A Message From COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

Welcome to the Collier County Fair

As one of Florida’s greatest traditions, fairs provide an excellent opportunity for communities to showcase the quality livestock and wholesome produce our state has to offer.

As you visit today’s exhibits, discover the many “Fresh from Florida” products we produce and the innovative techniques our farmers, ranchers and growers are using to put our state at the forefront of every opportunity.

With many industries struggling in these difficult economic times, Florida agriculture has emerged as the strongest pillar of our state’s economy. Continued strength depends on the com-mitment of our youth. The Collier County Fair is a great example of how this community is culti-vating the next generation of leaders to guide the future of Florida agriculture.

Congratulations to all of you who worked tirelessly throughout the year to make this year’s event the best yet. Enjoy the fair

Sincerely,

Adam H Putnam Commissioner of Agriculture

The Amanda Hamlett Scholarship Fund was established in 2001 and was founded in memory of Amanda Hamlett who was killed in an automobile accident in 1999. Amanda had been very active in 4-H for 10 years and had participated at the Collier County Fair during that time. The Fund was first issued in 2002 and was for $1,000. Some years multiple recipients each received a $1,000 scholarship to be used for their college education.

Criteria for this scholarship is:

• Active 4-H member for at least 2 years,

• Essay written by the 4-H’er and submitted with the application. The essay should be about 4-H’er’s accomplishments, plans for the future and what he or she hopes to accomplish.

A Scholarship Application can be picked up at the Collier County Fairgrounds office. The Collier County Fair Board is the sponsor of this Fund and is the deciding factor on who will receive the scholarship.

In Play With Gravity is a progressive Mototrials team based out of Casper, Wyoming. The company was formed in 2003 as a way to promote the sport of Motorials; A motorcy-cle competition series in which riders have to overcome ob-stacles on their motorcycles using control, balance and fi-nesse. Showing the public and other motorsports what type of riding can be accomplished on trials motorcycles is a huge pleas-ure for the team. Now riding, performing, and competing all over the country, Play With Gravity is showing their determi-nation to fascinate audiences and push the sport to new limits.

Billy Ray is the comedy creation and alter ego of Millard Brooks, MD, a semi-professional magician and Board certified anesthesiolo-gist from Naples, Florida. Millard has performed as both “Billy Ray and as “Doc Brooks" in a variety of venues including street festivals, walk around, formal close-up, parlour and stage. Millard has com-peted in and won, as Billy Ray, the 2005 Magic on the Beach close-up contest; placed third, as Doc Brooks, at the 2004 Florida State Convention close-up contest; and made the finals, as Billy Ray, at the 2006 International Brotherhood of Magicians Convention close-up contest.

An enchanting extravaganza celebrating the age old fellowship of these two phenomenal beings, Ma'Ceo presents rich acoustic music and a gypsy ring that sets the scene for an action packed performance. An unrivaled cast of artists from around the world attempt death defying stunts, display dexterous feats, and create breathtaking images alongside their equestrian brothers. As a break from today’s age of frills and technology, the world of Ma'ceo takes us back to the roots of gypsy heritage. Nearly ten different breeds of horse perform the most classic of riding styles from dressage to gypsy bareback in a high-energy, fully choreographed, multi-cultural experience that keeps the au-dience on the edge of their seats.

Frisbee dogs; the Disc-Connected K-9′s. have provided Fris-bee Dog entertainment around the world for over 20 years and have performed for some of the most amazing audiences.
