee per animal, which will be given to the Senior Fair Board to cover the cost of cleaning. Pens, stalls and cages must be cleaned by 10 a.m. Sunday immediately after fair. The stall cards must be left hanging above the pens, stalls and cages. Nothing may be left in the aisles in any barn. All manure, mulch, etc. used in pens, stalls or cages must be taken from the barns and placed in appropriate manure piles. This includes horse stalls. Any animals and/or other property left after 10 a.m. will become the property of the Junior Fair Board. 4. One fan is allowed per pen or stall. No fans used in the barns may be hung by bailing twine. Fans must be hung, according to the fire marshal, with wire. Fans may not be hung by handles. Castration and Dehorning Castration and dehorning must be done well before pre-fair tag-ins/check-ins. The wounds caused by castration and dehorning must be completely healed by the prefair tag-in/check-in. See goat rules for additional dehorning information. Exhibitors owning animals found with any problem concerning castration and/or dehorning at the pre-fair tag-in/check-in will be given seven days to correct the problem. This must be done by a licensed veterinarian at the expense of the exhibitor. A letter certifying the problem has been corrected must be sent to the Ohio State University Extension Office by the veterinarian within seven days of the pre-fair weigh-in/check-in. Failure to comply will result in disqualification. A blank tag will be placed in the animal’s ear at the pre-fair tag-in/check-in; when the letter is received, the JFB coordinator and/or a consultant will come to insert a new tag and collect a $200 fee per animal. This rule only applies if an effort/attempt was made before tag-in to have the animal castrated and/or dehorned. If no effort was made, the animal is automatically disqualified. Male goats must be castrated by the May tag-in/check-in date. Any sac must be HEALING AND DRY to the touch and approved by the fair veterinarian. For 2020, castration must be completely healed by the time of tag-in/check-in or the animal will be disqualified from participating in the 2020 Clermont County Fair. Championship Drive 1. If an exhibitor wishes to pull an animal from the Championship Drive, in their respective show, they will forfeit all premiums and awards for that animal. These awards will be given to the animal placing next in the original class, and that animal will then be eligible to compete for further honors. 2. The Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion market steer, market Iamb, market goat, market hog must sell, and they will be terminal. All eight of these animals are required to be slaughtered and the carcasses may be examined for any abnormalities or tampering immediately after the respective auction in which they sell at the Clermont County Fair. These animals will be sent directly to a facility approved by the Senior Fair Board. These animals are subject to state-mandated testing after the show, as per state law. Drug Use Notification Forms 1. Completed and signed drug use notification forms are due between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. the Thursday, Friday and Saturday before the fair begins in the Junior Fair Board office. Without these forms, animals cannot go across the scales. See the state rules for information about penalties. Forms will be available in the Junior Fair Board Office. Feed Verification Forms 1. Completed and signed feed verification forms for ruminant animals must be submitted to the Fair Veterinarian or designee at the fair weigh-in/check-in. Forms will be available in the Junior Fair Board office prior to the weigh-in/check-in. Grooming 1. Grooming of the Junior Fair project animal is an important part of the learning experience for the Junior Fair exhibitor. ALL JUNIOR FAIR LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO THEIR OWN GROOMING. However, if needed, Junior Fair exhibitors may have someone help with grooming. Exhibitors may be assisted by only the following listed individuals: Parents, brothers, sisters, legal guardians, grandparents, currently registered Clermont County 4-H club advisors, FFA advisor and current Clermont County Junior Fair exhibitors. The Junior Fair exhibitor being assisted must be present when assistance is being given. Assistance is interpreted as the actual touching of the animal. People, other than those listed, may give verbal directions, but may not touch the animal in any way. 2. Tampering and/or misrepresentation as to the breeding, age, ownership and any 84 - 2019 CLERMONT COUNTY FAIR
other irregularity in showing will be considered fraud and deception. Any artificial means of removing or remedying the physical defects of conformation in exhibition livestock, such as lifting and filling under the skin, use of string, artificial heels, addition of hair, etc., will be considered fraud and deception. The use of an artificial tail head or altering the natural coloring of an animal shall be prohibited. The use of any means of inhumane artificial stimulation will not be permitted. All animals showing evidence of such treatment will be barred from competition and sale. Exhibitors may NOT use natural coloring, i.e. red on red or white on white, from the hocks down; see the state rule OAC 901-19-33. 3. Fraud or deception shall constitute a major offense. Should fraud or deception be discovered before the show, the animal(s) will not be permitted to show and the exhibitor will be barred from showing at the Clermont County Fair for the next two years. Should fraud or deception be discovered after the animal(s) have shown and prior to the sale, said animal(s) will not be permitted to sell, all premiums and awards will be forfeited, and the exhibitor will not be permitted to show at the Clermont County Fair for the next two years. If possible, the animals placing next in line will be moved up. Should violations be discovered after the sale, all prizes and awards will be forfeited, all money shall be returned to the buyer, and the exhibitor will not be allowed to show at the Clermont County Fair for the next two years. If applicable, the carcass will be returned to the exhibitor unless the carcass is condemned. 