RAVALLI COUNTY FAIR IS KEEN ON POETRY AND ART!
☼ ▪ ▪ ▪ ☼ ▪ ▪ ▪ ☼ ▪ ▪ ▪ ☼▪ ▪ ▪ ☼
Carnival Lights
By Dominic "Flominic" Farrenkopf
Inspired by Phil Connelly’s 2016 Fair Theme
At the end of our summer
as it slowly fades away,
I wind my way to the fairgrounds
where I’ll spend the whole day.
I walk through the exhibits
and all the animal barns,
play Lion’s Bingo
then watch the fiber artists make yarns.
I get a Pink Lady apple
and some Boy Scout ice cream
then walk through the vendor booths
where the entrepreneurs scheme.
Next I stand in line
for an all-day carnival ride pass.
I stand right out as
I’m of the senior citizen class.
I start with the Tilt-A-Whirl,
it’s my favorite ride.
A boy takes the middle
his dad and I take the outside.
I ride the Paratrooper
and Yo-Yo as a single,
to find a Zipper partner
I merely have to mingle.

There’s always a high school pair
where one will ‘chicken out.’
I’ll ride with the brave one,
together we’ll holler and shout.
DEADLINE FOR ENTRY IS FRIDAY, AUG. 12, 2016.
I’ll pop balloons with darts
and try to shoot out the red star
and convince the carnie
I still fit in the Dragon’s car.
NEW THIS YEAR—Coloring for Adults!
My wife always finds me
a couple hours after dark,
after the carnival, on this old man,
has left a mark.
My last ride of the night
is always the Ferris Wheel.
My wife and I ride together
it’s our little deal.
Because after all these years,
inside I’m still just a kid
so I take my wife up
just like I always did.
She giggles at the top
when I scooch over for a kiss.
Just us, alone, in the night sky—
now that’s carnival bliss!
I can think of no better way
to spend my western nights
than at The Ravalli County Fair…
under carnival lights!

do so through the Superintendent or Clerk and must not interfere with the
Judge, or the Exhibitor will be disqualified.

Reserve Champion of each breed.
At the discretion of the Judge, where there is no competition in an age group,
but an animal shown is of Grand Champion quality, the Judge may designate it
as an animal qualified for Grand Champion competition.
All animals occupying exhibit pens must be kept thoroughly groomed, cleaned
and in show condition at all times. Stalls and pens must be neatly kept and
supplied with necessary bedding. Pathways and approaches must be kept
clean for the spectators. Manure and waste must be deposited in designated

of this show. The show will be judged by
the rules of the American Dahlia Society
and North American Gladiolus Council by
judges of the American Dahlia Society,
North American Gladiolus Council and the
National Garden Club, Inc.
ENTRY INFORMATION: Entry tags will be
available at the floral building. Dahlia and
Glad tags are unique and are to be used
only for this Show. Entries are open to
members of the American Dahlia Society,
North American Gladiolus Council,
members of any dahlia or glad society,
and to all persons eligible to enter the
Ravalli County Fair.
General Rules
1. Each Exhibitor must register at the show
to obtain an Exhibitor’s number. Signing
the register indicates agreement to
abide by the following rules:
2. All dahlia and glad entries must be in
place and be ready for judging by 9:30
a.m. on Friday September 2, 2016.
3. Exhibitors may enter through West Gate
beginning at 6 a.m. to place entries.
Please drive in, unload and remove car
to outside of gate before placing
entries.
Entry tags will be provided for all
Exhibitors for all entries. Please note that
different tags are used for dahlias and
gladiolus. Please use 5 Valleys Show
tags. We will be happy to mail out of
town guest tags in advance. Contact
jimsadler@bresnan.net or call Jim at
406-728-4743.
Entry tags not fully filled out will

