6 — 2014 Miami County Fair Premium List

2013 Fair Supporter Of The Year Mr. Bob Hunt has always held the belief that it is one thing to sell to a friend but it is far better to sell to a customer that becomes your friend. With any great business company, the most important sales tool you can have is your honest relationship with your customers and community.

Mr. Hunt has been in the aggregate business all his life. In fact, he was the third generation of his family to go into this business. Growing up his parents lived close to the gravel plant where his father worked and he would spend many a summers riding in a ready mix truck, dump truck, or on a dozer with his father. When he graduated from high school he went to work alongside his father and grandfather at Steiner’s Sand & Gravel in West Milton, Ohio. Hi father was very insistent that if he was going to work in this business he had to learn all aspects of it plus go to college.

He followed his instructions and drove ready mix trucks, dump trucks, operated heavy equipment and worked in the gravel plant with his grandfather. At the same time, he attended college where he received his Associate’s Degree from Sinclair Community College, a Bachelor’s Degree from Wright State University and did his post graduate study at the University of Dayton. His major was marketing with a minor in accounting but all through college he knew what he wanted to do for a living, his first love, the aggregate business as he saw the importance it played in everyone’s life. He can honestly say that in his 48 years of drawing a paycheck in this industry, it has been rewarding, challenging, and satisfying.

His current position as Sales Manager of

BOB HUNT

Specialty Products for Piqua Materials, where he has spent the last 25 years of his career, has actually been the most satisfying. He has been blessed not only to work for a great family owned business but to also meet and work with a lot of different great companies and people in and around the Miami County. Several years ago, the company was presented the possibility to work with the Miami County Fair Board. Piqua Materials Inc. is actually the oldest continuous operating quarry in Miami County, dating back to 1865, crushing and selling various stone sizes, agricultural lime and industrial fillers. Many of the products that are all too common for the farming community and by working with our local Fair

Board, afforded an excellent opportunity to show our dedication and involvement in Miami County.

Something they are quite proud of.

Two years ago after his son Tyler graduated from Milton Union High School he was undecided as to what major he should pick at The Ohio State University. Bob told him that he didn’t care what he did in life so long that he loved what he did.

Bob can honestly say that he does love what he does and the people that he has come in contact with. And he realizes that none of this would have ever happened if it were not from the support and backing of his employer, his parents, his wife Jill and his son Tyler.

10 — 2014 Miami County Fair Premium List The fall season in Miami County is a great time to be outside to enjoy the crisp air and for families to discover the many events taking place during this wonderful time of year.

With this in mind, the Miami County Agricultural Society will be hosting the Miami County Harvest Moon and Balloon Fest. This event will take place October 3, 4 & 5, 2014 at the Miami County Fairgrounds, and will feature a number of colorful Hot Air Balloons, as well as activities commemorating everything autumn.

So much is being planned for this event. For children, we will have horse-drawn wagon rides out to a makeshift pumpkin patch where kids can select their very own pumpkin, to carve or decorate. Release some energy by climbing our Rock Wall, play in a bouncing Carousal or be challenged by running through an obstacle course.

WACO Air Museum representatives will be out one day to help kids build their very own kite….then send your kite soaring! Inspiring small

artists can help paint a banner or perhaps join in the fun and sign up for our famous Kiddie Tractor Pulls.

Other activities will include Pony Rides, a visit from the Columbus Zoo animals, and FREE Kiddie Rides all weekend!

Of course, we’ve planned for the adults as well. Enjoy the putt putt golf course with the entire family or simply tempt your taste buds and visit the food vendors that will be available offering delicious options. There will

be plenty of musical entertainment to enjoy throughout the entire weekend and our ever popular Beer Garden will be open. And for those car enthusiasts, visit with the Piqua Antique Car Club or Miami Valley Cruzers.

And our featured entertainment during the entire weekend will be ten (10) Hot Air Balloons that will be launching to and from the infield and will also glow Friday and Saturday evening. Tethered balloon rides will also be available for $10 per person!!

The admission price will be $5.00 per person. Children 12 and under will be admitted free. RV camping is available by contacting the fairground office at 937-335-7492.

The event organizers are looking for volunteers to assist throughout the weekend and are also in need of sponsors from the community.

Interested parties should contact the fair office at 937-335-7492.

