TRI-COUNTY FAIR SPECIAL AWARDS

Frank Blum Memorial Senior Citizen Sweepstakes

The Frank Blum Memorial Award is presented by the Blum Family each year to the senior citizen

who has the most entries judged in the fair. The award is $100 and a special ribbon. Frank Blum, a resident

of Chalfant Valley, became blind later in life. After his wife Anna passed away in 1991, he sought for

something to fill his time. Gardening was his answer. Each year, preparing his entries for the fair was the

highlight of Frank’s summer. With the help of his family, he strove to enter more and more entries each

year, often as many as 85 or more. He never made it to 100 entries, but it always was his goal. All summer

long, his massive garden produced a huge variety of award-winning vegetables - and kept his children and

grandchildren drowning in home-grown garden goodness. Frank passed away in 2000. The day before he

passes, he was out in his garden, planting garlic in anticipation of the following year’s fair. The Blum

family remains an active part of the Bishop community. Thank you, Blum Family!

Eligibility to be eligible for the Frank Blum Memorial Sweepstakes, the exhibitor must be 65 years of age

or older and be on exhibitor at the 2020 Eastern Sierra Tri-County Fair. Please check the “Senior” Box

on your entry form and state your age.

The award is based on the following

1. The number of items entered and judged in all departments by one exhibitor, age 65 or older.

2. The total numbers of awards issued to that exhibitor. The

winner will be determined by a sweepstakes count.

Jim Tatum Memorial Green Thumb Award

Presented to Floricultural Entrant with the most ribbons in Potted Plants

Greg and Laura Smith and family want to continue to honor and remember the life of Jim Tatum

and how much of his life he gave to the Tri-County Fair and our whole Community! Along with his wife

Donna and their children, Jim dedicated 20 years of excellent service and unrivaled commitment to

the Tri-County Fair. Not only did the Fair event thrive during his time as CEO but the grass was never

greener or the flowers more beautiful on the entire Fairgrounds! Jim enjoyed sharing his love of

growing things with others. Many of us continue to reap the benefits of his green thumb through the

beautiful flowers and landscaping seen all around the City of Bishop!

The award is $100, a special ribbon and water can.

Elementary school classes are invited to enter their classroom projects in a new challenge for the 2021

Fair! This fine art challenge asks students to focus on CREATIVE REUSE, COLLABORATION, and

USE OF THE FAIR THEME to make a mural/picture or a free-standing sculpture to enter and display at

the Tri-County Fair Labor Day Weekend 2020. Creative Reuse is the process of transforming by-products,

waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials, products, or art!

Visit inyo.org/fairproject for all the details!

Including the Entry Form, Judging Rubric, Artists’ Statement Template, and creative reuse

resources.

Judging and Prizes:

• All entries will be judged using a Rubric (which is available online).

• The top-scoring artwork in each grade level will receive $200 for their teacher to spend on art supplies and

resources.

• The winner from each grade level will be featured in a special traveling exhibit.

Project Details:

• This Exhibit is open to class submissions from elementary school classes (K-6th grade).

• The artwork must fit in a 4’x4’ floor space (for a free-standing exhibit) or 4’x4’ wall space (hanging

mural/picture).

• The artwork must be a collaborative work.

• Entries must include an 8.5”x11” paper with the artwork’s Title, Artists, and Artists’ Statement briefly

until the Fair Labor Day Weekend when they will be put on display.

• Entry fee waived.

• Artworks will be judged on (rubric available at inyo.org/fairproject):

o Creative reuse of discarded materials: transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or

unwanted products into new materials, products, or art!

o Use of 2021 Tri-County Fair theme: the central focus of the artwork. Themes express the

intended lesson, conclusion, message, or point of view of the artists.

artwork individually.

▪ Elements of Art: line, color, value, shape, form, texture, and space.

▪ Principles of Design: balance, proportion, emphasis, rhythm and movement, pattern and

repetition, variety, harmony and unity, and contrast.

4-H EXHIBITOR AGE GROUPS

5-8 years old (Primary) 9-19 years old (Junior/Senior)

PREMIUMS PAID PER CLASS BY POINT SYSTEM

(Junior-Senior Division Only)

What is a point system? How much will each 4-H member receive in premiums? The 4-H Department will use a

point system for calculating premium payments. For example, a 4-H member enters a Pumpkin Pie in Division 711,

Class 4, and receives a 1st place ribbon. The 4-H member receives a total of 6 points. If the total number of points

for all exhibitors at the 4-H Department was 1,000, and the total premium money available for the year was $500,

then each point would be worth $0.50. The 4-H member with 6 points would then receive a premium check for

$3.00. Due to budget constraints and lower amounts of State Funding that is available, this point systems allows the

4-H Department to stay in budget while still awarding 4-H members for participation.

Point value to be determined by total number of points awarded. Based on the difficulty of making or growing a

particular item, the number of points earned may be different in each division. The value of each point is the same.

In all categories 3rd place will not receive any premium points, only a ribbon. Ribbons will be given to 1st, and 2nd

place winners in addition to the premium payout.

4-H Youth Development Programs are non-traditional voluntary educational programs operated under the auspices

of the University of California Cooperative Extension and the United States Department of Agriculture. Inyo and

Mono Counties are third partner in the venture, providing funds for support staff and facilities. In Inyo and Mono

Counties, 4-H serves its members via community clubs, after-school 4-H programs and other special programs.

4-H membership is open to all youth 5 years old to 18 years of age by Dec. 31st of the 4-H Program Year. The

projects exhibited at the Eastern Sierra Tri-County Fair are the results of members' efforts under the supervision of

adult volunteers. For additional information on the 4-H Youth Development Program in Inyo and Mono Counties,

and to learn how you can join or become a volunteer leader, please contact the 4-H Office at (760) 873-7854.

4-H DEPARTMENT RULES

1. These Divisions and Classes are open to all 4-H Members in Inyo, Mono and Alpine Counties, as well as 4-

H Members in those parts of Nevada listed in the Local Rules.

2. All entries in these Divisions must have been made, collected, grown, prepared and entered by the exhibitor

who is enrolled in the 4-H Youth Program within one year of the opening day of the Fair.

3. 4-H Exhibitors MAY NOT enter the same Divisions in the Junior Department as they are entering in the 4-

H Department.

4. 4-H Exhibitors DO NOT have to be in a specific project to enter an exhibit into a division.

5. 4-H Exhibitors MUST be enrolled in 4-H. Exhibitor’s age as of December 31st of Program year must be on

7. All special contest cash awards will be paid to the exhibitor by the 4-H Office.

8. 4-H Primary (5-8 year-old) Exhibitors ARE NOT subject to paying entry fees for their entries. Therefore, 4-

H Primary Exhibitors entries ARE NOT judged nor are they eligible to receive 1st, 2nd or 3rd place awards

or Best of Show awards for their entries. They will receive participation ribbons and they will be eligible for

“Primary Awards” which will be selected by random drawing from entries in the designated Primary divisions. The Danish System of judging is based on established standards of quality for each type of product.

In this system, each exhibit is judged according to how well it meets that standard, rather than how it compares with

other exhibits. In all 4-H Departments using the Danish System, the following outlines shall be used by the Judge:

1st Group - Superior 92-100% - Blue Ribbon 2nd Group - Good 84-91% - Red Ribbon

3rd Group - Average 70-83% - White Ribbon 4th Group - Poor 69% or less - No Ribbon Best of Show Winners are chosen from the 1st Place entries in each Division, unless otherwise noted.
