RULES
Entries are limited to one entry per class for each exhibitor. 4-H Exhibitors must be 4-H members, with a project in the field in which they wish to make entry and be under the supervision of Pennsylvania State University Cooperative Extension Service by July 1^st preceding the Fair. Premiums will not be awarded in any class unless the exhibits are of optimum maturity and free of defect and soil. Judges may withhold any premiums for lack of merit or award second or third premiums only if deemed best. Misnamed varieties will not be considered eligible for premiums. In selecting vegetables for exhibition, choose such specimens that would bring the highest market prices. Do not select the largest (EXCEPT FOR LARGEST POTATO CLASS); select medium size specimens. Avoid mixing varieties. The following factors are used by the vegetable judges. · Trueness to variety type. Pick specimens from one variety. · Uniformity in size, shape and color. · Pick out a perfect specimen; then select others as similar to it as possible. Never mix specimens or varying maturities. · Protect from dirt, disease, infection and mechanical damage. Select specimens that are perfect and show no blemishes of any kind. · Condition and maturity. Be sure exhibits are of high quality. · Potatoes should not be washed. Remove soil using a soft cloth or brush. · Tomatoes should have stems removed; carrots, beets, etc. should have tops (leaves) removed leaving about 2 inches of stem. Read all Premium Material carefully and follow all rules and regulations. Changes have been made to the Vegetable Department/Sections. Exhibits will be disqualified if entered other than instructed.
