“TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE”
AUGUST 7 – 10, 2024
Payette County Fairgrounds New Plymouth, Idaho
Welcome to the 2024 Payette County Fair and Rodeo. We are so excited - this is the 78th Anniversary. Our newly adopted mission statement is “We, the Payette County Fair Board, along with dedicated volunteers, strive to provide educational opportunities, entertainment and family memories in an organized fair event and to develop a year-round public facility for all generations of our community.” Keeping this mission in mind, we have been working hard to bring you some new, fun and exciting changes to the fair. Community fairs like ours are becoming rarer these days, and we want to preserve what the county fair stands for, while continuing to grow and improve our event and facility to meet the needs of future generations. Come enjoy a day at the Fair on Saturday, Aug. 10th. We will have more games, more booths and more free music programs for everyone to enjoy. Come get out of the heat and visit with your friends in the shaded seating areas provided. We encourage people of all ages to bring exhibits for the open class divisions and showcase their talents. Check out awards offered in the Foods, Floral, Crafts and Industrial Arts divisions. Come support the 4-H and FFA youth of this community during their shows and the Market Sale. Thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors who donate their time, talents and resources to making this a great Fair and Rodeo year after year. Remember to keep this Premium Book as it contains the schedule, rules, regulations and information for the Fair. Visit www.payettecountyfair.org for updated information. We hope this year’s Fair provides a memorable experience for all those involved. See you there!

Data will be collected from all beef animals and each carcass will receive a carcass score unless they are taken by an individual where the carcass data can’t be collected. Animals not processed locally will be sent to a participating slaughter facility in order to gather carcass data. Those animals sent to a slaughter facility will receive payment for actual carcass quality. Therefore, exhibitors of those market animals only may receive more or may receive less than anticipated based upon the carcass quality of their market animal. Once all data has been acquired, it will be evaluated and carcass scores determined.

A PCF tagged animal is an extra animal tagged by another FFA or 4-H member at initial weigh-in. The mid-way point of the project is the halfway date between initial weigh-in and fair weigh-in. This will vary between species according to the days on feed. The member must notify the species superintendent/leader/advisor or Extension office within 24 hours of death, and produce the PCF tag. The member has seven days to replace dead animal with a replacement animal (approved and agreed to by the owner) PCF tag must be intact. Or terminate the project for the year. The member must notify the advisor/leader/superintendent/extension staff of the replacement tag number so the list can be updated in a timely manner. If a tagged market beef dies after initial weigh-in and before the swine/sheep/market goat weigh-ins (and the member only weight in one market steer) the member will have the option to weigh in another market animal (swine/sheep/goat) at the spring weigh-in. The member must notify the species superintendent/leader/advisor/Extension office within 24 hours of the death and produce the PCF tag in order to be eligible to weigh in another animal. Exhibitors must present proof of ownership. Brand inspection slips are required on all beef animals.

Open Class
DIVISION A - CANNED FOODS
Chairman – Leisa Beutler
For Safety’s Sake:
Pressure canning is the only recommended method for canning meat, poultry, seafood and vegetables. The bacterium Clostridium botulinum is destroyed in low-acid foods when they are processed at the correct time and pressure in pressure canners. Using boiling water canners for these foods poses a real risk of botulism poisoning.
If Clostridium botulinum bacteria survive and grow inside a sealed jar of food, they can produce a poisonous toxin. Even a taste of food containing this toxin can be fatal. Boiling food 10 minutes at altitudes below 1,000 ft destroys this poison when it is present. For altitudes at and above 1,000 ft, add 1 additional minute per 1000 ft additional elevation. Caution: To prevent the risk of botulism, low-acid and tomato foods not canned according to the recommendations in this publication or according to other USDA-endorsed recommendations should be boiled as above, even if you detect no signs of spoilage. All low-acid foods canned according to the approved recommendations may be eaten without boiling them when you are sure of all the following:
1. Food was processed in a pressure canner.
2. Gauge of the pressure canner was accurate.
3. Up-to-date researched process times and pressures were used for the size of jar, style of pack, and kind of food being canned.
4. The process time and pressure recommended for sterilizing the food at your altitude was followed.
5. Jar lid is firmly sealed and concave.
6. Nothing has leaked from jar.
7. No liquid spurts out when jar is opened.
8. No unnatural or “off” odors can be detected.
Do your Canned Foods Pass This Test?
Overall appearance
Good proportion of solid to liquid : Full pack with proper headspace: Liquid just covering solid : Free of air bubbles : Free of imperfections (stems, cores, seeds) : Good Seals : Practical pack that is done quickly and easily
Fruit and vegetables
Pieces uniform in size and shape : Characteristic, uniform color : Shape retained - not broken or mushy : proper maturity.
Liquid or Syrup
Clear and free from sediment
Determining Your Altitude above Sea Level
It is important to know your approximate elevation or altitude above sea level in order to determine a safe processing time for canned foods. Since the boiling temperature of liquid is lower at higher elevations, it is critical that additional time be given for the safe processing of foods at altitudes above sea level. If you are unsure about the altitude where you will be canning foods, consult your county extension agent.
Rules:
1. Canned foods must be in standard canning jars, except Sections F & G. Entries will be judged according to Ball, Kerr & USDA regulations.
2. Entries to be considered for awards must use Kerr or Ball jars and lids. Entries must have been canned in the last year.
3. One entry per lot per person.
4. Entry must be sole work of exhibitor.
5. On bottom of jar list process method, processing time, variety, kind and date of canning. If pressure canned, list pounds of pressure, time processed and type of gauge, include source used to determine pressure and time.
6. Exhibits may be opened by judges.
7. Rings are to be left on jars, but must be loosened.
8. Mark “sugarless” entries.
9. Only one exhibit may be entered under “other”. If you have a fair worthy entry, bring it to a clerk and a new category will be made.
10. Please read General Rules. Altitude here is 2,200 feet.

Help Support our Youth with their
Goat - Swine - Beef – Sheep - Market Poultry Projects!
Businesses or individuals have three great ways to contribute:
Support Option #1-Buyer purchases and takes possession (for consumption) any beef, sheep or swine animal. Buyers pay their bid and enjoy top quality meat.
Support Option #2-Buyer purchases animal, but does not take possession. Buyer pays the difference between the floor price and their bid. Example: Your bid of $1.00 per lb. X weight of 100 lbs. = $100.00. Floor price of $.50 per lb. X 100 lbs. = $50. You pay $50.00.
Support Option #3-Buyer can add-on cash amount toward any animal(s). Example: $10 to every beef animal. These requests must be made on a special voucher form prior to the start of the sale. No add-ons will be taken at the sale ring.
We would love to see you at our sale, but if you are unable to attend, please contact one of the following to leave a bid: Fair Office 278-5000 or any Fair Board member.
