Enter a Competition at the 2009 Williamson County Fair
presented by Tractor Supply Company
Plan now to enter the Williamson County Fair presented by Tractor Supply Company competitions in August…this catalogue contains the information and rules for all the competitive events at the 2009 Fair to be held August 7–15 at Ag EXPO Park in Franklin.
First, read the General Rules and Guidelines; then turn to the Department in which you are interested where you will find the specifics for that department. If you still have questions, call the chairperson for additional help. Look for Pre-entry dates…in some cases pre-registration is required several weeks prior to the fair. Entry forms are in the center of this book. Be sure your form is postmarked by the deadline. Having pre-entry data helps volunteers to plan for space and material needs. In some cases classes are judged and displayed prior to the fair.
You will also find an “Entry Time” for each event so that you will know when to arrive with your entries. Once you arrive at the fairgrounds you will get a “fair ID” and be directed to the right place. The “Release Time” for each item lets you know when to pick up your items or when you may leave.
Volunteers are working to make this entry process as efficient as possible. A fair is only as good as its exhibits and participating exhibitors!! There is something for everyone…you can help us to make this fair the best ever!!

Rules & Regulations1. Amateur winemakers residing in Williamson County or who are members of the
Tennessee Viticulture Oenological Society are eligible to enter non-commercial TN wines.2. An amateur winemaker makes wine either alone or in collaboration with
other winemakers. If there is collaboration, all persons must be named on the entry form and are considered one entrant. Because this is an AMATEUR competition, no individual or any member of the group should be directly involved in commercial winemaking. Commercial winemaking is a business enterprise certified as a bonded winery, authorized by BATF for the production
�8
and sale of wine. Any persons who own, manage, supervise or are receiving any form of compensation (money, grapes, wine, etc.) for being involved with the operation of any non-residential wine making facility (wine school, wine club, etc.) may NOT enter the Williamson County Fair Wine Competition.
3. Fruits/juices must be home prepared and be free of artificial coloring or flavor enhancers other than oak.
4. Two 750 mL bottles (two 375 mL bottles for Ice Wines) of each wine entry must be submitted in corked or capped bottles for every wine entered. No entries will be returned.
5. Only one entry per class per entrant.6. Judges evaluate wine on color, clarity, bouquet, flavor and overall presentation
(exclusive of the label, bottle, etc.)7. Amateur winemakers may not use the facilities or products, other than juice
(which may be sulfited), of a commercial winery during any stage of wine preparation and/or storage of the wine.
8. The number of entries is limited to a maximum of twelve (12) wines per entrant. Twelve (12) wines from a husband and twelve (12) wines from his wife will NOT be allowed. An entrant may submit only one (1) wine in any sub-category except for the “Other” category where more than one (1) can be submitted, if each wine is of a different variety. A wine that has received an award in a previous Williamson County Fair Competition is not eligible.
9. Wine Classification Rules include the following:a. Grape varieties as varietals are classified as Vinifera, Hybrid, and Native.
The origin of many Native varieties is unknown because of spontaneous hybridization. These grapes will be classified as Native in this competition.
b. Wines entered as varietals should contain at least 75% of that variety and should not be blended with any other varieties that markedly alter the primary varietal characteristics of that wine. For Vinifera/Hybrid, Hybrid/Native, etc see “Blends” description.
c. Varietals less than 75% should be entered as “Blends”.d. No wine shall be accepted if it contains more than 25% of any grape
variety of the same vintage from which another wine was made which is entered in any other category or subcategory, with the exception that the same varietal wine can be entered in the Aperitif/Dessert, Rose (for Red varieties) or Sparkling categories if it is the result of a separately fermented batch.
10. “Blends” that include grape wine and fruit wine must be entered in the Fruit category. Fruit or non-grape wines which are sparkling or fortified must be entered in the respective Sparkling or Aperitif/Dessert categories.
11. All wines judged will be judged according to their relative merits within the class. The “BEST OF SHOW” winner will be that wine which is clearly superior in its class and has an overall enological excellence that surpasses all other wines in the competition.
12. It is the responsibility of the entrant to ship or deliver the entry wines in good condition. A sheet of personalized labels for the bottles will be mailed back to
A G R I C U L T U R E

MEMORANDUM
TO: Fair Officials
FROM: Philip Gordon, D.V.M. Assistant State Veterinarian
DATE: March ��, 2009
Special Comments:
1. Health certificates issued in satisfaction of these Tennessee Fair Regulations shall be good for 90 days for Tennessee livestock only. Please note the additional requirements listed below for the Knoxville Spring Junior Cattle Exposition and the Tennessee Junior Livestock Exposition and associated shows (county and district).
2. As noted in the enclosed health requirements, Tennessee requires that all poultry assembled at shows or exhibitions be accompanied by evidence of a negative test for Pullorum-Typhoid within 90 days or originate directly from a flock which has been certified as Pullorum-Typhoid Clean under the Tennessee Poultry Improvement Plan. As per last year’s testing guidelines, on-site testing of poultry is no longer allowed. As part of increased awareness and surveillance for Avian Influenza and other poultry diseases, all birds physical health appearance should be assessed at the time testing is conducted. Testing must be completed prior to commingling with birds of other ownership.
3. Any “chick chain” birds that have been commingled with birds of unknown disease status must test negative for Pullorum-Typhoid prior to entry.

4. Please note that exhibition requirements for out-of-state livestock are the same as regular import requirements.
5. Requirements for the Junior Livestock Exposition in Murfreesboro (beef) and sheep consigned to the Junior Livestock Exposition in Cookeville must meet the following requirements:
• Health Requirements: Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) will be required for every animal exhibited at the Knoxville Spring Junior Cattle Exposition and the Tennessee Junior Livestock Exposition and associated shows (county and district). It is expected that junior exhibitors will bring only healthy animals to the Expos. The Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) must be dated within 45 days of the respective show. All animals are subject to being inspected after arrival at the show facilities and any with clinical signs of contagious disease will be sent home immediately. Certificate(s) of Veterinary Inspection are to accompany the animal(s) to the respective shows.
• All sheep that show in EXPO must have approved ear tags. Any sheep that are to be exhibited in any show (including Commercial Ewes and Market Lamb) will be required to have an approved Scrapie Program ear tag in their ear. This will apply to the sheep shown in the Tennessee Junior Livestock EXPO. This must be done in accordance with the guidelines provided by USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the rules of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. Note: Wethers are no longer exempt from the Scrapie identification requirements.
• Exhibitors who have breeding flocks will be required to have official USDA
identification in order to show or to sell ewe or ram lambs for exhibition and/or breeding. This is done by filling out the appropriate form to obtain a flock/premise identification number and ear tags. Existing flock identification numbers may be allowed if properly registered. If this has not already been done, it is recommended that it be done as soon as possible.
• Exhibitors who purchase the ewes they will show must be certain the ewes have been tagged by the breeder (flock of birth). Avoid purchasing ewes to exhibit if they don’t have approved ear tags.
6. Warts and ringworm are considered contagious and infectious diseases and are permissible exclusions only if considered inactive by the issuing veterinarian and noted as such on the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection.
7. Scabies, contagious ecthyma (soremouth), footrot, cutaneous fungal and bacterial infections (i.e. club lamb disease, caseous lymphadenitis) are considered contagious and infectious diseases, and are permissible