Mark your calendars for October 3rd, 4th, and 5th and help us make the Harvest Moon & Balloon Fest a huge success!!!

recycling at the fair!

While you’re at the Miami County Fair this year, remember to recycle your empty plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Just look for the recycling containers throughout the midway and around the buildings.

Why should you recycle?

• Recycling conserves our valuable natural resources.

• Recycling saves energy.

• Recycling saves clean air and clean water.

•Recycling saves landfill space.

•Recycling can save money and create jobs.

Last year, about a ton of materials was recycled. This year, let’s break that record!

This is for the safety of all involved.

Burton Brothers Amusements is aptly named for the four sons of Roger and Janice Jessop Burton; Bradd, Benjamin, Bryce and Brent, who are all in business as owners with their parents. The 30 ride company carries a multitude of family games. Each member of the Burton family is also owner of independent ride and food services. The entire family has been raised in the carnival industry and are 5th generation concessionaires. The four Burton Brothers grew up on the family farm in Henry County, Indiana and were active in 4-H, as their parents were active 4-H leaders, providing a solid understanding of the rural aspects of county fairs and festivals.

They all continued as adults in the concession business, buying independent rides until they combined all their knowledge into the carnival amusement ride service with a solid reputation. Our company is based on loyal, close family values and principles.

Safety at Burton Brothers Amusements is a top priority. Prior to opening, each piece of equipment is carefully inspected by a skilled midway manager and a ride superintendent using an inspection checklist.

Each winter, we work extensively repairing, repainting and refurbishing our equipment at our full service winter quarters facility in Shirley, Indiana. Each member of our family is certified NAARSO safety inspectors.

Entertainment the broken lights The road to success hasn’t been a long and winding one for The Broken Lights. In just over two years, the three-piece group has matured into a seasoned concert band, performing at such venues as The Mad Frog in Cincinnati, The Agora in Cleveland, and McGuffy’s House of Rock and Canal Street Tavern in Dayton.

The Broken Lights’ mix of originals and classic rock and blues covers has drawn good reviews everywhere they’ve played. Now, with the March 15, 2013 release of their first CD -- the self-titled The Broken Lights -- the band has demonstrated the ability to bring its live energy into the recording studio. Don Thrasher of Active Dayton called The Broken Lights’ CD, “ a cohesive blast of bluesrock that draws inspiration from bands from the past while managing to sound completely contemporary.”

The CD consists of ten original songs written by the band members: Tyler Cochran (guitar and vocals, age 20, Vandalia, Ohio), Andy Uzzel (bass, age 17, Tipp City, Ohio), and Zach Grove (drums, age 19, Vandalia, Ohio).

For more information on The Broken Lights, please visit the band’s official website at www.thebrokenlights. com.

spittin’ image Identical twin brothers who love to sing and play their instruments as much as they love to entertain an audience.

Intertwining wonderful vocal ability with excellent musicianship, and mixing it all with comedy, audience participation, and a high energy show. Top 40 and classic country mixed with classic rock and roll is the music they love to perform. But, the twins also enjoy singing gospel and pop standards from the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.

Blain and Brian Swabb were born and raised, and still live in Greenville, Ohio, Darke County. They started picking their instruments at a young age, and by the time they turned 13 years old the twins formed their first group. At 14 years old they were performing most weekends. After graduating from high school, the two traveled the Midwest playing the hotel and resort circuit. After 8 years on the road, they came back to their hometown to own, operate, and perform in their nightclub, My Brother’s Place”, which they had for 15 years. In 1998, the twins went back out on the road, and now average over 500 shows per year. They cover most of Ohio and surrounding states.

Spittin’ Image are two of the most versatile, fun-loving, enthusiastic performers you’ve ever seen. With extensive and outstanding musical skills and a terrific variety of fine-tuned comedy routines, Spittin’ Image will surprise and delight your audience. Brian does most of the lead vocals and also adds the harmony to the sound. He is a wonderful guitar player and probably knows a million chords. Besides sequencing all the added background instrumentation ( drums, bass, piano, etc…), he is the emcee for the group. Blain is the oldest twin (by 26 minutes). He can play the heck out of his Gibson 8-string mandolin, but is equally at home on his custom made 5-string mandolin. When he’s not playing the mandolin he is playing his harmonicas or adding his vocal talents. He also has a love of doing pantomimes.

