10. The county fair queen will be the guest of the Iowa State Fair Tuesday, August 6th through the time of the crowning on Saturday evening, August 10th, 2019. It is the responsi-bility of the contestant to make arrangements for trans-portation to and from Des Moines. The Adair County Fair Board will pay the $350 entry fee for the Iowa State Fair contest. The fee includes four nights lodging for the queen only, admission fees, meals, local transportation, programs and the crown, sash and a keepsake for the queen. Addi-tional expenses will be the queen’s responsibility.

11. As an Adair County Fair Queen candidate, we expect you to be fully committed to the competition. You will be asked during judging if you will be able to fully com-mit to the responsibilities of being the County Fair Queen, including full participation in the Iowa State Fair Queen Competition. Approval for schedule change requests at the state fair will be very limited. In order for a queen to get the most out of the experience at the state fair competition, they must be there to attend all aspects of the competition. The State Fair Queen Competition can be a very meaningful experience, but only if the queen can fully participate!

12. Application forms available at the Adair County Extension Office and on the fair website www.adaircountyfair.org.

Application must be completed and returned to the Extension office or Shirley Meisenheimer by July 1.

Open Archery Tournament Sunday, July 21, 10 am

NW Corner of fairgrounds Registration: 9 – 9:45 am

This 3d shoot is simple but very fun. The 3D targets are three-

dimensional and foam that looks like various game animals. Archers will move from station to station where they shoot at these animal tar-gets at various distances. The targets used for 3D tournaments have scoring rings on the area of the animal body where the vital organs would be. Archers try to shoot the targets in the vital areas – just like bowhunters would do on real animals.

An archer will take 3 shots at 10 targets, making 300 possible points. All an arrow has to do is touch the line of a scoring ring to earn the points awarded by that ring. Scoring rings will be explained the day of the shoot, such as where they are and how to score them.

Divisions Youth (under 18) Yardages: Youth Genesis - 10 and 15 yards Youth bowhunter - 10, 20, and 30 yards Youth Open Freestyle - 30, 40, and 50 yards Adults (over 18) Yardages: Adult Genesis - 15, and 20 yards Adult Bowhunter - 20, 30, and 40 yards Adult Open Freestyle - 30, 40, and 50 yards Entry Fees Adults - $10 Youth - $5

All participants will also have to pay at the front gate to enter fairgrounds.

Awards

Ribbons for 1st-3rd of each division Ribbons are colors of what you would score for a normal fair project, purple, blue, red. Large ribbon for first place, smaller for 2nd and 3rd.

Registration

To enter, sign up will be before the shoot from 9-9:45 am.
