Weld County Fair Board rule review and change procedures All areas of the Junior Livestock Show including rules for the fair are reviewed annually by the Junior Livestock and Animal Health committee. The committee thoroughly discusses changes, votes on the changes and makes their recommendations to the Fair Board. The Fair Board discusses the committee recommendations for changes to the department including rule changes. The Fair Board then either adopts the recommended changes or chooses not to. Examples of recommendations made to the fair board by the committee that were adopted are: adding a Dairy Steer Show to the Market Beef Department; changing the wording (for clarity) in the fair book under rule IV to read (changes are in red): IV. FITTING OF ANIMAL: All Junior exhibitors in whose name the entered animal is owned, and entry accepted and acknowledged, are responsible for the custody, care and feeding of their animal(s). Junior exhibitors are expected to have prepared their own project animal for exhibition. While on the Weld County Fairgrounds all livestock must be fitted by junior Weld County 4-H or FFA exhibitors. Exhibitors may receive assistance from immediate family members only or other Weld County 4-H or FFA members.

The board president will contact the people involved about the decision that has been made. Meeting adjourned 8:55p.m. Respectfully submitted, Valerie Day Dear County Commissioners, On behalf of our daughter Caitlyn Anderson we would like to appeal the decision of the Weld County Fair board at their December meeting. Our daughter submitted a 4H record book for the wrong species and was banned from exhibition in the 2017 Weld County Fair. This was her first year as a senior (She was 14 years old as of January 1, 2016) and was given the responsibility of completing her record book independently. She shows multiple species of livestock and was overwhelmed by recording them on the same book so she decided to complete a record book for each species. She mistakenly submitted her steer book but sold her lamb at the county fair. Her record book was submitted by the deadline and was scored above the 90 percentile, but as I mentioned before, was the wrong species. By the time the mistake was discovered, it was too late to be corrected. Our daughter is an upstanding member of 4H. She spends more than 20 hours a week in the barn caring for her livestock. She has invested her premium winnings over the last 5 years back into her projects, breeding and buying her own ewes and purchasing her first show steer and breeding heifer, building her herd to include a heifer and steer for this year. She helps other 4H members with their projects, including showing other members showmanship techniques and volunteering at showmanship clinics assisting the younger 4H members. She has foregone other activities and time with friends afterschool due to her responsibilities caring for her livestock at home. She works extremely hard and sacrifices much in her attempt to be successful in the show ring. 4H is a youth organization based on learning and engaging youth to reach their fullest potential and whose slogan is "learn by doing". Through this oversight, our daughter learned the importance of being detail oriented. She stood before the fair board, a group of adults she has only made the acquaintance of a handful of times and apologized for making a mistake. A mistake she took ownership of and offered to make amends for. She answered their questions to the best of her knowledge and respectfully accepted their decision although it broke her heart. The fact of the matter is it was a mistake, a child's mistake. A mistake she learned a great life lesson from and one she is unlikely to repeat. As a family we love the Weld County Fair. We see such a great value in it for the youth of Weld County that we have invested in the youth livestock sale ourselves to help promote 4H and motivate youth in the county to participate at the fair and I have proven that value to the company I work for (Mountain States Lamb) so that they sponsor several 4H events in the county and also participate in the livestock sale. Both my wife and I grew up showing in 4H and FFA. It is part of the foundation and building blocks of what we have become today. We consider this a family affair and we have extended our family with all the other families that we show and interact with at the Weld County Fair. Please consider allowing Caitlyn to participate in the 2017 Weld County Fair. She has put in hours of work already in preparation of the fair and is devastated by the decision of the Fair Board. 4H is very important to our family and we would appreciate the opportunity to continue to participate as a family. Sincerely, Brad and Lori Anderson rrt" WELD COUNTY Est. 191.8 FAIR., rot le< rrf 525 N. 15th Avenue Greeley, CO 80631 970-400-2085 www.weldcountyfair.com October 10, 2016 Dear Caitlyn, As an exhibitor of livestock/horse at the 2016 Weld County Fair you are required to turn in a completed 4-H Livestock/Horse record book to be eligible to exhibit livestock or horse at the 2017 Weld County Fair. As on 09/30/2016 we did not receive a record book from you. According to the 2016 Weld County Fair book, page 155, letter H: All 4-H members who exhibited livestock/horse must turn in to the Extension office at least one completed livestock record book by the published deadline to be eligible to exhibit livestock/horse at next year's fair. Your record book may be submitted in person or you can mail it in. If you choose to mail it in the record book must be postmarked by the published deadline or it will not be accepted. 1. If the member sold an animal in the Junior Livestock Sale, a completed record book must be submitted for the species the exhibitor sold. 2. Completed record books must be submitted no later than the Friday after Labor Day by 5:00, to the Weld County Extension Office, of the year shown. 3. Record books must score a minimum of 70% of the total points possible to be considered complete. It was also stated on page 155, letter I, #4: Late record books — after the published deadline of the Friday after Labor Day. Any 4-H Livestock/Horse exhibitor or FFA Livestock/Horse exhibitor who does not submit a completed Livestock/Horse 4-H record book or FFA record book form by the published deadline will be removed from any record book awards and will activate the following process: You can submit your late Livestock/Horse 4-H record book or FFA record book form (the Friday after Labor Day until September 30th) with $100.00 fee per exhibitor, maximum of $500.00 per family, and attend the next scheduled Fair Board meeting to give an explanation to the Fair Board for your late Livestock/Horse 4-H record book or FFA record book form. These record books will not be judged with the other record books or be considered for any of the record book awards. These late Livestock/Horse 4-H record books will be judged separately to make certain they received a score of at least 70%, if they did not then member will have to attend the 4-H record book training class. The final deadline for late submission of 4-H record books or FFA record book forms is September 30th of the current year. Absolutely no Livestock/Horse 4-H record books or FFA record book forms will be accepted after that date. There will be no meeting with the Fair Board after that date. The 4-H or FFA member who does not meet the requirement of a Livestock/Horse 4-H record book or FFA record book form submitted will no longer be considered in good standing with the Weld County Fair. Said member may not exhibit Livestock/Horse at the following year's Weld County Fair. While you did not submit a completed 4-H Livestock/Horse record book for your beef project you did not submit a completed 4- H Livestock/Horse record book in the species you sold (lamb), therefore you are now ineligible to exhibit livestock/horse at the 2017 Weld County Fair, Southeast Weld County Fair, and Northeast Weld County Fair. Please understand that ineligibility at these fairs does not prevent you from being a member in 4-H and participating at the Colorado State Fair, National Western Stock Show, AKSARBAN provided that you meet their entry requirements. If this is your only project and you would like to be considered a member in good standing, according to 4-H rules, you will need to turn in a completed 4-H record book to your 4-H organizational leader. At that time, they will review your book and notify our office that you have completed the record book requirement to be considered a member in good standing. We encourage you to continue your 4-H/FFA experience with a non -livestock project. If you have questions please call Aaron Helus Fair Board President at 970-381-0806 or Pat Kindvall Fair Board Secretary at 970- 405-3023.
