Over 40 years ago, the folks at Chick-fil-A®
invented the original reason to eat more
chicken. Namely, the world’s first chicken
sandwich. Ever since then, they’ve been
responsible for one tasty chicken creation
after another. And because chicken’s the
healthier choice, the one thing’s for sure:
You’ll get no beef with us.

On the road of life
there are twists and turns.
There are pathways
that are hard to navigate. There are detours.
There are delays. The direction may not always be clear. The way
may not be smooth. The destination may not be in sight. • But along
the way, you will always find people who make the journey a little
easier. You will find just those kinds of people at
The Paducah Bank and Trust Company.

livestock listed previously in this catalog.
2.Each county may have 1 entry per class. An exhibitor may enter only one
class Entomology and one class in Honey.
3.Specifications for exhibits:
a.9” x 13” folding cardboard insect-collection boxes available through UK College
of Agriculture, Department of Entomology, should be used. Homemade
or purchased wooden exhibit boxes may be used instead. They must be
approximately 18” x 24” and not more than 3 1/2” thick with Plexiglas or glass
covers and cellotex pinning bottoms (or plastazote or polyethylene pinning
bottoms available from entomology supply stores such as Bioquip.com). Boxes
must be easily opened (for instance; if a screw is used to secure Plexiglas tops,
use a thumbscrew fastener instead of a fastener that requires a tool).
b.Specimens are to be arranged so the box can be exhibited horizontally.
4-H’ers may attach wires to the back of wooden boxes to help make them
easier to display.
c.Identification labels available from your County Extension Office must be
used, or custom labels may be printed if they conform exactly to the font,
font size, and font color of the official labels. Labels should be printed onto
white cardstock. The exhibit identification card should be placed on the front
of the box (each box). Instructions for pinning and labeling are included in your
project literature.

anywhere in the United States; one half or more must be Kentucky insects
collected since the last Kentucky State Fair.
e.For the first through fifth year projects, a display collection catalog must be
in an envelope attached to the back of the display box. Envelopes should be
attached to permit their being opened easily to remove catalogue from them
without moving the exhibit.
f.Most specimens in the display cases should be pinned, and the use of vials
is discouraged. If vials are used, they may account for no more than 2% of a
collection. Vials must be securely wired or pinned to the pinning bottoms.
g.The inclusion of non-insect specimens (spiders, e.g.) is encouraged, but
because this is primarily an insect collection, and because non-insects do not
preserve well on insect pins, points will be deducted if there are more than one
specimen from each non-insect class.
4.Entomology exhibits are judged on the following categories: Orders, Species,
Common Names, Labels, Condition of Specimens, Overall Appearance, Life Cycle
Representation, Catalog of Specimens. Check with county 4-H Agent for point
distribution on score sheet.
5. Exhibits will be penalized if they do not:
a.Use insect pins for pinning insects.
b.Use the 4-H Entomology identification labels.
c.Use display boxes that are not the official 9” x 13” cardboard boxes acquired

x 24” x 3 1/2”.

TALENT CONTEST
JUNE 27, 2012 • WEDNESDAY 6:00 P.M.
IN GRANDSTAND • PRIZE MONEY PAID
All contestants in the WKYQ/WKYX/McCracken County Fair Talent Contest
will compete on equal terms, however because of the association with the
Kentucky State Fair Coca-Cola Talent Classic the contestants aged 13-21
years will be the only age category eligible to continue to the Kentucky State
Fair. For the age category of 13-21 years, the top 3 entries will continue to the
Kentucky State Fair to compete in the 2012 Coca-Cola Talent Classic.
There are 3 age categories: Ages 4-12, Ages 13-21 (Coca-Cola Winners), Ages
22 and up. First, Second, and Third Place Winners in each of the three age
categories will receive trophies. Overall winners will receive: 1st Place - $300
and Trophy, 2nd Place - $200 and Trophy, 3rd Place - $100 and Trophy
Definition of Categories
Vocal Solo or Group – Shall consist of a performance by a vocalist or vocalists.
An instrumental accompaniment by the performer or others is allowed, but must
assume the pure character of an accompaniment. The test shall be whether
the performance would stand alone if the accompaniment were removed. NO
VOICE, VOICES, CD OR TAPE WITH ANY VOCAL BACKGROUND MAY
BE USED FOR ACCOMPANIMENT. THIS INCLUDES RECORDED LIVE
VOICES THAT ARE PRODUCED AND RECORDED SYNTHETICALLY (I.E.,
SYNTHESIZERS OR DIGITALLY SAMPLED).
Instrumental Solo or Group – Shall consist of a solo or group instrumental
performance without vocal utterance. In instrumental solo, the only
accompaniment allowed is a live or taped acoustical piano. If the instrument
is piano, no accompaniment is allowed. In the use of electronic keyboard, the
contestant must create all sounds live on stage. Contestants are responsible for
their own set up on stage.
Dance Solo and Ensemble Categories – Shall consist of a performance by a
dancer or dancers. Accompanists are permitted on stage, but must not assume
visual importance in the performance. Acrobatics or gymnastics will be judged in
another category. Vocal performances will not be judged.
Acrobatic/Gymnastic Solo or Group – Shall consist of a solo or group
performance. At least 1/3 of the performance must be acrobatics or gymnastics,
but no more than 2/3 of the performance should be acrobatic or gymnastic
movements. This should be a choreographed performance.
Variety – Shall consist of a performance by one or more persons. This category
is intended to provide a proper showcase for those acts which are not listed in
any other category, example: ventriloquist, juggler or comedian. (A vocalist or
vocal group accompanying themselves would not normally meet this test.) All
persons assuming visual importance in the acts must meet the age qualification.
Performers who fit the description of another category may not appear in the
Variety Category.
