Lester and Carol Sluggett have been a ranching, agricultural, and rodeo minded team since they married June 2, 1962. Lester came from a farm/ranch that his fa-ther, Lester Sluggett, Sr. homesteaded in 1924, 30 miles south of Big Sandy near the Missouri River. His wife to be, Carol Henderson, grew up on her family ranch in the Bear Paw Mountains near the tiny town of Warrick. After they were mar-ried, Lester and Carol bought his dad’s Big Sandy ranch and ran it until 1972, when they purchased their current ranch 16 miles east of the Bohemian Corner. They packed up their four children, Levi, Lisa, Lana and Lari and headed south, moving all of their belongings in sever-al trips across the Missouri River Ferry at the Judith Landing (now served by the PN Bridge).

In 1975, their children Levi and Lisa enrolled in the 4-H events which in-cluded showing livestock. This sparked the family’s long involvement and com-mitment to the 4-H program and Central Montana Fair. Lana and Lari participated in later years when they were old enough, and Carol served as a 4-H Leader from 1975 to 1989. She spent countless hours volunteering at the fair, including cook-ing at the 4-H Food Booth and helping Lester and others with whatever needed to be done in the livestock barns. The kids successfully competed in several events for many years in the 4-H Horse Show and Open Horse Show.

Lester split his time between combining

and working at the fair with Carol and the kids, but he always made sure he attend-ed the cattle shows and the horse show-ing events. He helped during 4-H weigh-in, supported the livestock sales, cleaned barns, and hauled animals to the butcher shops for the kids and their families.

In 1982, Carol was encouraged by friends and family to enter the Central Montana Ranch Wife Competition at the Fair. It entailed milking a goat, plucking a chicken, identifying grains, backing a tractor and trailer into a parking space, and making a meal. She made a delicious meal of fresh taters and peas in a cream sauce and BBQ ribs, beating six other competitors for the Ranch Wife title.

Rodeo was also in the family blood. Carol laughs about how times have changed when she talks about her win as the National High School Finals Break-away Roping Champion in Douglas, Wy-oming with a 5.5 second run. Her kids had the bug too, and when they were old enough to enter High School Rodeo, the Sluggett family packed up and headed down the road. At the State Finals held in Malta around 1985, The Sluggett’s re-ceived a late night caller at their door. Re-nowned announcer, Stan Rasmussen, and his wife, Tootie, insisted that Carol help the next day with the timing as Tootie was short of help. The next morning, Carol ran to town and bought a long sleeved shirt, contributing to her long career as a timer and for high school and college rodeos, the Fair rodeo, and the Winnett and Roy rodeo. Her husband, Lester, worked the gate at most of the same rodeos.

In the 1990s, Lester and Carol began entering their mule teams in the driving team competitions. They had participat-ed in many wagon trains for years and were well versed in handling teams and wagons. They both drove the teams win-ning several championships at the Cen-tral Montana Fair over the years with their beautiful mules. Lester won titles for the Light Unicorn Hitch, Light 4-Horse Draft Hitch (mules), and Draft Mule Hitch. Car-ol, also a champion, won the Ladies Light Team Hitch in 1992 and 1994. Lester received the Best Teamster award more than once for keeping the barns and har-ness clean as well as helping others har-

ness their mules and horses. In 1992, the Sluggetts and others decid-

ed to rebuild the old, falling down arenas in Roy (the Sluggett’s have been predom-inantly involved in the Roy Rodeo) and the Central Montana Fairgrounds. They spent many hours tearing down, clean-ing up, and hauling away the old wood-en arena fence and chutes of days gone by. Accomplishing these tasks in addition to running a farm/ranch operation. They used pipe to build them; Lester put Car-ol to work grinding metal and the two of them welded up the arenas. In 1994, Levi and Lari entered the Central Montana Fair Rodeo in the newly constructed facility. Lari won the Bull Riding with a 76 point ride and Levi, after 4 re-rides, split the Saddle Bronc with a 75.

Sadly, on March 17, 1996, Lari died tragically in a bull riding accident in Camrose, Alberta, Canada. In 2015, Les-ter and Carol donated the new bucking chutes to the Central Montana Fair Rodeo Arena in memory and in honor of their beloved son.