digit classification for dahlias; see chart
below.
Containers will be supplied for all
exhibits except for arrangements,
bouquets, and bowls.
The Show Committee reserves the right
to reject any entry. The Show
Committee may also make additions or
changes in the rules which are deemed
necessary for the proper conduct of the
show. Any rules so made shall be as
binding as though they were a
published part of these rules (they may
not alter the Judge’s decisions).
A second place award may be given
by Judges when an entry is considered
unworthy of a first place award.
Judges decisions are final.
5 Valleys Dahlia & Glad Society and the
Ravalli County Fair are not responsible for
any loss or damage during the show.
Dahlia Show Rules
Skill Divisions:
1) Student: (White Tags) This is the division
for any Exhibitor 19 years or younger.
These student entries will be judged
according to the Danish System. If a
student wishes, and their skill level
merits, they may exhibit in novice,
advanced or open.
2) Novice: (Blue Tags) This is the starting
point for a beginning adult Exhibitor.
Dahlia Society members may show at
this level for a maximum of three (3)
years. The Exhibitor may elect to
advance after one or two years if skill
merits.
3. Advanced: (Pink Tags) This division is
for the Exhibitor with skills beyond the
beginning Exhibitor. The Exhibitor
understands flower staging, grows
named varieties, and can correctly
and completely fill out the entry tag.
Those entering in this division may
remain until they win rosettes, then
they are expected to advance to the
open division.
4. Open: (Yellow Tags) This division is for
experienced Exhibitors who have been
consistent winners of higher awards.
There is also a service component to
this level in that the open Exhibitors are
expected to use their skills to help
beginner and advanced Exhibitors
27
become competent with the showing
process. An open Exhibitor may drop
in level if unable to show flowers for
two or more years due to work, school,
family responsibilities, etc. In this
instance, please contact the show
committee for correct division
assignment.
The Exhibitor alone will be held responsible
for correctly and completely filling out the
entry tag. Fill out both the TOP and
BOTTOM sections of the provided entry
tags. Omissions or mis-identifications
could cause an exhibit not to be judged.
1. All dahlia exhibits must be grown and
staged by the Exhibitor. Exception:
entries in the “Artistic Design” Division
may be grown by someone other than
the Exhibitor.
2. Blooms must be shown disbudded with
at least one set of true leaves. Exhibits
with more than one set of true leaves
will not be rewarded or penalized by
the judges. Exhibits must be shown
with the pair of true leaves above the
foam or stabilizing material in the
container. Entries with leaves buried in
the foam will be set back and
disqualified. Exception: blooms used
in baskets, bouquets, bowls, and
arrangements may be displayed with
or without leaves.
3. The current edition of the “American
Dahlia Society Classification and
Handbook of Dahlias” shall be used for
the description of the dahlia exhibits.
Dahlias not listed in the current edition
will be classified by the most recent
ADS Composite Listing of Dahlias.
4. In horticulture exhibits artificial support
for the dahlia bloom above the
container is prohibited and will be
penalized. The dahlia bloom, stem,
and leaves may not be supported,
assisted, or altered by tape, pins, super
glue or any other type of artificial
material. The use of any artificial
materials will result in automatic
disqualification for that exhibit.
5. Disseminated dahlias when entered as
classified into competition in ADS
shows are not to be disqualified if
oversized or undersized, nor will the
dahlia receive premium/penalty points
for being oversized or undersized. The
dahlia bloom is to be judged on its
own merits.
6. In horticulture exhibits an Exhibitor may
not “double enter” the same cultivar
by entering them in two different skill
divisions. The Exhibitor is encouraged
to exhibit the same cultivar in different
ways i.e., single, triple, bouquet, bowl,
design, basket, collection, etc.
7.
Exhibitors growing flowers in the same
garden(s) must show in the same skill
division. This division will be at the
highest skill level achieved by any one
member of this group.
8. Exhibitors are encouraged to exhibit at
the correct skill division (student,
novice, advanced, open). Exhibitors
may not skip or drop to lower divisions
for competitive advantage. Exhibitors
are encouraged to move up into a
more advanced division as they
become more experienced.
