Welcome to the 2024 Nicola Valley Fall Fair!

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 for endless hours - come 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 something you would like to see at the Fair, please be sure to talk to our team, we will have your suggestions added for next year. Be sure to come out on Saturday and Sunday to observe the many talents the community has to share through their exhibits.

We would like to thank our business community for your continued support through donations and special prizes for the fair. Our success depends on your continued support and we are thankful we live in such a generous community. We would like to thank our volunteers for carrying on with our Giant Yard Sales. We have been diligently working toward earning funds to have a washroom facility built. Our hope is to finally have some washrooms in place by the end of the year. We would like to give a huge shout out to our community for your support through donations and showing up to purchase our treasurers. 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).

• 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.

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.