The Sluggetts have been actively in-volved in the events and promotion of the 4-H, Open Horse Show, rodeos, and the Central Montana Fair for over 48 years. They have committed their time, financ-es, and energy for an incredibly long time span to ensure that the Central Montana Fair is a success and enjoyed by all who attend. Lester and Carol Sluggett are your Central Montana Fair Persons of the Year, a title to add to their long list of titles and accomplishments. Our hats are off to you, Lester and Carol Sluggett, the 2020 Cen-tral Montana Fair Persons of the Year!

Exhibitor Entry Dates:To better serve you, the exhibitors, the Needlework, Arts, Crafts and Hobbies, and Photography Departments are asking that en-try forms for these departments be turned into the Fairgrounds Office by 5 p.m. on July 10, 2020.

Judges:The Central Montana Fair uses the American or Competitive Sys-tem of Judging, which compares the entry in each class to each other and selects a 1st (Blue), 2nd (Red), and 3rd (White), in each class. The judges are instructed to award in each instance only prizes of such grades as the merits of the individual animal or article justifies. Absence of competition will not be accepted as justification for awarding a high-class prize to an animal or arti-cle of medium or inferior quality.

The decisions of awarding judges shall be final, and no appeal will be considered, except in cases of protest. Any exhibitor at-tempting to interfere with the adjudications will be promptly ex-cluded from competition. Any exhibitor who publicly expresses disapproval in the judging area, or openly disagrees with the decision of the judges, or who by act of interference, shall be guilty of conduct unbecoming an exhibitor shall be excluded from further competition.

Protest:***Any exhibitor lodging a protest must make it in writing and it must be delivered to the superintendent within 24 hours after the judging or the cause of protest will not be considered valid. It must state plainly the cause of complaint and must be accom-panied by a deposit of ten ($10) dollars, which sum may, upon the discretion of the Board, be forfeited to the Fergus County Fair if the protest is not substantiated. If said protest is substantiated, money will be forthwith returned to the protestant. This provi-sion shall not preclude the right of any Superintendent or Judge to bring any cause of fraud by an exhibitor before the Board for their consideration. In this case the Board reserves the right to act in the premises as fully and to the same extent as if an exhib-itor had filed a formal protest.

So that we all can enjoy the Fair:1. The Fergus County Fair Board reserves the right to change

its’ rules and regulations and to determine arbitrarily all matters and differences in regard thereto.

Exhibitors will not be eligible for more than one money prize or award in any one class in these departments. No two members of the same family may enter the same class number of any given division. Under the rule, an exhibitor is un-derstood to be the owner or tenant of the farm or garden and that only one exhibit will be eligible for entry or competition from such farm or garden in any one class. Exhibits must be selected from current year’s crops with the exception of seeds and grain sheaves, which may be from crop harvested after the preceding year’s fair.

Novice Category: Please indicate if this is your first year compet-ing in this department.

Hints to the Exhibitor: In judging threshed grains, the points most considered are purity, uniformity and fitness of the samples for the purpose of which the particular class of grain is used.

**Important** Be sure samples of grain and seed are cleaned. In sheaf samples of grains, the evidence of high yielding ability and the conditions of the same are regarded as important. Grain and seed sheaves are not judged on their forage qualities. Stems should be free of leaves. Forage exhibits are judged on their hay value. This means that the entire plant is considered. Proper curing and dry-ing which retains the leaves and color is essential in preparing a forage exhibit. All sheaves of grain forage crops and grass must be not less than 6” in circumference just below the bundle head, unless otherwise stated, and snuggly tied in at least three places, with the exception of forage exhibits, which may be tied in one to three places.

We wish to send a big THANK YOU to the individuals and businesses that generously donated these awards.

Hints to ExhibitorsFor more information on fruits and vegetables, please read the MSU Extension Office publication entitled Exhibiting Vegeta-bles and Fruits. Note that amounts, size, and individual prepara-tion of displays may differ. Use the information provided in the Central Montana Fair Book for display preparation. Condition, type and uniformity are three main things judges look for, and usually account for over 50% of the score.

CONDITION – includes the choice stage of maturity for intend-ed use, tenderness or toughness, size, cleanliness, freedom from damage, preparation of the exhibit and freedom from defects caused by insects or diseases, etc.

SIZE – is important to the extent that the specimen should be large enough to be usable.

TYPE – includes trueness in shape to variety and degree of roughness or smoothness.

UNIFORMITY – includes the factors of consistency in type, col-or, size and quality. The stem length for displaying fruits and vegetables will vary, but is a must for many specimens. Be sure to follow instructions. Careless harvesting can remove the stem and can also result in damage to the vegetables. All root vegetables (carrots, beets, turnips, etc.) must have the entire root left on. If vegetables are to be displayed effectively they MUST BE CLEAN. This is very important.