Entertainment rum river blend Rum River Blend, based in Troy, Ohio bill themselves as ‘Unprofessional Entertainment’! The band takes its name from the Rum River that flows through Linda’s hometown of Milaca, Minnesota. They perform a blend of traditional bluegrass, folk, Gospel and children’s songs. The audience is encouraged to join in on the fun as kazoos, spoons, washboards, and various other noise making instruments are often passed out to the crowd.

Linda Tatarian, the ‘leader of the band’ plays 5-string banjo and sings like a good Minnesotan should. Chris Tatarian plays rhythm guitar and sings back-up vocals in a California style that only he knows. Chris and Linda are the “roots” of Rum River Blend and have played together since 1992. After moving to Ohio in 2000, they have played with a variety of talented musicians.

The bass beat for the band is provided by Mr. ’Smiling’ Bill Benning, playing acoustic/electric bass guitar. Bill plays with a flair developed over time playing a wide variety of musical types with many different bands. Mr. Carl Phillis joins us on fiddle.

MIKE HEMMELGARN

Mike has been fascinated with the art of ventriloquism since the age of eight and juggling since the age of sixteen. He went door-to-door selling newspaper subscriptions to earn enough money to purchase his first “dummy”, a hard wood puppet named “Bob”. Bob is now in retirement and Mike uses mostly sculpted foam and latex puppets. He first learned to juggle with tennis balls and has evolved to bowling balls, knives, machetes, torches and other ridiculous things! Finally, magic and balloon sculpting were incorporated to compliment one of the most unique acts in the business. Since graduating from Wright-State University in Dayton, OH. Mike has performed at thousands of Corporate Events, Schools, Libraries, Fairs & Festivals, and Theatres. Mike, his lovely (and very fortunate) wife, and three children happily reside in Springboro, OH.

Entertainment Troy, OH…The Miami County Agricultural Society and the Troy Foundation is delighted to announce on the evening of Saturday August 9, 2014 an all star line up of country talent. Chase Rice with special guest Sam Hunt and Clark Manson are sure to bring you an eve-

Birmingham - Sam made the move to Nashville to try his hand at songwriting.

Shortly after settling into the Nashville scene, he was given the opportunity to write full-time for a publisher. Using the work ethic and discipline he accrued as a ball player, Sam began to develop his craft

swag with Mid-Western country charm to create a dynamite musical concoction that explodes with poppy melodies and rocking guitars. Matt Gross, Entertainment Chair of the Miami County Fair states, “This will be a very high energy show featuring Headlining Star Chase Rice, up and comer

ning of star studded entertainment.

and quickly gained recognition as a gifted songwriter.

Sam made a name for himself in the country music community co-writing Kenny Chesney’s #1 single “Come Over”, as well as upcoming singles “Cop Car”/Keith Urban and “We Are Tonight”/Billy Currington.

He is currently writing/recording songs for his debut album - due out in 2014.

Sam’s sound owes its roots to country music but has an eclectic style that’s based on pop, urban, folk and R&B influences.

Sam Hunt and a very popular Home Grown Entertainer, Clark Manson. Their combined sounds will most definitely resonate with fair goers.”

Singer/songwriter Chase Rice has applied the words of his high school football coach, Bobby Poss, in a series of accomplishments that others merely contemplate – he’s been the starting linebacker for the University of North Carolina; a member of a NASCAR pit crew; a touring artist who sold out strings of venues across the country without a record company, a manager or a song on the radio; and a co-writer of a record-setting, many-times multi-platinum single, Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise.”

There are few Nashville artists who can match Rice for his drive, his relentless energy and his confidence. And even fewer who are positioned as well to succeed.

Sam Hunt is quickly becoming one of Nashville’s most talked about young talents. After finishing his football career as quarterback for the University of Alabama

Growing up in small town, Covington, Ohio, Clark Manson wanted nothing more than to become not only a country singer, but a songwriter as well. From the start, Clark Manson was hot, winning the Newport Music Hall Battle of the Bands, advancing to the Texaco Country Showdown State Final, playing the Indiana State Fair… and so it began.

