SCRAMBLE DIVISION

 

CHAIRMAN: DARLA SEALE

 

A CONTESTANT MUST BE 12 YEARS OF AGE BY SEPTEMBER 1, 2010 AND WEIGH AT LEAST 100 POUNDS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SCRAMBLE.  The EMCFA Scramble committee will give sponsorships of $350.00.  The sponsorship is $400.00 with the Fair to deduct $50.00 to be used for the purchase of the pictures and other items required for the Scramble program.  Participants will turn their applications and a 250-word essay on why they would like to participate in the scramble into their Advisors or 4-H leaders, who will then submit selected applicants to the Chairman of the Scramble Committee.  Selected contestants will scramble for a calf in the EMC Fair. Contestants who catch a calf or receive a hard luck sponsorship will be allowed to choose either a goat, lamb, or pig to select at the EMCFA selection. The purchase price of the animal will be deducted from the $350.00 sponsorship.  The EMCFA Calf Scramble committee will pay the $5.00 entry fee.  The remaining sponsorship funds will be paid in equal payments, with the first payment paid on the day of selection and the remaining payments on the 10th of each month, with the last payment to be paid on September 7, 2010.  The official starting date of the projects will be June 1st.  The participants will be required to turn in three monthly packets.  The first will be due on July 1st, second by August 1st, and third by September 1st.  Each packet will contain a copy of the monthly expense report, the daily work log sheet, pictures of the project, and a letter to the Sponsor.  It is the scrambler’s responsibility to turn in the packets on time.  The scramble committee will not request or remind scramblers to turn in their reports.  Any sponsored exhibitor that fails to turn in the packet within ten (10) days after the due date will have their sponsorship terminated and will not be allowed to show the sponsored animal at the EMC Fair, and the animal will be picked up and returned to the Scramble Committee for disposal.  On August 26, 2010, the exhibitor will be required to turn in a 750-word essay.  THEY WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER THIS DATE. 

The exhibitor will be required to provide, a decorated pictorial board and a scrapbook for exhibit at the Fair. The pictorial board will be a sheet of plywood measuring 4 feet in width, 8 feet in height, and 4 feet in depth, displaying the sponsor’s name and a pictorial record of their project. The exhibitor must also furnish an item for the scrapbook to be displayed on that does not extend more than 4 feet from the board.  The pictorial board and the scrapbook will remain property of the exhibitor. The exhibitor is required to have their pictorial board and scrapbook set up on SEPTEMBER 14, 2010 from 4:00p.m. To 6:30p.m.  It is recommended that the scrapbook and any removable items be removed from the display each night and returned each day by the exhibitor, (See General Rule #4).

 

All sponsored contestants that fulfill their responsibilities and obligations upon check-in at the EMC Fair, will be given full ownership of their project.   

 

The contestants will be graded according to their monthly packets, pictorial board, scrapbook, and final essay. 

An award will be presented to first, second, and third place contestants. The amount of the award shall be based on a sponsored donation made to the Scramble Committee. Parent/Guardian and exhibitors are required to remain out of the display area during the judging of the pictorial boards and scrapbooks.  Pictorial boards must be picked up on Sunday, September 19, 2010 by 1:00p.m.
