2010 Schedule: Open Competition

Enter at East door Exhibits should arrive at the east door of the (blue) 4-H building at the fairgrounds between 3:00-6:00pm on Monday, August 2nd, 2010. NO LATER! A No pre-entry is required. Classes in this division are open to anyone who wishes to exhibit with one exception, 4-H’ers cannot enter the same exhibit in both 4-H classes and open classes. Example: if a 4-H’er enters a plate of cookies in the 4-H food class, he or she cannot enter a plate of the same in the open class division.

This new contest challenges teams of 4-H members to create a dish using only a predetermined number of ingredients. From these ingredients, team members must identify and prepare the dish, then make a presentation about it to a panel of judges. The presentation will include information about the serving size, nutritional value, cost of the dish, food safety, and impact of using local foods. Enter your team of three 4-H members in either the Intermediate or Senior division. Please register by July 12th (date change). Information available at the Extension Office.

A new fun and exciting feature this year at the 135th Bremer County Fair is the 1st Annual Cow Chip Bingo Contest. Contestants can purchase tickets all day Friday August 6th and Saturday August 7th until 1:00pm when a Bremer Bovine will be placed in the special pen near the Snack Shak. The pen’s grass bottom will have a bingo card painted and numbered. The Bovine will select the winner by “voting” on the number……in case of a tie, the winner will be decided by the Barn Quilt committee. The grand prize is a custom made wooden Bremer Barn Quilt, and the winner can select the style and color.