Clark has a nice blend of classic rock

Tickets will be available beginning Saturday April 5th by calling 937.335.7492 or going on line at www.miamicountyohiofair.com or in person at the fair office Monday through Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Ticket prices are $ 12.00 stadium and $ 20.00 track.

If you have questions please contact one of the show chairs.

Accessory: Anything used in an arrangement that is not plant material, the container, or the mechanics.

For good proportion and scale, the accessory must be integrated in design and be 40% of the design height.

Armature: This design is a three-dimensional creative design, featuring a skeleton network of horizontal and/or vertical parallel lines, bars, etc. to form a gird.

The armature is the grid on which the design is created and may be composed of one type of man-made or plant material (e.g. bamboo canes, chicken wire, framework of flower stems or twigs, etc.) The armature is used as a foundation and must remain dominant after other components are added. The armature can be selfsupporting or put into a container.

Creative Vertical: A creative vertical is a creative line or line-mass design in which the dominant thrust is vertical. There may be more than one point of emergence and more than one focal area if it does not destroy the vertical thrust.

Diagonal: This design includes, either creative or traditional, a line that moves from one corner to the other. It can go from upper left to lower right or lower left to upper right. The eye should move from one “corner” to the other. The emphasis is on the line that the eye follows. The line is created using flowers, foliage, and line material.

Reversed Diagonal Design: This creative design has a strong diagonal line of material that reverses upon itself at the top and comes back toward the beginning.

However, it remains open at the bottom, does not end in the container, and is long enough to show parallelism.

The diagonal line is placed in a position that shows force and is used as a visual counterbalance, because alone it will lack visual balance. Additional plant material at the focal point should not be static, but have motion in the opposite direction to complete the balance.

The diagonal line is of the same material for its entirety. It does not have to be one piece, but may be of attached pieces. It may be of plant material or man-made material (strong vines, wired rope, curved branches, etc…)

Other plant material should not interrupt the form of the diagonal. The force of the diagonal line is stronger than the space formed within. The color of the diagonal and the container should be similar to avoid sharp contrast and imbalance.

The ending diagonal line may be longer than the beginning point, or even touch the table, but may not end in the container. The enclosed space is at the top.

The design resembles three-fourths of an elongated oval.

Diagonal - Spatial Trust Design: “A Spatial Thrust design is a creative design with a dominate volume of empty space defined by two strong, straight, parallel placements of identical plant or man-made materials.

The thrust may be vertical, diagonal or horizontal. The space is equal distant from start to the end between the parallel lines. One parallel line may be slightly longer than the other. Different lengths avoid monotony and balance problems. This is not a Parallel Design! The design may be in one or more containers. Plant material is added on right or left or both sides or base of the spatial thrust to embellish the space, but not in between the parallel lines. It is not necessary for the plant material to be identical on both sides. Space is the thrust and is what creates the design. Open area created by parallel placement of lines is void of any type of material.

Dried Design: This design may be traditional or creative. The design should be free of dust, tears, mildew and blemishes. Dried materials are plant materials that were living at one time and now dried by various methods. Dried material may not be artificially colored in traditional designs. Examples: glycerinated and skeletonized material, weathered wood, driftwood, and dried branches.

Illuminary: An illuminary design is a creative design incorporating light(s) as one of the components. The lighting must be an integral part of the design, not something added for the sole purpose of including lights.

Mechanics of special lighting, such as wires, batteries, etc… must be concealed or be an integral part of the design. Emphasis is placed on color, pattern and balance. Design may or may not be abstract.

Line-Mass: An arrangement in which line and mass are important to the design. This is the design we see most frequently in American traditional design.

Mass Arrangement: Arrangements in which a large mass of flowers is emphasized rather than the individual flower heads. It always has a fullness and minimum voids. Mass arrangements may be traditional or modern.

Miniature Designs: Miniature designs are small scale designs in which the schedule states the size. A miniature design is not to exceed 5 or 3 inches in any one direction (check the schedule for size).

Emphasis is on simplicity of numbers, kinds of materials and use of color. A bloom should be no larger than 1/3 the size of the container or 1/3 the size of the design.

Miniature and Small Arrangements: Proportion and scale are the most important principles of design to be considered. No single flower should be larger than onethird of the size of the container. The height of the container should be one-third the height of the arrangement.