4. Exhibitors barred from showing at the Ohio State Fair will not be permitted to exhibit at the Clermont County Fair for the same amount of time barred from the Ohio State Fair. 5. Animals suspected to have had substances administered to change the conformation and/or temperament of the animal may be subject to veterinary inspection while on the Clermont County Fairgrounds. Any market animals, including those sold through the fair sale, are subject to such tests at any time during the Clermont County Fair or during harvest. Health 1. All livestock must meet the inspection and health requirements of the state of Ohio and Clermont County. The official fair veterinarian may remove any sick, injured, contagious, infectious or diseased animal from the fairgrounds. 2. The fair veterinarian or Senior Fair Board vet designees will be present at pre-fair and fair tag-ins/check-ins/weigh-ins to check for proper castration, proper dehorning (except some goats, see goat rules for additional information) and health problems. The responsibility of the designees or fair veterinarian also is to inspect livestock for evidence of any contagious or infectious disease. Exhibitors may engage their own veterinarian for any usual consultation, diagnosis and treatment work. Duties beyond this will be at the discretion and decision of the fair veterinarian and Junior and Senior Fair Board department chairs. See castration section in General Livestock Rules for more information. 3. Feed verification forms for ruminant animals will be collected by the fair veterinarian or his designee at fair weigh-in/check-in. Drug use notification forms are due between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. in the Junior Fair Board office Thursday, Friday and Saturday before the fair begins. Forms are available in the Junior Fair Board office. Without the drug use notification forms and feed verification forms, completed and appropriately signed, animals cannot weigh-in, which means animals cannot be shown and/or sold. 4. If an animal should die while on the fairgrounds, it is the responsibility of the exhibitor to remove the animal from the fairgrounds within 3 hours. Mandatory Assuring Quality Care for Animals Training 1. Quality Assurance programs will be scheduled each year to discuss tampering, violations and other state rules. Previous year attendance does not apply; participants must attend a program each year they participate with market livestock at the fair. 2. Quality Assurance training must be completed by June 1st of each year to meet the Ohio Department of Agriculture minimum of “45 days prior to exhibition” requirement. 3. Youth who are between the ages of 12-14 or 15-18 as of January 1 of current year are eligible to take a test developed for their age level in either large or small animal. 4-H members who pass the test with 70 percent or higher will be exempt from the Quality Assurance requirement until they move to the next age bracket, or are no longer a Junior Fair market livestock exhibitor. 4. All exhibitors in market steers/large market heifers, feeder calves, market lambs, market hogs, market goats, lactating dairy cattle, lactating dairy goats, market poultry and meat rabbits are required to complete an approved Quality Assurance Program in an Ohio county. 5. FFA exhibitors may meet this qualification through their Agriculture Education coursework, providing the instructor is certified through Ohio Quality Assurance training guidelines and recorded with OSU Extension 4-H Animal Sciences as a qualified trainer. FFA advisors must hand in paperwork that lists the FFA class members who completed the requirements. 6. Exhibitors who attend a Quality Assurance program in another county must submit paperwork to the Ohio State University Extension Office no later than June 1 of the current year to prove attendance. If this paperwork is not submitted by June 1, the member will not be allowed to show at the fair. Pen Assignment Program 1. Stall, pen and cage reservations are due between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. the second Saturday in May in the JFB Office. 2. Exhibitors will be assigned to requested stalls, pens, and/or cages according to the requests made by exhibitors and club advisors. If two club members want to be side by side, they must state that on the pen reservation form. No exhibitors will be allowed a stall, pen and/or cage outside their club unless otherwise stated
on a reservation form, if room permits. 3. There will be no moving of pens once assigned, unless approved by Junior Fair Board specie consultants. 4. Empty pens will be reassigned by the Junior Fair Board. If exhibitors want their animals in one pen, they must submit one reservation request. For example, if two exhibitors raised their animals together and want them in the same pen, they need to state that on the reservation form. No members may submit two requests to use the second stall, pen and/or cage for tack. If this occurs, the stall, pen or cage will be relinquished to the Junior Fair Board for use at their discretion. 5. The assignments made will be permanently written on a diagram of the barns. These diagrams will be used at the end of the week to make sure each exhibitor cleans their stall, pen and/or cage. Moving pens may mean you are fined $50 because the exhibitor in the stall, pen and/or cage assigned to the original exhibitor did not clean up properly. Protests and Grievances 1. Protests and grievances relating to Junior Fair rule interpretation or other Junior Fair matters that occur during the fair should be brought in writing to the Junior Fair Board junior and adult consultants of the appropriate show or activity within one hour of the incident in question with a fee of $300 cash.

