2017 FAIRBOOK DEDICATION
Adair Norman
Adair Norman is a Colorado native who has served on the fair board for 2 decades. Adair
enjoys being with his family and he also enjoys animals. Getting his girls involved with 4-H led
to him being involved with the fair board and the sale committee. His children share in his love
for animals and being involved within the community.
Adair has served in the U.S. Navy, on the Rangely School board, Silver Springs Water board, and
as a deacon at the First Baptist Church. He has the heart to serve in whatever capacity he can.
Adair enjoys the outdoors, hunting, fishing and just being outside. Adair enjoys playing at
raising hay and cows.
Adair is the chairman of the Livestock Sale Committee and is one of the reasons the Livestock
Sale is so successful. We appreciate Adair and his dedication to the 4-H program.
Congratulations Adair!!

Minimum Weigh-In Rule - Minimum weight is based on
actual scale reading. If light weight, we will have an immediate re-weigh;
animals with lower than minimum ultrasound readings will be immediately
retested.
Bred & Fed Contest - This contest is free and available for all 4-H
members in Beef, Sheep, Swine, and Goat market projects. The stipulation is very
simple: Your 4-H project has to be bred in Rio Blanco County. Animals coming from out of state or another county are
ineligible to participate. If you are a local 4-H member and your animals border the county you could petition to
participate (contact Bill Ekstrom: 970-878-9490).
The first step is to bring your animal to Meeker or Rangely Tag in to be weighed. If you cannot attend, someone can
bring your animal for you. It must be weighed in. The contest has three parts, Rate of Gain, Showmanship, and Market
Classes. Your animal will be scored on those three events.
Prizes will be based on donations from sponsors. We are looking at things like, Blowers, Clippers and other useful items
related to your project.
4-H Exhibits - Projects will be accepted on Monday July 31st in Meeker from
2:00-5:00pm and Tuesday August 1st in Meeker from 7:00-8:30am.
Pet Rock Contest - All entries for the Pet Rock contest must be turned in
Thursday, August 3rd from 7:00-9:00am.
PEEWEE OPEN SHOWMANSHIP ANIMALS - All animals that will be used for any of the PeeWee
Showmanship classes MUST BE ENTERED BEFORE FAIR (see schedule for deadlines) or there will not be a stall

Silent Auction
ATTENTION! Kids, moms, dads, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, grandmas, grandpas, and friends!
Bring ANYTHING you made to the 2017 Fair and take home a little hard earned cash!
Any exhibit you enter at the Rio Blanco County Fair is eligible to be placed in the Silent Auction—with
all proceeds going to YOU—the exhibitor! Keep a list of all the things you make over the year(s) and
when July 30th rolls around collect all your items and show them off at Fair!
Silent Auctions are a fantastic method to bring fun and profit to your special events!
Why not bring it to the Fair?!
RIO BLANCO COUNTY FAIR SILENT AUCTION
Anyone entering an exhibit in the Open division at the Fair can place their exhibit in the Silent Auction
program. The exhibitor will fill out a bidding card which will be placed next to the item for sale. The
Bidding will be open from 6:00pm, Thursday, August 3rd, and will close Saturday, August 5th, at 5:00pm.
This is not a fundraising auction—it is meant to support the Rio Blanco County artisans and
community members—although the Rio Blanco County Fair does accept donations!
An exhibitor may not enter more entries than each class allows.
Exhibitors can determine a “minimum” bid. Even if no bids are made, it would show the
value of the product to visitors.
Exhibitors do not have to participate in the Silent Auction—only those who wish to!
Any perishable items sold must be “re-created” and ready at 6:00pm, Saturday, August 5th.
Perishable items must be prepared in accordance with USDA Food Safety Standards.
Highest bidder at 5:00pm, Saturday August 6th wins and the exhibitor keeps the profits!
Why this is a good idea:
A new spin on a timeless tradition!
Bake Sale/Close of Silent Auction creates a culminating event to the Indoor side of Fair!
Reiterates Commissioner's community support ideas by buying locally!
If successful, should increase Indoor Fair entries next year!
Increase visitor attendance– visitors would be returning to check their bids!
Exhibitors can make a little money!
Participation is voluntary!
Community Pride!