Modern: A departure from traditional and historic period pieces. Modern designs include abstract and free style using bold lines and forms.

Multi-Rhythmic Design: The design is primarily concerned with the design element of LINE. The rhyth-

2014 miami county flower show

mic movement in the design might be straight, angled, rectangular, zigzagged, curved, circular, oval, spiral, arching, u-shaped, etc. Each is a separate rhythmic movement. Rhythmic movement may be either continuous, interrupted, or a combination of both. Each rhythm is not necessarily limited to one material. One material, such as ting-ting, may have two rhythmic patterns. Avoid confusing lines and unnecessary filler or transitional materials. Clarity of each rhythm is of vital importance.

Oriental Manner: These designs do not follow the strict patterns of traditional oriental arrangements, but still possess a clearly defined asymmetrical triangle and restrained simplicity. The linear design is very important and the design must be three-dimensional with height, width, and depth, following the tri-dimensional placement of Heaven, Man and Earth lines.

Panel Design: A 3-D Creative Design, self-supporting or suspended, in which a panel/s, plant and other (optional) components are used. If self-supporting, the overall design is placed independent of the background.

It is not a Creative Plaque or Panel Assemblage. A base, container/s or other devices may provide support for the panel, but are rarely considered to be the panel.

Panel Component/s are structural and an integral part of the design. They may be of any material, shape or form, natural or man-made, solid or transparent, or any combination. Structurally, the panel must have a dominance of surface quality, not merely enclosed space. The shape or form of the panel is primarily flat and two0-dimensional (a shape), yet the designer has freedom to cut, bend, weave, depress, etc.

Reflective Design: This creative design contains some components to involve the viewer through the use of reflection. It is not a design placed in front of a mirror.

Brilliant light is important on this design. As not much plant material is reflective, the reflection must come from the container or incorporated materials. Shiny containers made of metal, mylar, mirrors, brass, silver or gleaming b lack can be used; or convex or concave items, mylar pieces and small mirrors placed into the design.

The creative part is the reflective, not the reverse. There must be reflected images transmitted back to the viewer.

One or more of the components must reflect light, motion or image and involve the viewer in some manner.

Rhythm: The feeling of motion enabling the eye to travel easily through all the details of the design. Rhythm can be achieved by curving lines, graduation of size and color values, or repetition of line, form, and color.

Satellitic Design is a creative design with a smaller design of the same color, form and /or texture placed near its base, having a curving connective line that becomes a vital part of its rhythmic pattern. The main, or large design, should be placed in a tall, creative container with the dominance of plant materials rising from the top of the container. The connecting line of plant or man-made material MUST be placed IN OR NEAR the container’s top, extending down in a CURVING line to a smaller container or object placed near the base of the main design Showing Motion: A design showing motion uses curves of line material, placement of flowers and/or foliage to provide a feeling of movement. The design can be traditional or creative depending upon the design elements and principles used in the formation of the design.

Circles sometime imply motion especially if they are not static. Diagonal lines can appear as movement in some cases. Actual movement within the design can also show motion, as a mobile.

Showing Water: A design that shows water can be traditional or creative. The water can be open, as in an Oriental design, or within a container, as in an underwater design. It is not a design where a clear container is used and the water line is visible from the side such as a stemmed rose in a clear bud vase.

Spiral Design: a creative design with a spiral coming down and around a strong vertical axis and may or may not be anchored into a container, with plant material added within the confines of the spiral to enhance it. The container should be vertical to establish the line. The spiraling portion may be of plant or man-made material. The spiral penetrates space. The flowers or other

plant material should be kept low and must be inside the spiral, and not overpowering it. DO NOT add more plant material onto the spiral other than the original. The designer could anchor the spiral into the container or leave it out to penetrate space Still Life: This design is a grouping of plant materials and other components by which a story is told or a theme interpreted, more by the objects used than by the choice of plant materials. The objects are chosen for their color, form, texture, size and their helpfulness in the design or in conveying a mood, feeling or message of the theme. Miniature figures as such are not found in a Still Life. The objects are actual size and true to their function. The emphasis in a Still Life is on objects; the plant material is often subordinate. The objects should be placed according to the principles of design, including depth and a correct disposition of space. Each object reacts upon and influences all the others. Fruit, flowers, and foliage are not restricted to the container as in the traditional flower arrangement but may be laid out in related groupings of varying heights and color value. A completed floral design is never found in a Still Life. A design with one or more accessories is not a Still Life.