Entry Delivery: Entry Forms delivered with entry on entry day should be completed when checking in. Entry tags shall be filled out by the superintendent or clerks only. No others will be ac-cepted. Open class entries compete with booth entries. All en-tries for this Department will be taken on Tuesday, July 21, 2020 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.


Exhibit Release: All exhibits shall be checked out and released on Saturday, July 25 6 to 7 p.m. Exhibits may be picked up through August 7 at the Fair Office Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.


Department Rules, Regulations and Guidelines: Each exhibitor shall be allowed to make entries in as many classes as he wishes, but will not be allowed to make more than one entry in any one class. Exhibitors will not be eligible for more than one money prize or award in any one class in these departments. No two members of the same family may enter the same class number of any given division. Under the rule, an exhibitor is understood to be the owner or tenant of the farm or garden and that only one exhibit will be eligible for entry or competition from such farm or garden in any one class. Exhibits must be selected from cur-rent year’s crops with the exception of seeds and grain sheaves,

which may be from crop harvested after the preceding year’s fair. Exhibits will be awarded 1st, 2nd or 3rd place according to the merit of the exhibit. Only one first place will be awarded in any one class.

Hints to ExhibitorsFor more information on fruits and vegetables, please read the MSU Extension Office publication entitled Exhibiting Vegeta-bles and Fruits. Note that amounts, size, and individual prepara-tion of displays may differ. Use the information provided in the Central Montana Fair Book for display preparation. Condition, type and uniformity are three main things judges look for, and usually account for over 50% of the score.

CONDITION – includes the choice stage of maturity for intend-ed use, tenderness or toughness, size, cleanliness, freedom from damage, preparation of the exhibit and freedom from defects caused by insects or diseases, etc.

SIZE – is important to the extent that the specimen should be large enough to be usable.

TYPE – includes trueness in shape to variety and degree of roughness or smoothness.

UNIFORMITY – includes the factors of consistency in type, col-or, size and quality. The stem length for displaying fruits and vegetables will vary, but is a must for many specimens. Be sure to follow instructions. Careless harvesting can remove the stem and can also result in damage to the vegetables. All root vegetables (carrots, beets, turnips, etc.) must have the entire root left on. If vegetables are to be displayed effectively they MUST BE CLEAN. This is very important.


Awards:1st, 2nd & 3rd will be awarded in each class.Best of Division Rosettes will be awarded

Special Prizes and AwardsIn addition to the regular premiums paid, several special prizes will be given. The high point exhibitor points will be determined as follows: Blue-3 points, Red-2 points, White-1 point.

Division 9 – CanningCurrent USDA guidelines must be followed for all food pres-ervation entries. Preserves, jellies, pickles, canned fruits and vegetables, etc., must have been prepared during the last year and never before exhibited. All exhibits shall be delivered to the clerk of the foods department at the Agricultural Building on the fairgrounds. NOTE: Canned foods are presumed to be prepared in such a manner that they will not ferment for at least a reasonable length of time and if, in the opinion of the judge, such exhibits are not so prepared, they will not be permitted to compete. All canned, pickled, and soft spread entries MUST be labeled with contents, date processed, pro-cessing method (pressure or water bath), processing time, pounds of pressure used and type of pack (if relevant) or they will be disqualified. Keep brand of jar uncovered. Use only approved canning jars-no mayonnaise or salad dressing jars will be accepted. Cleanliness of jars is imperative - wash care-fully at home.

A jar without a new ring and seal will not be judged. The boiling water method is safe for canning fruits and pickles. Pressure canning is the only safe method of canning vegeta-bles. Tomatoes are to be pressure canned or if properly acid-ified with lemon juice or citric acid, they can be processed in the boiling water canner. All low acid foods should be pro-cessed in a pressure canner. All preserved food entries may be opened.

Awards: Winners in both the winter and spring wheat categories each receive $100 for 1st place, $50 for 2nd place, $25 for 3rd place and $10 for 4th place.

The Wheat Milling and Baking Competition gives area farmers the opportunity to have their wheat evaluated for commercial use, and to see the data and the loaf of bread that their wheat has produced. To enter the competition, producers need to enter a 3-4 lb., relatively clean sample of winter or spring wheat in an ice cream bucket, coffee can or paper bag supplied by your

commercial seed conditioner. The sample needs to be labeled with the producer’s name, address, and variety of wheat.

