to all the businesses and individuals who donate their products and time to make the Polk County Fair successful.

Without your support, the fair would not be possible.Again, a big THANK YOU!

520 s. pacific Hwy West • 503-623-3048

Welcome to Polk County Fair 2016The Polk County Fair will be burst-

ing at the seams when it comes toanimal exhibits.

“We are going to be really full. We areputting them in every nook and cranny,”said Tina Andersen, fair manager. “We aretrying to stretch that small animal barnto make it bigger.”While the situation could be the cause

of some logistical headaches, Andersenlikes that 4-H and FFA exhibits are takingup all available space and then some.“It’s a good problem to have,”

Andersen said. Animals may be the star of the event,

but Polk County Fair 2016, “Boots, Chaps,and Cowboy Hats” will have plenty moreto offer during its three-day run startingThursday. The world’s largest caramel popcorn

ball, helicopter tours and camel rides arethree of the more unusual attractions. Those looking for county fair staples,

the truck and tractor pull, beautiful babycontest, the Raw Hide Express Train and

booth after booth of fried goodies canbe found. “I’m very happy to announce we have

elephant ears back,” Andersen said.The doughy delicacy can be found at

the Country Treasures booth, run by acouple from Falls City. Returning for a second year will be the

beer and wine garden, Madjek, Inc.inflatable carnival and the Rough StockRodeo.

Andersen said she brought in moreseating for the Thursday night rodeo,which proved surprisingly popular lastyear. “We’ve done a lot of work to make

sure we have enough seating so all peo-ple who want to see the rodeo can,”Andersen said. “We have almost doublethe seats we had last year.” Just for rodeo night, there will be a

beer-only beer garden set up at the

arena so, unlike last year, fairgoers don’thave to pick between watching therodeo and enjoying an adult beverage. The fair received a grant from the

Siletz Tribe to enhance the “kids’ safetyarea,” which has been moved to BuildingD. Car seats, life jackets, and bike helmets

will be given away as prizes, and a newbooth offering fingerprinting and photoIDs for children has been added withgrant funding. “That is going to provide some really

cool stuff in our kids’ safety area,”Andersen said. If music is your thing, the fair has got

you covered there, too. Country artists Chris Tardiff &

Showdown and The Bronco Billy Band,local musicians Aaron Shinkle and TyCurtis, and something for the rocker in allof us, Infamous Soul, dot the entertain-ment schedule. “We have a little bit of everything,”

Andersen said.

Boots Chaps and Cowboy Hats What: 2016 Polk County Fair. When: Thursday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.Where: Polk County Fairgrounds & Event Center, 520 S. Pacific Highway West (99W),

Rickreall. Admission: Daily: adults, $8; juniors (ages 11 to 15), $5; seniors (62 and older), $5; chil-

dren 10 and younger are free. Season passes: adult, $20; junior, $10; and senior, $10. Of note: Seniors are free on Thursday until 4 p.m. and active members of the military

Parking: $3 per car.

Animals, trains, rodeo, ‘world’s largest caramel popcorn ball’ featured

The rodeo isback. Afterproviding a

rodeo at the PolkCounty Fair in 2015for the first time inmore than 15years, Wild WestEvents Inc. is backwith Hell onHooves Rough Stock Rodeo Thursday at7 p.m. “It surpassed all expectations last year,”

organizer Wayne White said. “It was thebiggest night of the fair. Needless to saywe’re fired up about putting it on againthis year. I guarantee people it’ll be agood time.” This year’s rodeo features bareback

riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding,barrel racing and mutton busting. “This may be a ‘small town’ fair, but

expect to see top-notch competitors,”White said. “Last weekend, we had some cowboys

who were national finals qualifiers andalso PBR finalists in the bull riding,” White

said. “We hope wecan get those guyshere, too.” The mutton

busting provides athrill for the youngones — and a goodlaugh for theadults.“It’s the only

form of legalized child abuse,” White saidwith a chuckle. “The reason being everyone of those little kids riding nine milesan hour just before they fall, they all dothe same thing and open their mouthsfor some reason. It’s a good time.” The rodeo proved to be one of the

most popular attractions at the fair in2015, so be prepared to get there early ifyou want to stake out a good spot. The fair has made that a little easier

this year, providing almost twice as muchsitting as the 2015 event.“Other rodeos can run all day and

some are anticlimactic,” White said. “Wetry to pack lots of excitement into aboutan hour and a half.”


Rough Stock returns

Bull riding is just one of the heart-pounding events you can watch at the “Hell onHooves” Rough Stock Rodeo at the Polk County Fair on Thursday night.

Adults arts, crafts bring surprising, unusual exhibitsStrolling through the buildings at

the Polk County Fair, you maynotice artwork and crafts ranging

from handmade cards to interestingsculpture.“I’ve had some really unusual things

through the years, like a leather saddle, akayak, a wood-burned door,” said BarbaraFlugum, arts and crafts superintendent.“Everything that textiles does not, plussome textiles. It’s always a surprise.”Flugum has been the arts and crafts

superintendent for about 10 years, andgot started by looking for volunteeropportunities in her church newsletter.She is a crafter, and prefers quilting.