A Still Life can be staged in a niche or on a portion of a table and is realistic in feeling.

A Still Life must not be confused with an assemblage in a niche.

Characteristics of a Still Life; 1. Utilitarian objects do NOT lose their identity.

They are still recognizable.

2. More objects than plant material.

3. NOT ABSTRACT! 4. Never a completed floral design.

5. Has a focal point.

6. Items are related through feelings or emotions 7. The objects are seldom merge into single unit.

They are integrated as groups and retain their individuality.

Synergistic Design is a creative design. A grouping of plant materials, containers and/or other components sharing common characteristics designed to create an artistic whole.”

Synergistic Design: There are two types of synergistic designs 1. those in single containers.

2. containers connected by line material.

Each component adds to the development of a unified unit. Each individual unit is unified by color, form, repetition, or through plant material. Three or more containers are required and the space or number of containers is controlled by the space allotted. A connective line MAY be used between the containers or the development of each unit may unify the group with a pleasing rhythmic flow. As the design is creative, the staging may vary. The design may be staged flat on a table, may be attached to the background, arranged vertically; some of the containers may be elevated, etc. When finished, the individual units contribute to a unified whole (like pieces of a puzzle, each component contribute to the finished project.)

Each must be a creative design, not traditional designs in a group. Each unit does not have to be a complete design, but may be. Line material may be used as a connective running from one container to another, creating a solid, defined pattern of line.

Type 1. Single Containers - Individual creative designs are arranged in separate containers, (limit the kinds and colors of materials to no more than three.)

Basically one type of line material, one type of flower and one type of foliage is suggested. Then the partial or completed designs are placed close together, farther apart, etc., until a pleasing design is completed. Each individual design unit should be different; one might be vertical, one horizontal, and one contrasting in direction, etc., so when placed together each adds to the unified and completed whole.

Type 2. Containers connected - Place all the containers in the area to be used for the design. Use line material as a connective, running from one container to another, creating a solid defined pattern of line. Then add flowers and foliage to each container as needed to

complete the design.

Characteristics of a Synergistic Design 1. 3 or more containers.

2. Grouped because of a common ‘oneness’ through repetition.

3. Each individual unit must be creative, not traditional and each should be different 4. Containers may be on one plane (flat on the table) or some on bases (in character to container) or vertically in a frame or on a post, etc.

Containers may be staged separately or connected by line material.

Usually three types of material (for restraint) one type line material one type flower one type foliage There must be unity and connectives used in the total effect, containers and flowers should blend in color and texture. The right colored background will help.

Anything can be used for the containers or the selected plant materials. REMEMBER, this is a creative design.

Two-Container Design: A two container design may be traditional or creative. A traditional two container design would follow the traditional rules of placement.

The containers would be similar and linked by the choice of flower, foliage and line materials used. In the traditional two container design the individual designs require the other to be complete. Creative two container designs might include satellitic or stretch designs.

Stretch design is a creative design using two similar containers where one is smaller and appears to have been pulled away from the other by tension using a connective line of STRAIGHT line material.

Traditional: Classified as line, mass, and massedline arrangement, with geometric pattern. Line mass can be vertical, horizontal, crescent, Hogarth curve, or asymmetrical triangle.

Transparency Design is a creative incorporation of a material of “see through” quality placed into the design, in front of part or parts of the whole to give the illusion of depth and space beyond.”

The planes and forms overlap, giving the illusion of depth and space beyond.

The object of the incorporated material is to break the line of color in the design and force the viewer to look THROUGH the material to see beyond.

The incorporated material may be one of three kinds 1. Plant material, such as - baby’s breath, split leaves, branches, skeletonized leaves, etc.

2. Animal material, such as - sea fan, coral, sponges, etc.

3. Man-made materials, such as, acrylic, glass, mesh, screen, open-weave fabric, grill work, etc.

In addition lights from different angles may be added to the effect.

Characteristics of a Transparency Design: 1. Incorporation of a “see-through” material into the creative design.

2. Great 3 dimensional effect.

3. Illusion of depth and space beyond where viewer is looking.

4. “See-through” material breaks line of color.

