Judging will be completed by competent judges. Competition is open to everyone and all entries will be judged as open class (except classes which specify an age of the exhibitor and may or may not receive an award according to judges.) Decision of the judges is final!

Everyone except department chairs and the assistants must leave Floral Hall while entries are being judged and will not be permitted to re-enter until judging has been completed. Every effort will be made to finish and have hall open Monday and night by 5:00 PM.

AN EXHIBITOR MAY ENTER ONLY ONE ITEM IN A CLASS AND MUST BE MADE BY THE PERSON EXHIBITING, OR IT WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. If more than one item is entered, all but one will be disqualified; the choice will be made by the department chair. In the GARDEN PRODUCE Department, only one member of the family is eligible for an award in any one class.

A tag will be firmly attached to each entry with the exhibitor number and their name on the back of the tag.

NO EXHIBIT WHICH RECEIVED A BLUE RIBBON IN ANY PREVIOUS MERCER COUNTY FAIR IN OPEN CLASS FLORAL HALL WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR COMPETITION THIS YEAR

Judges and Best of Show Awards: These awards will be presented to the most outstanding entry. In case of a tie, rosettes will be dually displayed.

Premiums offered: Blue ribbons receive $5, Red ribbons receive $3, and White ribbons receive $1.

Sweepstakes scoring: Each Blue ribbon received in a category will count 5 points, Red will count 3 points and White will count 1 point. The exhibitor with the most points in a Department will be the sweepstakes winner for that Department. In the event of a tie, the rosette will be dually displayed.

Grade Categories: Exhibitors using these should state grade in school just completed on the tag.

Removal of Entries: All entries must be removed by the designated time and premiums

Registration sheets and entry tags may be picked up in advance of the Fair at the Mercer County Extension Office, 1007 Lexington RD, 859.734.4378. Those exhibitors with a large number of exhibits will save time and prevent frustration by filling out registration sheets and entry tags prior to checking in. To ease the check in process, pre-registration will be available again this year beginning two weeks prior (July 11, 2016) at the Mercer County Extension Office between 8:30am-4:00pm and closed Mondays and Fridays for lunch, 12-1pm.

Helpful Tip: Use a return address label.

All entries will count toward a Special Club Award. Any organized club will be eligible for participation (this includes church groups and local civic auxiliaries). The exhibitor must declare, at the time of check-in, the club or organization to whose credit the points shall be awarded. The exhibitor must be a member of that club or organization. Each entry will count two points, each Blue ribbon will count 5 points, each Red ribbon will count 3 points, and each White ribbon will count 1 point. Sweepstakes awards will not count. Champion and Reserve Club will be awarded with specially designated rosette ribbons.

Every effort will be made by the Extension Homemakers and Fair Association to protect all exhibits from casualties. However, the Homemakers nor the Fair Association will not be responsible for any loss as a result of breakage, damage by handling, water, dirt, or loss by theft and/or other casualties.

When Floral is open, an official will be on duty. When closed the exhibit area will be locked and secure. Strenuous effort will be made to give the utmost protection to all exhibits .
