COMMITTEE: CLASS CHAIR NEEDED!

Guidelines for Exhibitors:

All produce must be locally grown by the exhibitor. Unless otherwise specified, all produce is to be wiped clean with a dry cloth, or brushed, but not washed. All small vegetables will be exhibited on paper plates provided by the Fair. Whenever a category indicates produce to be named, exhibitors are to place a tag specifying the proper variety.

Tips to Exhibitors: Colour--bright, clean, attractive. Condition--free from blemishes caused by insects, disease, dirt, mechanical damage and showing evidence of good culture and grooming. Quality -- specimens should be of the highest quality. Size -- should be moderate, not large, but always according to the variety. Trueness to type -- as true to variety or type specified as possible. Uniformity -- as nearly uniform in size, colour, form, shape and maturity as possible.

Tips for showing your vegetables:

Tomatoes -- leave stem on. Pumpkin and squash -- leave stem attached. Peppers -- leave half inch stem. Onions -- do not peel or wash, just remove outer skin, leave tops at one inch above bulb. Carrots -- leave a 1/2" top. Tap root left on. Washed lightly. Beets -- leave one inch above crown. Roots trimmed back to no less than one inch. Cucumbers -- leave 1/4" stem. Cabbage -- some outer leaves should be left on. Corn -- 1/3 husk removed from tip to butt. Potatoes -- do not wash.