Underwater Arrangement: An Underwater design is a creative design, with part or parts placed underwater to create interest. Water magnifies the materials, creating an element of interest and surprise, so scale must be given consideration when selecting plant materials. : has an overall appearance of power and strength. The vertical style most often requires a focal point either near the top of the arrangement or the rim. In a true vertical design, the materials used will remain within the width of the container and very seldom will it extend beyond the sides. The finished product will be a tall floral arrangement. A vertical arrangement is one that carries the eye top to bottom like a column. It can be compact or wider, but the concept is that the eye travels up and down and not side to side.

6 easy steps for you to buy a miami county junior fair animal The Sale Will Be Conducted Using The Premium Bid System 1. Attend one, two or all of the livestock sales and place your own bid or contact a buyer to place your bid.

2. When you arrive at the livestock sale if not pre-registered, obtain a buyer’s number from the sale clerks in order to bid on the animal of your choice. Proper ID will be required.

3. When you spot an animal that you want to purchase, bid by contacting the ring man or holding up your buyer’s number. Prices are bid per lot. Some lots will consist of single animals and some lots will consist of multiple animals (such as pen of three rabbits, pen of two chickens, pen of two lambs). Each lot will receive one premium bid price.

4. The sale will be conducted using the Premium Bid system. If the buyer “trucks” the animal (turn the animal/meat over to the packer), the buyer pays the bid price. If the buyer “pens” the animal (keeps the animal/meat), the buyer pays the bid price plus the packer price.

5. BUYERS ARE REQUIRED TO PAY THE DAY OF SALE BY CASH, CHECK OR CREDIT CARD (VISA/ MASTERCARD). Invoices not paid by September 1, 2014 will be charged a $50.00 per month late fee.

6. Animals will be sold to the livestock packer if you are buying the animal for advertising purposes. Animals may go for custom slaughter or be taken home by the purchaser (EXCEPT SWINE) if you are buying the animal for personal use.

There will be no custom barrows. All barrows will be shipped to base bidder.

Junior Fair Livestock Buyers receive these important advertising benefits:

1. A listing of this year’s Miami County Junior Fair Livestock Sales Buyers appearing in next year’s Miami County Fair Premium Book.

2. Miami County Junior Livestock Buyers Sign displayed at next year’s Miami County Fair.

PREMIUM BIDDING SYSTEM The bidding will be per lot, rather than per pound which will allow you to know what you are paying without having to calculate a per pound total cost. Some lots will consist of single animals and some lots will consist of multiple animals, such as pen of three rabbits, pen of two chickens, and pen of two lambs.

Each lot will receive one premium price.

The market value of the animal will be determined and posted before the sale. The bidding will start at an amount ABOVE market value. As usual, the

buyer has two options with the animal/ meat once purchased… “PEN” the animal (means either the exhibitor keeps the animal/meat or the buyer keeps the animal/ meat) or “TRUCK” the animal (turn the animal/meat over to the packer).

If you decide to “PEN” the animal, you pay the “Total Price Buyer Pays” (which means you pay the market price plus the final premium bid) see chart below.

However if you decide to “TRUCK” the animal, you only have to pay the “Final Premium Bid” see chart below. NOTE: Rabbits and Chickens will not have a market value base bid so the “Final Premium Bid” is the “Total Price Buyer Pays.”

Also, there will be no custom barrows.

All barrows will be shipped to base bidder (packer).

“PEN” Animal Market Value Final Total Price

(Total Base Bid) Premium Bid Buyer Pays Market Lamb $85 + $300 = $385 Steer $900 + $500 = $1,400 Rabbits no value +$200 = $200 Market Goat $80 + $225 = $305 Chickens no value + $140 = $140 NOTE: If the buyer “PENS” (keeps the animal), it is the responsibility of the buyer to arrange for slaughter and trucking of the animal.

“TRUCK” Animal Market Value Final Total Price

(Total Base Bid) Premium Bid Buyer Pays Market Lamb Does not matter $300 $300 Steer Does not matter $500 $500 Rabbits Does not matter $200 $200 Market Goat Does not matter $225 $225 Chickens Does not matter $140 $140 **NOTE** Barrows are a terminal sale animal — Buyer will pay premium bid ONLY.
