LOT 1 - HERBS

ENTRY FEE: $0.25 (cents)

All entries in this department must be in place by 4:30 pm deadline on Monday, July 30, 2007, for judging to be held at 5:30 p.m., and remain there until 8:00 pm the last night of the fair. YOU MUST have claim tags to remove entries.

All herbs MUST BE FRESH.

No herbs are to exceed 14 inches in height.

All herbs are to be 1 stem except where noted.

Herbs that can be sub-grouped, such as mint, oregano, thyme, basil, etc. MUST be labeled on the exhibitors tag as to the specific type… spearmint, lavender mint, lemon thyme. This allows the judge to know the type of herb being displayed and that the exhibitor knows what he/she is growing.

One of the criteria that the judge will use in judging the herbs is by noting the quality of the leaves or petals. Picking off damaged leaves or petals improves the quality of the specimens.

Herb Wreath - with exception of a straw, wire or grapevine base, the entire wreath should consist of fresh or dried HERBS ONLY. The wreath must be equipped to hang.

Herb Vinegar is to be displayed in a CLEAR glass bottle not less than 12 oz. Label exhibitor’s tag (and decorative tag, if used) with name/type of vinegar. Bring sample in small glass jar for judge to taste.

All Herbs must be labeled to identify the specific type in order to be JUDGED.

SUGGESTED ADVICE FOR EXHIBITORS

All blooms should be cut after sundown before exhibition day and seasoned in cool water in a cool place with no drafts.

All blooms should be cut with stems long enough to put the bloom from 2 to 6 inches above the container according to size of bloom. A little foliage showing often enhances the exhibit. BE SURE TO KEEP FOLIAGE OUT OF THE

WATER. A CUT FLOWER FOOD ADDED TO THE WATER WILL PROLONG FRESHNESS. DON’T CROWN THE BLOOM, BETTER TO USE A LARGER CONTAINER. Matched bloom in size and color always counts, except in arrangements. When schedule calls for a certain number of bloom, be sure you use that EXACT NUMBER!
