Merritt Herald Fall Fair 2023

Welcome to the 2023 Nicola Valley Fall Fair!

We are excited and pleased to be holding our annual Fall Fair in 2023. Holding the annual Nicola Valley Fall Fair is a massive undertaking and would not be possible without the many hours of work by innumerable volunteers. We welcome any and all who wish to volunteer, you can volunteer for one hour or endless hours like some of us do, come on out and meet some new friends and see how the Fair comes together.

We anticipate a bigger, better Fall Fair this year and look forward to seeing lots of new faces and many old friends. Be sure to check out the new categories we have this year and if there is a new category you would like to see please be sure to talk to our team, and we will have your suggestions put into next years catalogue.

We would like to thank our business community for your continued support through donations and special prizes for the fair. Our success depend on your continued support and we are thankful that we live in such a generous community.

We would like to thank our dedicated volunteers for soldiering on with our Giant yard Sales. We have been diligently working toward earning funds to have a washroom facility built. We have our drawings done now, with the help of funding for the TNRD, and they are currently out for bids. Our hope is to have shovels in the ground this fall.

We would also like to give a huge shout out to our community for your support through donations to our yard sales and showing up on weekends to purchase all the treasures we have to offer. We could never do it without you.

HINTS FOR EXHIBITORS

• First and foremost, if you are an exhibitor, be a good sport.

• Be on time with your exhibits. The criticism of the public for a show not opening on time is often aimed at the judges, when in fact, it is the fault of the late exhibitors.

• Follow the schedule explicitly. If the rules or schedule are not clear, obtain a ruling before the show, not after.

(Read the Schedule carefully).

• Do not blame the show committee if they fail to bring to your attention that you have entered the wrong number of specimens in a class. It is your responsibility, not theirs.

• Label your entry with the correct cultivar (variety) name even though the schedule may not ask for it. This adds to the educational value of the show.

Best Overall Potted Plant section "A"- $15 Cash - Sponsored by Century 21 Moving Real Estate Ltd

Best Artistic Display of a Single Bloom section "A" - $5 Cash - Sponsored by Century 21 Moving Real Estate Ltd

Rules

• All flowers must have been grown by the exhibitor with the exception of dried flowers, which may include wild flowers gathered and dried by the exhibitor.

• All cut flowers must be in plain jars in proportion to the size of the flowers. Stems should be the same length, if possible. If the flowers are a single variety, then the blooms should be approximately the same size.

Flower Section

• Potted plants must be shown in the pot they have been grown in for at least one year, with the exception of seasonal outdoor plants. Fancy pots or baskets are acceptable.

• Arrangements of dried or fresh flowers may be shown in pretty containers.

• Theme arrangements must be named and use mostly cut flowers and vegetation in the display with appropriate artificial objects, if desired.

• Only one entry per class.

• Tea Rose - is a large single bloom on a stem. Grandiflora - large rose - group on a single stem. Floribunda - usually has a spray of flowers at the end of a stem. To show it should be symmetrical from side & top view. Glads - Stem should be straight - bloom should be - Bottom 1/3 of stem fully open - middle 1/3 of stem half open - top 1/3 of stem closed buds. Blooms should be tight together up the stem so stem does not show - blooms should be evenly balanced on both sides of the stem.

• If at all possible, please bring flowers in your own jars and sized appropriately, ie: Glads and other tall flowers in carafes. We do have some jars.

• Try to get as long a stem as possible for showing roses, dahlias, glads, asters, etc. The longer the stem, the better they show.

• There should be no leaves appearing below the water line.

• If a class says 3 flowers, make sure there are no buds. A bud showing colour is considered a bloom and is then disqualified due to too many flowers. If picked at night before show, it has a great possibility of becoming partially open, ie: petunias, dahlias, asters, roses etc.

• All plants should be clean and tidy. No dead leaves or debris in the pot or on the plant. Please remove dust. Loosen soil with a fork.

• African Violets must be a single crown unless they belong to the trailing class.
