Rule Changes

General Rules

-Liz Hubbard recommendations

Late Entry Recommendation

Current requirements of late entries:

Late entries cannot be paid online but rather have to meet the President or Secretary and pay by check, money order or etc. They cannot use their debit/credit cards to pay. Cost is 3 times the amount with a minimum of $10 per entry.

Recommendation:

Allow paying online, mailed in and postmarked by the entry deadline or in person. The rates would have to be updated on the entry website after the regular entry deadline to the late entry amounts. This would allow those who are entering late to still use their debit/credit cards and to not have to make arrangements to get the payments to the President or Secretary which can sometimes be difficult with all the activities that are going on.

Ownership Forms Recommendation

To do away with the Ownership Form that is required for Dairy Goats and Beef Heifers. Other than the “tattoo” for the Dairy Goats, the information requested on the form is also requested on the online entry. Papers are checked on the Dairy Goats and Heifers when the animals are checked in for the show, so ownership is checked at that time.

The tattoo information can be added to the online entry and this will eliminate the additional paperwork for the exhibitor, superintendent and secretary.

Native Entry Recommendation

All native entries are done at the time of weigh in and classification. That it not be done online. The native forms would still need to be signed and turned in with the weight/classification cards.

Reason:

Not everyone enters the native class on line. If they are allowed to enter at weigh in/classification time, it will be easier to know which animal is the native. The exhibitor will still be required to bring and turn in the Native forms signed by the exhibitor and the breeder.

-Todd Vineyard recommendations

Recommends county show entries be in house with advisors. This will help with face to face of 4-H and FFA members with advisors.

Recommends having department meetings following the show to discuss rule changes.

Recommends for 3 market animals per exhibitor per species.

Recommends showing females for market classes in the swine, sheep and goats.

-Colby Shawn recommendation

Current rule22. ANIMALS TO BE TESTED:

Grand & Reserve Champion SteerGrand & Reserve Champion LambGrand & Reserve Champion GoatGrand & Reserve Champion SwineGrand & Reserve BroilersGrand & Reserve Meat Pen RabbitsPLUS One at random from each division

Revision:Animals to be tested:The Wise County Youth Fair will conduct random Drug Tests. Announcements prior to the show will be made as to which animals will be tested. Wise County Youth Fair reserves the right to test any market animal entered for competition.

-Leslie Vann recommendation

Approve recommendation B. The proposal adjusts the sale slots for all live animal divisions eligible for sale slots. The proposal makes the sale more equitable for all species. The proposal does place an increase challenge for the buyer’s groups.

Premium Sale Recommendation

Host the Wise County Youth Fair Premium Sale at the Decatur Civic Center. Students would walk across stage and a photo of the student and their project would be projected on screen.

The facility would allow for an upscale atmosphere that would be more inviting to potential buyers and guests.

Students would be able to take their animals home the same day they show following the announcement of the Grand and Reserve Grand of their species.

Recommendation #2

No scholarship committee member or chairperson can participate in the selection process.

FCCLA & 4-H Departments

-Chelsea Reeves recommendation

Introduction of a New Category

*Add a food teemed category that would combine 4-H/FCCLA departments.*No age or level divisions. Just one open class*Theme will change each year and will relate to a food grown in Texas and possibly be a seasonal item for February-March*Separate judges*Find a cash sponsor/donor for the winner of the class*Will not be eligible for a sale slot*Entry types can be any of the 4-H/FCCLA categories except those that are not tasted. (Need to relist categories in the YF catalog)*We will develop a minimum to maximum size for the container that entry is presented in.

*Be displayed separately in the Women’s building from 4-H/FCCLA foods.*The entry should not be duplicated in the regular 4-H or FCCLA foods division. Ex. They should not enter in Theme division and 4-H candy class.*The class will be listed in both Departments so that we aren’t asking for an additional department be created. We just know that the display will be separate.

The FCCLA & 4-H “Go Texan” Division is open to any FCCLA member/Family & Consumer Science Student or 4-H Member. The ingredient for the 2019 Youth Fair will be ____________. Entries in the “Go Texan” Division must include a major component beyond flavoring of this ingredient.

4-H Departments

-Leslie Vann recommendation

To add a class to the 4-H Foods Department E, the new class would be a miscellaneous class. It would be a class for food entries that meet all the prior rules for entry but does not fit into a class already specified. There would be a Junior, Intermediate and Senior Division.

-Lorenda Hornsby, 4-H Arts & Crafts Supt.

1. Include the word “inches” in the dimensions. Page 53, #10 and #12 dimensions should read 32 inches high x 32 inches long x 32 inches wide. Also page 55, Metal Work class dimensions should read 32 inches x 32 inches x 32 inches.

2. More clarification needed in the Arts and Crafts rules to separate the Arts Section from the Craft section. Please insert subtitles Arts: Classes 1-27; Crafts: Classes 28-93

-Parent recommendation submitted by Tanya Davis

I would like the board to consider reducing the amount of categories in the Art and Craft divisions. This is to increase competition which then increases premiums. There are currently so many categories that most of those categories have no competition which results in a high number of 1st place winners and reduces the premiums across the board.For example to reduce Art categories the Wise County Youth Art Show has 3 categories in each Junior, Intermediate, and Senior divisions which are:2 dimensional (oil, acrylics, pastels, charcoal, etc.)3 dimensional (sculpture, ceramics, wood craft homemade, plaster of paris)Photography (but keep photography as is)***Kids can enter multiply pieces in each category at the Youth Art Show

An example to reduce craft categories would be:

Kit crafts (wood craft, models, lego, needlework/latch hook, leather, holiday, novelty, paint by number, etc.)Non-kit crafts (same as above, 4-H, scrapbook, jewelry, misc. collections, etc.)Textiles - made from woven cloth (quilts, pillows, decorated clothing, home accessories, etc.)Home Decor (wood, metal, holiday, recycle, flower arranging, etc.)

Also, Grands or Reserve to have the option to go to sale if they want to.

Public Speaking

-Leslie Vann, Decatur Buyers Recommendation

Judges must reside and be employed outside of Wise County.

Supt. /Asst. Supt. and volunteers may not participate in the selection process with judges.

Scoring should be done individually and sent to tabulation. In case of tie, judges should discuss privately.

Leslie Vann to be Public Speaking Supt. He is State FFA public speaking chairman and has many years’ experience.

-Chrissy Karrer recommendationRecommends naming Leslie Vann as Assistant Superintendent to the Public Speaking Division.

By Laws

-Advisors

The WCYF Advisors to the Board would like to recommend a change to the By Laws where our Executive Board would be a true Parliamentary board consisting of a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, a Treasurer and the General Superintendent. We feel like this would lighten the Burden on our Secretary and allow the Office to be open at all times during the youth fair show and sale. If a new treasurer is elected they would be allowed to vote and just be a volunteer like all the board members. If elected we recommend a full outside audit to the WCYF accounts before they are handed over to the new treasurer.

Respectfully,Steve Bradshaw, Todd Vineyard, Tanya Davis, Chelsea Reeves

Sandy Baker, Speed Horse Superintendent sent a letter of resignation. She recommends Venita Dearing for Speed Horse Superintendent.