Producers have until the latter part of June to enter the sam-ples. A more specific time will be announced in the local me-dia. The samples are collected at that time and taken to the MSU-Bozeman Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, who pro-cess and analyze the samples. The samples are scored based on their Test Weight, Wheat Protein, Bake Absorption, Loaf Volume, and Crumb Score. Participants may enter in both categories and more than one entry is welcome, as long as they are of differ-ent varieties. Any and all grain producers are encouraged and welcome to participate. Entered wheat samples may be left at Clearview Seed in Denton, at the Fair Office in the Trade Center, or at the Fergus County Extension office in Lewistown.

Stock Trailers will need to be parked on the east side of the Pavilion near the highway fence when finished unloading.

Horse StallsPlease reserve horse stalls (for either horses or livestock) with the Central Montana Fairgrounds to avoid overlapping stall usage. Post your paid receipt to the front of the stall.

Please be respectful to those that have paid for camping spots and do not park trailers or tie horses in the campground.

Your camper and ONE vehicle may be parked in your camping space. Additional vehicles must be parked in the open area north of the campground. Please drive slowly and be considerate of those camping around you. No stock/horse trailers in the camp-ground. Camping spaces are reserved with the Central Montana Fairgrounds, 535-8841.

ADA Ac-cessible / Sr. Citizen parking on the east side of the pavilion may be accessed through Gate #5.

IMPORTANT – Stock and Horse Trailer, Livestock Exhibitor ParkingTrucks, trailers, and other livestock exhibitor vehicles are to be parked east of the pavilion area in an orderly fashion, and will be patrolled during the Central Montana Horse Show, Fair, and Rodeo. This will alleviate the congestion in the barn area. Parking next to the pavilion on the east side is reserved for handicap and seniors parking – no trailers. Do not park stock/horse trailers in the camp ground area. Overflow stock/horse trailer parking will be on the far north end of the fairgrounds, beyond the campground.

RANCH HORSE TRAIL (VERSATILITY TRAIL) i. The Ranch Horse Trail Class, as the name implies, tests

the horse’s ability to cope with situations encountered in everyday riding. The horse is ridden through a pattern of ob-stacles which should nearly approximate those found during the course of everyday work. The horse/rider team is judged on the correctness, efficiency, and pattern accuracy with which the obstacles are negotiated, and the attitude and mannerisms exhibited by the horse. Judging emphasis is on identifying the well-broke responsive, well-mannered horse which can correctly navigate and negotiate the course.

SCORING a. Each event will be scored individually. Scores will be

tabulated by the office to calculate cumulative scores. b. Judge’s decision is final. c. Horses are judged on performance only. d. A contestant is judged from the time the contestant enters

the arena until the run is finished. e. For Pleasure, Trail, Reining, Ranch Riding and Working

Cow Horse Classes: i. American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) Versa-

tility Ranch Horse (VRH) and Stock Horse of Texas (SHOT) score sheets will be used.

ii. Each horse/rider team is scored between 0-100 points and automatically begins the run with a score of 70 points. The horse/rider team is scored on the qual-ity of each maneuver (e.g., -1½ Extremely Poor, -1 Very Poor, -½ Poor, 0 Correct, +½ Good, +1 Very Good, and +1½ Excellent). Pluses and minuses re-flect the smoothness, finesse, attitude, quickness, and authority of the horse/rider team when performing the


59



various maneuvers. Penalties may be accrued for in-correct maneuver execution.

32. 18 & Under 33. 19 & Over

RANCH HORSE PLEASURE (RANCH RIDING) i. The Ranch Horse Pleasure Class measures the ability of the

horse to be a pleasure to ride while being used as a means of conveyance from one ranch task to another. The horse should be well-broke, relaxed, quiet, soft and cadenced at all gaits. The horse should be ridden on a relatively loose rein with light contact and without requiring undue restraint. The horse should be responsive to the rider and make timely transitions in a smooth and correct manner. The horse should be soft in the bridle and yield to contact. The ideal stock horse should have a natural, level head car-riage at each gait and shall travel with forward movement and demonstrate obvious length of stride in all gaits. The ideal is a natural ranch horse look from head to tail.

ii. The competitors may be asked to ride in a rail class or in an individual pattern or circuit of the ring to demonstrate a variety of gaits and transitions.
