The Humboldt County Agricultural District No. 3 is pleased to carry on a tradition dating back to 1885 through its production of the Tri-County Fair & Stampede. The Nevada Legislature created the Ag District #3 Rodeo Board, 127 years ago for the purpose of sponsoring an annual fair. The Tri-County Fair & Stampede has remained a northern Nevada favorite for many years because the event offers something for just about everyone.

From Friday through Sunday, there will be competition in more than twenty different divisions. Additionally, the Labor Day rodeo will offer western style excitement and action for the 91st year in a row at the Winnemucca Events Complex.

The Carnival will thrill kids and adults alike. Contests for the kids include the Winnemucca Farms potato critter competition, the annual Mini-Construction Contest and coloring and writing events.

The watermelon and pie eating contests will return. In addition, there are plenty of craft and garden displays. The annual 4-H Livestock Show and Sale will showcase the animal projects and efforts of the area youth.

The entire weekend is a favorite with many folk from the Humboldt County, Lander County, and Pershing County areas. The goal of the Ag District No. 3 members has always been to offer up family entertainment, good food and the chance to renew old acquaintances and make new ones.

You are invited and encouraged to enjoy this long standing tradition and be a part of the continuing success of this remarkable event.

Sincerely;

O. Kent Maher, President Agricultural District No. 3

Welcome to the 2012Tri-County Fair & Stampede!

How to Fill Out Your Entry Form1. Start an entry form by completing the information at the top of

the entry form. We need your name, address, city, state, zip code, county and phone number. Also check the category in which you will be exhibiting. If you are exhibiting in Open Youth or 4-H, please list your age. Please fill out forms completely and legibly.

2. List the Division, Class Number, Lot Number and Class Description for any entry in the “other” description. (See sample on the inside back cover.) Use a separate line for each entry. Use a separate form for 4-H entries and Open Youth entries. For 4-H entries, also add the project year for each item in the Class Description. That way the judges will be able to tell what your skill level is for a particular project.

3. Where Lot is "Other", list the description of your item on the entry form in the Class Description section.

4. Be sure to read the requirements for each Division you are entering. Some of these have changed from previous years. Judges will penalize items that do not follow requirements.

5. If you are not sure you are entering an item correctly, please feel free to call the Convention Center at 623-5071 ext. 102 or after hours at 421-1366.

6. Deliver or mail your entry form prior by the Pre-Entry Deadline. Due to a time crunch we will not be able to accept entry forms later than Friday, August 24, 2012 at 5:00 pm.

7. Bring your entries to the Event Complex Exhibit Hall Meeting Room on Tuesday, August 28 from Noon to 7 pm or Wednesday, August 29 from 8 am to 10:30 am. Perishable items such as Floriculture, or Fruits & Veggies may be checked in on Thursday, August 30 from Noon to 5 pm.