Flugum enjoys seeing all the entries inthe adult arts and crafts.“I don’t know what I’m going to get,”

she said. “It could be something totallyunusual. Last year, I got a hanging wire, Iguess you’d call it a sculpture, but it wasall the things he’d picked up with histractor and run over. I have a categorycalled ‘recyclables,’ so that fell into there.”Last year, cardmaking was a popular

category, promoted by local clubs.“When I first began, scrapbooking was

the big one,” Flugum said. “I have someyears that jewelry is the big category. I

have some years I get nothing in.”In the arts and crafts — as in other

exhibits throughout the fair — profes-sionals are judged separately, so sheencourages everyone to submit some-thing to the fair.Some years, Flugum said she gets cat-

egories with nothing submitted.“Judges come from outside the county

so as not to have a prejudice for oragainst a particular entrant,” Flugum said.She also hosts a people’s choice award,voted on by anyone who comes to thefair.“Some people are a lot more talented

than they think they are,” Flugum said. “Iwould encourage people to enterwhether they think they’re good enoughor not. The more entries we have, themore interesting it is for the people whocome to the fair.”Along with arts and crafts, fair-goers

can enjoy a peak at canned goods, deco-rated cakes and homemade candies inthe food exhibits. This year, a Pinterestcompetition has been added to the foodcategories — complete with a photo ofthe Pinned item as found on the socialsite, so that you can compare the beforeand after.

The textiles category is one of the many that will be on display at the fair thisweek, showing off the talent of Polk County residents.

Old-fashioned contests try skills from cooking to quiltsFeeling a bit competitive while

having a blast? The Polk CountyFair has you covered with a vari-

ety of colorful contests to take part in.Some, like the Beautiful Baby contest,

are fairgoer favorites from years past. “We try to give as many prizes away as

possible because every baby is pretty,”fair manager Tina Andersen said.

Others are new to the game, includingthe Pinterest contest — which involvesfinding your favorite recipe on Pinterest,making it and printing the pin along withthe recipe to the fairgrounds.

“We either think up new contests orlots of times, the public will ask for a cer-tain contest,” Andersen said.

This year, the contests include cooking(Junior Chef, King of the Cook Stove andQueen of the Kitchen), 4-H — which in-cludes the Monster Cookie, cake decorat-ing, goat costume and livestock — ascarecrow contest, the ATV rodeo, Queenof the Textiles and an Oregon photo con-test.

“The fun part of all our contests arethose that enter and how excited peopleget about their entries,” Andersen said.

Some of the contests will have specialguest judges. Among them include MissOregon SW Natriana Shorter and MissOregon Teen USA Mikaela Bruer as partof the judging team of the Beautiful Babycontest; Rickreall Fire Chief Brad Weaverand Rickreall Fire Capt. Jake Gillins judg-ing the goat costume contest and many,many more.

Official rules and entry forms are avail-

able online at www.co.polk.or.us/fair/annual/2015-fair-contest-flyers-entry-forms.

No fair would be complete without acontest, and the Polk County Fair deliversthem in spades and makes sure thisyear’s fair provides fun and unique chal-lenges to tackle.

“A good contest is one that engages alot of people to enter,” Andersen said.

The beautiful baby contest decideswho is the cutest in several categories.

Cake decorating is one of the manyculinary contests at the fair.

Goat costumes and an obstacle courseare two of the more unusual contests.

Bring your checkbookand credit cards andhead to the Polk County

Fair on Saturday afternoon tobid on livestock at the annualYouth Livestock Auction, pre-sented by the Polk County Live-stock Association.

Youths from 4-H and FFA willshow the animals they’ve beenworking on all year in hopes ofattracting a high price for theirprize livestock.

The experience can be a littleintimidating for the inexperi-enced.

“If it’s your first year, it’s kindof a nervous thing for any kid,”said Sven Olsson, who helps or-ganize the auction. “Whenyou’re 10 years old, walking outwith your animal in front of 150to 200 people, it’s kind of nerve-wracking. The thing that helps isbeing confident and how wellthey handle the animal in theauction ring.”

The auction will again be heldat 3 p.m. on Saturday in the

Swine Barn. The time waschanged last year from anevening event to the afternoon,and turned out to be a goodmove for all involved.

“Usually the auction runs tilllate, and people start to leavewhen there’s still an hour or twoleft,” Olsson said. “Because it wasearlier, the fair wasn’t even

closed by the time we weredone. People looked around thefair and bought food; it wasgreat.”

It wasn’t just fair vendors whobenefited from the earlier starttime.

“It was our highest grossingyear for the auction by about$70,000,” Olsson said. “All thatmoney ends up going back tothe kids, which is great.”

The auction is open to any-one — and people are free todonate, Olsson said.

“You can donate the wholeanimal or sell back the animal,either way you’re supporting the

kids,” he said. “Otherwise, youcan keep it for yourself and havea full freezer for the year.”

He and his wife, Courtney,had more meat than theyknew what to do with last yearwhen they placed the winningbid on the grand championturkey.

