DEDICATION: Dan & Sandy McNeill
Each year, the Blaine County Fair Board pauses in their activities to acknowledge special efforts by special people by dedicating the fair premium book to a person, or persons, who have made significant contributions to assure a successful and continuing Blaine County Fair. This year’s honor belongs to Dan and Sandy McNeill. The two McNeill children always had horses and enjoyed riding. From the time Courtney was a little girl, she would take her horse to the local kids’ rodeo, which was the beginning of Dan and Sandy’s involvement with the Blaine County Kids’ Rodeo. They helped Jack and Helen Young with the rodeo, and when Jack and Helen retired, Dan and Sandy took over. They are in the process of turning the reins over to Courtney so that the family tradition of service can continue. The McNeills have earned this esteemed honor largely because for 35 years, they have provided leadership to the Blaine County Kids Rodeo Club, an organization to promote rodeo in a positive way. In addition, they have dedicated their time and talent to organizing and operating the Blaine County Kids Rodeo, which this year is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. According to Blaine County Fair Board Chairman, Don Richman, “What has impressed me the most about the McNeills is their dedication to the kids of Blaine County. Any time something needed to be done for the kids at the fair, Dan and Sandy were there with their outstanding dedication! They simplify my job because, in their capable hands, I never had to worry about the Blaine County Kids Rodeo; they just handled it.” According to the McNeills, “The greatest reward that comes with doing the Blaine County Kids’ Rodeo is seeing the joy that this rodeo brings to so many young people. Another reward is seeing many of our contestants going on to participate and find success in high school rodeo, college rodeo, Northern Rodeo Association, and the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit. It is also rewarding to see many of our former contestants come back as adults, bringing their own children to participate in the rodeo.” The McNeills wish to thank all the volunteers that have been faithful helpers to ensure that the rodeos ran smoothly. They extend gratitude to the individuals and businesses that each year have been sponsors of buckles and prizes for the contestants. Every rodeo also needs stock, and over the years many locals have furnished stock. “We wish to thank all of these individuals,” Sandy said. “The name of our rodeo is Blaine County Kids’ Rodeo, and you can see it is an appropriate name, as it takes many Blaine County residents to have made this rodeo so successful over the years. Thank you, Blaine County, for your years of support.”

The Blaine County Fair Foundation Blaine County Fair Foundation was established in 2016 as a nonprofit 501(c) (3) organization for community members and businesses to donate tax deductible contributions to support the Blaine County Fairgrounds, maintenance, and improvements, and to bring a quality county fair to the community each year. The foundation members include: Dale Williams, President, Dennis Kleinjan, VP, board members Mike Copenhaver, Don Richman, John Skoyen, Loren Skoyen, and secretary/treasurer Laura Kleinjan. The foundation is currently fundraising to erect a 100 x 200 square foot indoor event center, which can host a variety of events including barrel races, dog shows, car shows, bull sales, 4H and FFA events, just about anything really! The building materials are already on site, donated by a community member, and groundwork is in process. To date, over $50,000 has been raised through grants, business donations, and anonymous/ private donations. We hope to have the building up and running by year end. To donate toward this cause, mail check payable to BCFF, mail to P.O. Box 1207, Chinook, MT 59523, call or text 406-390-2651 for more information. ~42

DEPARTMENT “N” 4-H & FFA LIVESTOCK All 4-H/FFA Youth wishing to participate in this department MUST abide by all the pertinent rules listed in the “Blaine County 4-H Livestock Policy” as well as this Premium book. Only one entry per class- you may not enter two animals in the same class or enter the same animal in different classes.

Animal Check-in: Thursday, July 5th from 8
AM to 4 PM. Every animal exhibitor must check in when arriving with their animals and pick up their exhibitor packet. Along with your show number, other important information that should be reviewed carefully is in the packet. You will only receive ONE show number and one stall card per entry, so it will be your responsibility to keep track of them.

livestock exhibitors need to attend the exhibitors meeting Thursday of fair. Parents are encouraged to attend also. (Thursday, July 5th, 3:30 PM, Sale Barn)
Weigh-In: All Market exhibits must be

Check-in weights are final and will be used for the official “sale weight.” Each exhibitor is responsible for entering their own livestock. All beef and horses crossing a county line need to have a brand inspection before transport. Since Market Beef may be sent to out of county meat processers, ALL steers need to have a brand inspection at weight-in’s.

animal husbandry and scientific practices. In addition, adequate care, including watering, feeding, and comfort should be appropriately provided to all animals. Any individual treating an animal in any other manner may be asked to leave the grounds. Report any cases of animal neglect to the appropriate barn superintendent or County Extension Agent. Exhibitors, their parents, leaders, and instructors have a serious responsibility to follow USDA approved animal health practices to assure the meat customers are receiving wholesome food. Health aids and other approved products should be used with care, according to prescribed practices, only when needed, and in the correct amounts. Approved withdrawal times from health aids and growth stimulants must be followed. Animals that have not met these standards will not be allowed to sell during the fair. Growth enhancing drugs, such as Optafexx and Paylean, The fair management, including department superintendents, judges, and/or Extension staff have the right to call a veterinarian should a situation arise, and the cost will be the responsibility of the exhibitor.
SHOW RING CODE OF ETHICS
This code of ethics applies to anyone exhibiting animals at the Blaine County Fair; including 4-H & FFA as well as open class exhibitors. The Blaine County Livestock Committee has adopted the National Show Ring Code of Ethics as the guidelines governing the care, fitting, preparation, and showing of all classes of animals. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to obtain a copy, read, understand, and adhere to these rules. These rules can be obtained from the Blaine County Extension Office or their website at any time. The use of any illegal drugs is prohibited. Legal or illegal substances used to phenotypically alter the appearance of an animal entered in livestock events are prohibited. The use of illegal drugs, or purposeful misuse legal drugs is considered a pre-meditated act! The use of tranquilizers, sedatives, or depressants which alter the physical or physiological state of the animal is illegal. “ONE STRIKE” AND YOU’RE OUT POLICY! Possible civil penalties may be imposed by the proper authorities based on evidence provided by the livestock show of
exhibitors in violation of the federal food, drug and cosmetic act or the animal mistreatment, neglect and abandonment laws that apply on the local, state and national levels. Only 4-H/FFA members will be permitted to care for, fit, and show their animals. 4-H & FFA members may assist each other. Minimal assistance will be allowed by parents and other adults. Younger Junior members may require more help from adults, but older Junior members and Senior members should be able to care for, fit, and show their animals with minimal to no help. A Livestock Show Committee of five (5) individuals will be selected by the 4-H Livestock Committee to determine if an animal is unmanageable or if other serious infractions against the rules are made. The committee's purpose is to assist youth livestock exhibitors, enforce the rules and maintain order in the barns. The committee reserves the right to interpret rules and arbitrarily settle all differences and questions not adequately addressed by the above ethics and rules. Decisions of the Livestock Show Committee will be carried out by the county agent and/or the FFA Advisor(s). Reminder – If you cannot control your animal such that you physically lose control of the animal three times you and your animal will be disqualified from the Market Livestock Sale. Any member who is cited for other rule infractions will be put on the bottom of the sale order, unless sent home. Any violation of the "National Show Ring Code of Ethics" or other specific rules as designated by the Blaine County Fair shows will result in forfeiture of premiums and awards, disqualification, and may result in probationary status and/or loss of eligibility for future participation in organized livestock competition.
