Hello and welcome to the 2015 Charles County Fair.This has been a year to finish rebuilding after the devastating loss of our livestock

facility in April of 2013.Through the help of so many dedicated and caring individuals, our new buildings are

complete. Please join us in celebrating another great year.We are planning the renovation of one of our oldest buildings that was partially dam-

aged in the fire into a pictorial agricultural museum. If you would like to be a part of thiseffort, commemorative memorial bricks are available which will encompass the floor of this

building. Please contact the fair office for more information.On behalf of our all-volunteer Board of Directors, our Fair Manager, the Jr. Directors and myself, we like to invite you

to participate in this year’s Fair. We would also like to thank the hundreds of volunteers that put forth their time, effortand talents; without them, our Fair would not be the success that we feel is one of the nicest family events in CharlesCounty.

Please, pick up a Fair schedule of events so that you can enjoy all that the Fair has to offer.Make family memories to share for years to come. Please also make plans to join us December 11th and 12th for our

3rd annual Kris Kringle Christmas Market.Remember to save time and money by riding the free shuttle to the Fair; pick it up behind the courthouse in La Plata.Have a wonderful time!

Sincerely,Charlie Gardiner, President, Charles County Fair

WELCOME TO THE 92nd ANNUALCHARLES COUNTY FAIR

RISING FROM THE FLAMESIn Spring of 2013, the Charles County Fair suffered a devastating loss. A fire decimated the animal barns used during the fair and other commu-

nity agricultural events. The organization is dedicated to rebuilding bigger and better. Since Charles County Fair, Inc. is a 3(c) non-profit, and doesnot receive government support, we will ask the community for its support.

The Old McDonald Barn (the oldest building on the grounds) survived the fire. We will incorporate it into the new construction and felt that amore permanent floor would enhance the durability of the Barn. We plan to use bricks for the floor, and members of the community have asked forways to support the Fair in the rebuilding endeavor. Dedication bricks are available to remember family, friends, or just to support the Fair.

The Bricks will be a red barn color and the inscription will be limited to 3 lines with 15 spaces on each line. The 15 characters per line includespaces, capital letters and numbers — no special characters. Please use the grid below to write your inscription in capital, legible characters. The priceof each brick will be $100; please fill out a separate form for each brick. Mail forms to: Charles County Fair, Inc., PO Box 968, La Plata, MD 20646.

Health veterinarians or health inspectors, private veterinarians contractedby the show, UM Extension employees or individuals designated by fair orshow “responsible person.”

Suspicion of communicable disease is adequate grounds for rejection.Confirmed diagnosis is not required, since timely removal of suspiciousanimals is required by law to protect the remaining animals. If it is believedthat there is a potentially serious communicable disease present, all animalsoriginating with the suspect animal may be rejected. Vesicular diseases areof particular concern.

All decisions are final. All parties involved will be notified of all rejec-tions and the exhibitor is responsible for removal of the animal(s) from thegrounds immediately.

QUESTIONS?If you have any questions or are unsure of any of these animal health

You Can Find It All in 4-H at the County Fair...


The Charles County 4-H program is for boys and girls ages 8-18.Younger children may participate in our non-competitive Clover programfor ages 5-7. All ages are as of January 1 of the current year. 4-H programshave exciting club and special interest programs, activities, and events thatsupport learning by doing.

4-H PLEDGEI pledge my HEAD to clearer thinking, my HEART to greater loyalty,my HANDS to larger service, and my HEALTH to better living,for my club, my community, my country, and my world.

4-H MOTTO“To Make the Best Better” “Learn by Doing”

4-H COLORSGREEN and WHITEGreen represents life, springtime and youth. White symbolizes purity.

THE 4-H MISSIONThe goal of 4-H is to help youth learn everyday living skills through

planned “learning by doing” experiences. 4-H offers many project areasbut the current focus is on three main mission areas: SET (Science,Engineering, & Technology), Healthy Living, and Citizenship. While help-ing youth grow and develop, adult volunteers also develop as individuals.

4-H is one of the educational programs of the University of MarylandExtension. 4-H is:

a. Informal and out of schoolb. Organized and directed by volunteer community leadersc. Composed of clubs and small groups of 5 or more members and isfamily-orientedd. Supervised by professional staff

4-H projects allow youth to learn skills and grow as individuals:a. Projects are developed at the University of Maryland and other landgrant universities throughout the countryb. Project groups promote skill development, teamwork and socialdevelopment

The 4-H club is guided by volunteers who work with professional Extensionstaff:

a. Volunteers may teach projectsb. Some volunteers organize the club and are responsible for the edu-cational programsc. Other volunteers provide support for the total programd. 4-H educators teach volunteers to perform their roles

4-H is publicly supported by county, state and federal governments.Private resources, both human and material, are used to enrich the learn-ing experiences of youth and adults.

ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF YOUTHDEVELOPMENT

There are eight essential elements that define a 4-H YouthDevelopment program. These elements fit into four basic ideals that yieldpositive outcomes in youth, adults and communities. They are:1. Independence — Youth need to know they are able to influence people

and events through decision-making and action.2. Belonging — Current research emphasizes the importance for youth to

have opportunities for long-term consistent relationships with adultsother than parents. This research suggests that belonging may be thesingle, most powerful, positive ingredient we can add to the lives ofyouth.

3. Generosity — Youth need to feel their lives have meaning and purpose.By participating in 4-H community service and citizenship activities,youth can connect to communities and learn to give back to others.

4. Mastery — In order to develop self-confidence, youth need to feel andbelieve they are capable and must experience success at solving prob-lems and meeting challenges.

The 4-H PROJECTThe project is the foundation for learning experiences. Projects are

designed so individuals can progress at their own pace through learningopportunities. With the guidance of parents, volunteers or teen leaders,knowledge is applied to practical life experiences. Projects put the handsand mind to work. Most projects have been designed with several levels sothat a member may advance to more difficult and challenging experiences.

4-H offers many project areas but the current focus is on three mainmission areas: SET (Science, Engineering, & Technology); Healthy Living;Citizenship.

The three core subject areas include Animal Sciences, EnvironmentalSciences/Natural Resources, and Human Sciences.

HOW TO BECOME INVOLVED IN 4-H4-H’ers live in every part of the county from Nanjemoy to Hughesville

To learn more about 4-H while at the fair, stop by the 4-HBuilding. Sign up to attend one of our 4-H Information Nights which willbe offered this fall.

THE 4-H CLUBThe 4-H club offers “learning by doing” experiences to practice skills

in subject matter, teamwork, leadership, and citizenship. Subject matterskills come through project work in small groups, at the club meeting, athome and in the community. Teamwork is learned through planning andimplementing activities such as community service or fund-raising projects.Leadership and citizenship skills are learned through serving as an officeror a committee member.

Community Club — Usually organized in a small geographic areafor traveling convenience of those attending meetings. The club meetsthroughout the year under the direction of volunteer leaders. Its officersinclude a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and reporter.
