Welcome, Fair-Goers! We are pleased to have you join us in celebrating our 177th Lenawee County Fair!!

This year’s theme is “Sow It, Grow It, Show It”. As this year’s fair board president, I would like to share my thoughts on how this reflects our fair board’s purpose in bringing a quality fair experience to our community.

The first phrase, “Sow It”, relates to the fair’s foundation…A rich legacy of volunteers, donors, merchants, vendors, 4-H, FFA and open class families, and dedicated fair board members working hard to create an ongoing tradition that people look forward to every year.

The middle phrase, “Grow It” demonstrates our continuous efforts to improve the fair through leadership, responsibility and pride in our county.

Lastly, “Show It” culminates in our exciting fair week, where Lenawee shines at its best and brightest! We strive to offer the best possible entertainment, exhibits, projects, midway, food, fun and family time.

I would like to extend a big “Thank You” to all who make our fair possible, especially all who walk through our gates in order to preserve our wonderful fair!

Sincerely,

Mark VandenbuschePresident

Animal OasisWith more than 40 years of experience with domestic and exotic animals of all sizes and types, Michigan-based Animal Oasis provides an interactive, educational, & memorable experience that appeals to all generations! The Animal Oasis exotic animal exhibit provides an opportunity to get up close & personal with a variety of unusual creatures. Visitors will learn the difference between an African crested porcupine & the prehensile-tailed porcupine of South America. They can observe the social & family dynamics of ring-tailed lemurs, kangaroos, monkeys, & other species complete the exhibit.

The only one of its kind in the world - a unique mobile walk-through bird exhibit. They have taken the avian encounter concept & put it on the road. The exhibit includes a variety of healthy & beautiful birds in free flight. Custom air lock systems in the display enable visitors to walk among the birds in a riot of color and beauty; a special mix is available for visitors to purchase & hand-feed the birds.

And if that is not enough – Camel Rides!The Animal Oasis owns the largest camel herd in

Michigan and have bred, raised, and trained camels for many years. They work with the other top camel trainers and breeders in the country to ensure a herd of healthy,

well-trained ride camels. We strive to have the healthiest, most well-adjusted camels, bar none.

Come to the Lenawee County Fair to See, Experience & Ride animals of the Animal Oasis at the

Main Entrance to the Lenawee Fairgrounds.

above requirements are unfulfilled.B You may use a choke collar or nylon choke in all classes

except for Agility. No pinch collars are to be used in any class. Obedience requires a six foot leather or solid fabric leash (no chain leashes).

C In both obedience & agility, once a dog receives two qualifying scores, at a given level of achievement, the dog must advance to a higher level. The “A” & “B” classes of a given level of achievement are viewed together, as a single level. A qualifying obedience score is 170 points or more & qualifying agility score is 85 points or more. Once a dog has reached a given level of achievement, the dog may not show at a lower level, even with a different exhibitor. An

exhibitor may return to a lower level with a different dog that has not previously achieved said level.

D Exhibitors showing dog(s) will also be evaluated on the grooming of their dog(s).

E To compete in agility, a dog must be at least one (1) year of age. This is for the health of the dog. A tag-free “buckle” collar” MUST be used when competing in all agility classes.

F Entry into the Advance Handling Class is mandatory for exhibitors that have placed first or second in two or more prior handling classes at previous Lenawee County Fairs.

G Classes that are designated by “A” are reserved for exhibitors showing in their first year at that level. A youth or dog who is exhibiting in that level additional years must show in classes designated by “B”. When an exhibitor moves up to the next level, a class designated by “A” may be used again. “Class C” is for all ages that have no interest in moving to the next level. Two qualify scores in pre-novice to enter into this class. Premium - ribbon only. Non qualification for the top competitor trophies.

H The “costume class” is a non-premium event. There will be no specific theme & you must use your imagination. This is a ribbon class only.

J Exhibitors with female dogs in season (in heat) will be allowed to show, but only at the end of their class. Please notify the superintendent, that you have a female dog in season, before the dog show starts. Female dogs that are in season must be kept away from the show area until you are ready to show.

Boys: Dress slacks & a shirt or turtleneck are recommended (ties are optional). Obedience & Agility - Dress slacks are highly recommended for all participants.

No clothing with club name, personal identification, logos, sayings, or other printed words will be allowed.

L To qualify for the Competitor Trophy the exhibitor must enter a Handling, Obedience & Agility class with the same dog. In Handling Class the exhibitor must place (first through sixth) to qualify. In Obedience & Agility classes, the scores (as a percentage) will be combined. The exhibitor with the highest qualifying combined score will receive the Competitor Trophy.

PROCEDURE FOR DRUG TESTING1 Verify the animal you are about to test. Identify any tattoos, ear

tags or ear notches that are on the animal. Whenever possible use USDA official identification vs. farm identification. Be sure to include this information on the “Sample Tag”.

2 Present the container for examination to the animal representative/exhibitor, making sure to verify with the animal representative that the security seal has not been previously broken. (The animal representative must remain with the animal at all times during the sample collection process.)

3 Record the seal # in the top right box of the Sample Transmittal Packing List.

4 Open the container by pressing upward on the tab marked open, breaking the seal.

5 Place the container in the catching stick; fold the lid back & anchor it under the metal finger welded onto the handle.

6 If a urine sample cannot be obtained, a Michigan Licensed Veterinarian/Veterinarian Technician may collect five tubes of blood from the animal. Each tube of blood must be identified with one of the six small sticker tags provided on the “Sample Tag”. Place the five labeled blood tubes inside a plastic sample container & seal as described below.

7 After collecting the sample, close the lid & snap it completely shut. Loop the barbed plastic strip on the sample container through the two holes in the container tabs & pull snug. Apply a short piece of evidence tape across the protruding end of the plastic barbed strip & also across the lid & down sides of the container.

8 Complete the information on a “Sample Tag” substituting the name of the fair for “Track”, the name of the animal ( Grand Champion Steer, Reserve Champion Swine, etc.) for “horse” & the ear tag number or other unique identification number for “Tattoo”. After the animal representative has watched the sample collection & sealing, they must sign under “Witness” on the sample tag. The person collecting the sample must sign under the “Sampled By” on the “Sample Tag.”

9 Place on completed large sticker tag from the top of the “Sample Tag” on the top of the sample container over the evidence tape & the other completed large sticker tag on the side of the container. The remaining portion of the completed “Sample Tag” must be kept & NOT returned to the lab.

10 Lock the sealed labeled sample container in a metal can. Once the can is locked it can not be opened until it reached the lab.

11 Samples must be held secure & cold until transferred to the laboratory. (Urine may be frozen, blood must be kept refrigerated & never be frozen.)

12 Any discarded needles should be placed in an approved “Sharps” container by the veterinarian/veterinarian technician.

13 When all sample collection has been completed, fill out the “Sample Transmittal Packing List.” The packing list must identify the tag number of all samples included in the case.
