Support Classes — Sport Mods and American Iron Racing Series 8

JERRY FRASIER Jerry started performing at a young age in Duluth, Minnesota. He designed, built and produced his first large-scale illusion show at 16 and has been entertaining audiences all over America ever since. If you ask him, he would say that he’s doing what he was meant to do, both practically and creatively, from the beginning: bringing out the best in people – whether that is his wife and three children, or his family and friends, or an audience of 500! My show is fast and fun, but it’s only purposeful and entertaining to the degree that it connects with people in a real way and makes a lasting memory, he says. Inspired by the energy of Broadway in the early 1980’s, Jerry honed his performance skills and interactive style on the east coast and turned full-time as a comedian/magician in 1989. His study of theatrical stage movement, commedia dell’™arte, improvisation and acting at Hofstra University in New York, combined with a B.A. in English and Communications from Ursinus College, a prestigious liberal arts school in Philadelphia, establishes Jerry as an actor, director and teacher. After college, and before hitting the road professionally, he was fortunate enough to get a job as a high school English and Drama teacher where he could create lessons, almost like constructing routines, as well as direct numerous plays throughout the year. Jerry acknowledges the fine training the classroom was for him, “I believe all good teachers are good entertainers, being dedicated and passionate communicators on multiple levels.” To keep fresh and current, he continues to teach comprehensive magic, public speaking and theater workshops. In addition to performing in his one-man show, Jerry writes and does graphic design, and video production. He is working on a new project that teaches a methodology of incorporating visual media in presentations and group communication. 9

4-H/FFA GENERAL LIVESTOCK RULES 1. Should general and special rules conflict, the latter will govern. Exhibitors failing to comply with any of the rules are subject to all premium cancellations, disqualification from future participation in the Cedar County Fair. Interpretation of rules, when necessary shall be the responsibility of the fair show superintendents 2. Only livestock projects, which have been enrolled by the exhibitor and identified in 4honline by the designated deadline of May 15 (February 1 for market beef and May 1 for swine) may be exhibited. This applies to all animals with the exception of pets, rabbits and poultry which need to be identified by June 30. All livestock must meet ownership/possession identifications and requirements outlined in 4-H 202. Joint members partnership entries will not be accepted with the exception of horses as outlined in 4-H 202. Animals can NOT be identified as both 4-H and FFA. Animals can NOT be identified by more than one 4-H/FFA member. 3. Animals offered for sale in an auction are considered to have changed ownership even if bought back by the original owner or if the owner refuses a bid or says “No Sale”. All animals offered for sale are terminated as 4-H projects. 4. First and Second place winners in individual classes are eligible to compete for Championships and Reserve Championships, provided they received a purple or blue award. 5. Exhibitors in 4-H classes are not eligible to exhibit in a similar department of the FFA divisions or vice-versa. 6. Animals must be shown as identified – 4-H or FFA not both. 7. No member will be eligible for this show who does not take entire charge and care of the project in the show ring except in case of illness or for some reason approved by the superintendents of show. This show is an educational event. It is designed to train 4-H members to properly fit their animals and exhibit his or her animal without aid. 8. All 4-H/FFA Beef, Dairy Cattle, Dairy Goat, Meat Goat, Poultry, Rabbit, Sheep and Swine exhibitors must be certified through the FSQA (Food Safety and Quality Assurance) Program. 9. Animals with disposition problems may be asked to leave the fair grounds at the discretion of the fair show superintendents. 10. SUBSTITUE SHOWMAN – Excusing a member from personally exhibiting his/her animal(s) defeats one of the important objectives of 4-H work. Hence, the Management does not approve the use of substitute showmen except in extreme cases: if a member is injured or is seriously ill at the time of the show or is involved in another fair activity with a non flexible schedule at which their presence is mandatory. In the case of military obligations, official orders must be on file in the Extension Office prior to the start of the fair. Participation in school or school activities will not be considered. For those who are ill or injured, a doctor’s note is highly recommended. The substitute showman must be an eligible Cedar County 4-H or FFA member and approved in advance of the show by fair show superintendents and/or the Extension Office. An exhibitor, who has more than one animal in a class, need not secure approval for another eligible showman to exhibit one of his/her animals. However, it is expected such cases will be brought to the attention of the clerk checking animals into the check-in area or show ring. 89

A member may enter as many classes as they qualify for. All dogs exhibited must have current rabies certificates (or titer results) and must be presented (or uploaded) before attending class and the show. Failure to present certificate means you can’t attend class with your dog and leads to show disqualification. Dogs shown in obedience or agility cannot show in the pet show. Youth should attend dog obedience, handling, and/or agility classes either through 4-H or other training. It is required that youth attend 50% of the clinics (or other training classes) offered prior to fair to exhibit. Current rabies certificate is required to attend classes.
