Ten Principles For Parents Of Fair Exhibitors

THOU SHALT NOT feed, train, and care for the animal, for
thou are trying to teach the child responsibility and discipline.

THOU SHALT forgive a child for making mistakes in the show
ring, for thou hath made mistakes too.

THOU SHALT NOT get mad when thy child forgets items for the
show box, for one day thou may forget the show box.

THOU SHALT help the show management, for they are doing job
thou would not want to do.

THOU SHALT be sure that thy child is on time for all fair
activities, for thou would not want to wait on another.

THOU SHALT be sure that thy child has projects ready and
registration papers in order by the designated time.

THOU SHALT teach the child that winning a blue ribbon is a
desirable goal, but making friends along the way is a more worthy
goal.

THOU SHALT NOT complain about the judge, for it is his opinion
that has been sought.

THOU SHALT remember that livestock projects are teaching
projects, not necessarily money making projects.

THOU SHALT remember that 4-H is a family organization and shall
be enjoyed by the entire family.

WELCOME TO THE
     MACON COUNTY TOWN & COUNTRY FAIR
        We are looking forward to seeing you at the 2018 Macon County Town & Country Fair. This fair
promises to be a fine exposition of the work of the youth of Macon and surrounding counties. Special
THANKS go to the SPONSORS AND CONTRIBUTORS, THE MACON COUNTY PARK BOARD,
        EXTENSION STAFF, FFA ADVISORS, 4-H LEADERS, DEPARTMENT
        SUPERINTENDENTS, AND PROJECT CHAIRPERSONS. Your suppor t indicates the sincer e
desire for a successful and educational fair.
        We look forward to this year's Macon County Town & Country Fair and believe everyone in the county
can look with pride to this exposition.
        The fair board encourages participation in youth development organizations and exhibition
representing those respective groups. It is the belief of the fair board that membership and participation
in these organizations promotes leadership development, life skill development, decision-making skills,
social skills, self-confidence and self-esteem. The development of such skills will allow young people to
lead richer and fuller lives.