Exhibitors belonging to more than one organization must exhibit separate and different projects. Examples: Both hogs must be shown as either a 4-H project or an FFA project. An exhibitor may show steers in FFA and heifers in 4-H. 2. All Junior Fair exhibitors must make every effort to show their own animal. If in the case of exhibitor sickness, serious injury or an instance of two animals in the same class, another current Clermont County Junior Fair exhibitor may be asked to show an animal. The Junior Fair Board must be notified and permission must be granted by the Junior Fair Board junior and senior specie consultants prior to the class in question. 3. For the protection of all Junior Fair exhibitors and others, animals considered uncontrollable during the fair or in the show ring may be disqualified. That determination will be made by a judge and/or a specie junior and senior consultants and JFB co-coordinators. 4. No animal may be shown in both breeding and market classes. A decision about how the animal will be shown at the fair must be made at the pre-fair tag-in/checkin and cannot be changed later in the year. Showmanship General Showmanship Rules: 1. Animals used in showmanship classes must be the exhibitor’s own project exhibited in the Junior Fair of the current year. The exhibitor must use the same animal for the entire showmanship contest. These animals are housed at the fair the entire week. 2. Showmanship sign-up sheets are available in the Junior Fair Board office prior to the showmanship shows. Each exhibitor is responsible for signing themselves up for the showmanship contests.
3. Rabbits and chickens may sign up in the rabbit and chicken barns. 4.

Shared equines should be due to a hardship or mentoring less experienced youth. 11. Exhibitors with shared horses (leased or owned) may show both at the county fair but on different days. Horses will only compete with one exhibitor per day, with the exception of immediate family members (i.e. brothers and/or sisters.) 12.

Showing a 4-H member’s project in a class at a show is not considered training. However, if the project animal is shown by someone other than the 4-H member in an open or breed show within 30 days prior to the 4-H competition, the 4-H member must be present and must show the project in that show. Family members can ride a 4-Her’s project horse without the 4-H member being present within the 30-day limit as long as it is not a daily occurrence and is merely for pleasure (example: Trail riding with relatives or friends) and does not include training the horse for the show ring. 20.

not bring a CURRENT project and record book, for any reason, they will receive a zero for this station.

In animal classes, exhibitors will be awarded points based on their actual placing. 11. An exhibitor that is disqualified for any reason also will be disqualified from OEP for the same length of time. 12. The committee reserves the right to adjust rules to fit the needs of a successful and fair program. 13. Awards will be given according to the sponsorship money available.
