2012 CONTENTS
WELCOME:
The Haskell County Fair Board would like to thank all those who have supported this endeavor. The fair board is extremely grateful to those individuals and groups who have volunteered their time, materials, ideas, services, and financial support and to those who enter or exhibit at the fair.
The fair board is excited about the county fair and hopes it will be a focal point for our community and a celebration that involves our entire county and the surrounding area. Plan to participate as an exhibitor or a spectator!
PURPOSE:
A properly conducted fair should and does result in increased production. No one factor does more to stimulate effort in the improvement in farm conditions than the county fair. It is there that the farmer has an opportunity to see and to compare his work with the efforts of others. Success in competing with one's neighbors stimulates the farmer to greater efforts.
It is the purpose of the Haskell County Fair Board to make this fair an educational institution and to encourage cooperation among farmers and business people in the various communities of the county.
LIABILITY OF EXHIBITORS AND GENERAL PUBLIC:
In no case shall the Haskell County Fair or any of its officers be responsible for damages in any loss, damage, injury, death or disability by disease or from theft or from any other cause to any such preperty, or to any person at the Haskell County Fairgrounds. The Haskell County Fair hereby refuses to assume any responsibility for the safety as bailee or otherwise, or any property brought upon the Haskell County Fairgrounds, said property being brought upon and kept upon said grounds at owner's risk.

The management reserves the right to exclude from the grounds any person or persons whom they deem undesirable, or expel from the grounds such person.
WATER FIGHT:
Anyone involved in the water fight, whether voluntarily or otherwise, may NOT physically force or dunk another person. Please use common sense and keep it under control. The Fair Association will not be responsible for any injuries or damages.

DEPARTMENT S - ENTOMOLOGY
Special Rules:
A 4-H member may exhibit in the collection and/or educational class for the phase in which they are enrolled.
The Advanced Entomology classes are for 4-H members enrolled in a Self Determined project.
All entries are to be placed in plexiglass covered (plexiglass required) wooden boxes with outside measurement of 18"x24"x3 1/2". Display boxes with glass covers WILL NOT be accepted. See the specific phase for box and specimen number limitations.
Each exhibitor is required to identify each box by placing an identification label bearing the exhibitor's name, county or district and the class. One label goes in the upper left corner of the box (inside) and the other on the back of the box (outside). Arrange specimens in the box so it can be displayed lengthwise.
The number of orders, specimens (and families, where required) must be included on the exhibitor's box identification label.
Arrangement of specimens: The preferred method is to arrange the insects in groups or rows parallel to the short sides of the box. Arrangements that run lengthwise of the box are frequently down-graded in judging. Specimens are to be arranged in the box according to Order. Begin with the more primitive orders first (Collembola) and follow the sequence used in Insects in Kansas, as revised in 2000.
For each collection class, two labels will be centered on the pin beneath each specimen. First (closest to the specimen) is the common name label and the second label is a date/locality label.
Emphasis in judging will be placed on the overall variety of Kansas insects represented in the collection, accuracy of identification, skill, and technique acquired in mounting of specimens, and overall arrangement and appearance of the collection.
Specimens of soft bodied insects such as aphids, lice, collembola, termites and etc. should be exhibited in alcohol filled vials; however, the use of alcohol filled vials should be limited to only those specimens that lose their shape when pinned, since the vials pose a significant hazard to the rest of the collection if they become loose in transit.
Champion and Reserve Champion will be awarded in Educational Exhibits; Beginning; Intermediate; and Advanced entomology if the exhibits are deserving.
Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion rosettes will be awarded if the judge considers the exhibits worthy.

Entrants may purchase or construct their own garment which should consist of at lest 60 percent wool exclusive of accessories. Entrants should select a garment or costume which will be most attractive and which will lend elegance to the class.