“It was 32 pounds dressedout,” Olsson said. “That’s a bigturkey. The breasts were the sizeof tri tips — big tri tips. It washuge. It wouldn’t fit in our oven.We boned it out and had tocook some in the smoker. But itwas one of the best turkeyswe’ve ever had.”

Wine, beer return at new location to fair Beer, wine and cider have a new home at the Polk County Fair, moving to a

venue with a new brick patio and within sight of the Les Schwab Stage. Thepatio was installed partially because some old buildings on the fairgrounds

needed to be removed for safety reasons. They were “being held up by the will ofGod” as Fair Board Chairwoman Anna Scharf characterized it. Coincidentally, the new environment, between the main building and the stage,

was just what beer and wine garden vendor Oregon Beverage Service was lookingfor. “We are trying to make it more open and more inviting, but in a secure area,” said

Carroll Unruh, the owner of Oregon Beverage. This is only the second year alcohol will be served at the fair and Unruh is aware of

the reasons some in the county were wary of including it. He wants to calm thosefears by hosting a beer and wine garden that enhances the fair experience, notdetract from it. “We are actually an alcohol management company,” Unruh said. “We have to pro-

vide a safe environment, and that’s our goal.”Unruh said beer, wine and hard cider options will focus on local breweries and

wineries, including Rogue, Gilgamesh, Hop Valley, Deschutes and Santiam. Two TownsCider out of Corvallis will be featured for the growing hard cider fan base in the area. “We would work with a Polk County focus and fill in from there,” Unruh said, noting,

yes there will be “macro brews” for those who prefer the big brands. Oregon Beverage hosts beer gardens at 22 county fairs across the state and has

seen an increasing volume of craft beer sales.“We embrace the hand-crafted beer more than most companies,” he said. “They

want to see what they consume every day, and hand-crafted beer speaks to Oregon.”The lineup for wine offerings has not been nailed down yet, but Unruh noted there

are plenty Polk County wineries to choose from when filling out the menu.The beer and wine garden will be open from noon to 9:30 p.m. (30 minutes before

the fair closes each night) every day of the Polk County Fair.

Rogue Ales will be on tap at the beer and wine garden at the fair.

Alcoholic beverage garden focuses on local, to offer better view of Les Schwab Stage

D will be kids central at the PolkCounty Fair.

Madjek, Inc., out of Salem, will bereturning with its lineup of inflatablefun, including a slide, bouncy houseand Zorb balls (human-sized hamsterballs on water). New this year is a rockclimbing wall and inflatable mechani-cal bull. The company made its debut in 2015

after the fair couldn’t book a traditionalcarnival. It was a success. “It went really, really well,” said Tina

Andersen, fair manager. “They madethree times the money that the carnivalhas in the past.” Nearby, Rickreall Fire Department will

be holding its popular firefighting obsta-cle course for kids. It’s a great opportuni-ty for children to meet firefighters, try ongear, and race each other through thecourse. Old-fashioned carnival games have

been added to the lineup in the play-ground area, so kids — and theiradults — can test their skills. What has been called the “kids’ safety

area” has moved out of the playgroundarea and into to Building D. The area will

feature information about car seat, bicy-cle and water safety, and drug preven-tion. Children will be taught what to do if

they see a downed power line and see acrash-test dummy. “There’s a whole big hands-on kids’

safety area, and it’s all free,” Andersensaid.

Thanks to a grant from the Siletz Tribe,the area has expanded to a childrens IDbooth, where parents can have their chil-dren fingerprinted and a photo taken foridentification purposes. “It’s something people don’t think

about, but it’s good to have in case theywere to ever disappear,” Andersen said. The $3,705 grant also paid for bicy-

cle helmets, life jackets and car seatsthat will be given away as prizes everyday.“We wouldn’t have been able to put

this together without them,” Andersensaid. Back by popular demand is laser tag,

something Andersen was encouraged toinclude by someone close to her. “I’m really excited about bringing back

laser tag, at the request of my grandson,”she said.

THANKS to all these businesses for

supporting the Polk County Fair!

In three days, the Les Schwab Stage atthe Polk County Fair will host musicalacts with styles ranging from classic rock

to old-time fiddle. “We have a little bit of everything,” said

Tina Andersen, fair manager. Andersen, who has been booking talent at

the fair for many years, has the schedulingdown to a science to fit the theme of eachday. Thursday, senior day, will open with Old

Time Fiddlers in the morning, followed byTribute to Patsy Cline in the afternoon. Theevening will switch gears to high-energycountry band Chris Tardiff & Showdown toclose out the fair after the Rough StockRodeo. Move to the last day of fair when headlin-

er Infamous Soul will close out the eventwith a bang with classic rock — perfect for aSaturday night. Andersen hit a bit of a snag on the Friday schedule, though, after one of the bands

she booked had to cancel. “We put a desperate plea out to talent agents because everybody is booked,”

Andersen said. She got a call from blues artist Ty Curtis’ agent saying he might be able to fill in the

6 p.m. slot before heading into Salem for a 9 p.m. show. Better than just finding a last-minute replacement, the fair was able to pull in a

local favorite. “He’s very popular, so it’s really hard to get him,” she said.
