WELCOME...TO THE

OKEFENOKEE AGRICULTURAL

OPEN LETTER TOOUR PATRONS

Greetings and Welcome to the Fair,On behalf of the members of the Exchange Club of Waycross & the Okefenokee Fair Asso-

ciation I would like to extend to you a personal welcome to the 2013 Okefenokee Agricultural Fair. For the 59th year Waycross will be the site of this area’s Agricultural Fair. I guarantee that this Fair will be loads of fun for the whole family! I would like to take a moment to share with you the excitement of our upcoming fair.

Starting November 12th through the 17th we will be hosting events that have become a tradition at the fair. For our main attraction, we are proud to have Amusements of America and there array of exciting rides and shows. For you thrill seekers the midway will have an assortment of heart racing, adrenaline charged rides to excite the young and young at heart. If you are one who is looking for a calmer experience we will offer rides with a little more sedated side. If you have young children we will be ready to thrill and excite them as well with a large variety of children’s rides for the youngest of fair goers. From a fun fi lled midway, full of amusement rides and shows, to the tasty foods provided by many vendors, and other local clubs from our area you can expect to have a great time.

Not forgetting our heritage you will be able to refl ect upon the past. The Agricultural Fair gives people a splendid opportunity to reconnect with yester years. Many of us have long since moved off the farm and our children no longer have the opportunity to experience the variety of farm animals. A short trip over to the Animal shelter will provide you a chance to experience live stock that would be a common place to a farm house many years ago. You can experience fi rst hand the various hogs, cows, and goats that we will have on display. In addition there will be many animal exhibits and competitions. Attending these will not only be entertaining but informative as well.

Make sure to visit our 4-H Building and browse over the many booths prepared by our youth from Ware and surrounding counties. These young people work hard to provide in-formation and displays of topics ranging from, “Dangers of Texting while Driving” to “Bream Fishing in Farm Ponds”. You will truly be amazed by the information these student competi-tors will provide for you.

Another tradition of the Okefenokee Agricultural Fair is the old fashioned competition of who is the best of the best. Come review the different varieties of homemade arts and crafts that are submitted for judging from the local talent in our area. Whether your grandmother enters her handmade quilt or your mother competes with a jar of her favorite blackberry jam, or maybe you enter your very own crocheted table cloth, everyone is a winner when the entrants display their crafts and wares.

Let’s not forget the many local businesses and groups that set up their display booths inside the fair building. As you pass through the gates you will be surrounded by the many patrons who help make this fair possible. Be sure to visit their booths and see what they have to offer.

As a result of the hard work and many hours of service given by the committee members and volunteers involved along with the support from our sponsors, local government agen-cies, churches and especially you the patron, we would not be able to continue to provide to the local programs in which we donate to. Money generated at the Fair is returned back into the community in the form of donations to various charities, scholarships and school programs that are supported by the fair.

We guarantee that you will not want to miss a minute of fun at this year’s fair. Come join us to make it one that you will remember for a long time to come. See you at the Fair!

VIII. COURSE LAYOUT1. The operation portion of this contest shall take place on a relatively level area that shall not exceed an area that measures 50’ X 75’. The boundaries of this area will be marked. Any contestant that crosses the boundaries of this area during the operation portion of this competition will be disqualifi ed.2. The mower will be stationed on a utility trailer. A tim-ing line will be marked across the front of the trailer. Time will begin and end when the front wheels of the mower have crossed the timing line.3. The “alley” will consist of two 90 degree angles that form a “step” shape. (Imagine a line that runs East for 20’, turns South for 15’, and then continues East for 15’.) All measure-ments for the “alley” will be based on this marked line. The width and all openings for the “alley” will be determined based upon the diagonal width of the mower (diagonal width measured from the center of the inside front wheel to the outside center of the opposite rear wheel) for competition. 4. An object (hammer, shoe, toy, etc.) will be placed in the alley. The contestant will need to stop the mower, turn off the engine, dismount the mower and remove the object from the alley. Then the contestant is to resume driving the through the alley.5. An 8’ x 8’ area will be designated as an area that the con-testant has to pull into and back-up for repositioning of the mower and pull into again and then back-up and resume driving through the alley.6. Two fi ve gallon buckets, two barrels, or two automobile tires will be placed in the course so that the contestant will have to circle each, as if they were mowing around trees, be-fore returning the mower to the trailer. These objects will be set apart determined by the diagonal width measured from the center of the inside front wheel to the outside center of the opposite rear wheel + 12 inches. Markers from the buck-ets, barrels, or tires will be set at the same width apart.7. A marker is considered scraped when it has been touched or moved by any part of the mower. An “upset” will be con-sidered as moving a marker from its station.8. The course will be navigated with the mowing deck set at a cutting height to be determined by the judge. The mower PTO will NOT be engaged.
