Chairman’s Message The 2012 Otero County Fair, with its focus on the state’s centennial, was a nice success. Attendance was on par with other years even though the weather did not cooperate. The Junior Livestock Sale proceeds were better than the year before and the Ranch Rodeo was well attended. This year, the Ranch Rodeo will be held earlier in the summer before the Fair in order to allow more opportunity for the public to participate in all the events of the fair. The Fairboard is hopeful the new bleacher seating will be in place for the events in the arena. We thought this would be the case for last year’s Fair, but our efforts got mired in the bureaucracy. Election of Fairboard members occurred in late 2012. Longtime member Wayne Leslie opted not to seek re-election for personal reasons. Jeff Haden was elected in Wayne’s position. We welcome Jeff, a long time participant and supporter of the Fair, and wish Wayne the best in his endeavors. Wayne has always been a hard worker and valuable Fairboard member. Our Fair continues to be the largest event in Otero County every year. The successful conduct of the Fair could not occur if it were not for the many loyal volunteers and the solid support from the county residents and business community. We appreciate this support and look forward to a great fair in 2013 and years to come.

2013 Fair and Rodeo Queen

My name is Nicole Nelson. I am the daughter of Jerry and Robert Nelson. I live happily in Otero County with my family, friends, and my lovable pets that have supported me in all of my “Dream Come True’s”. Having just graduated from High School, I have competed in varsity swimming, marching band, athletic training, and my personal favorite, rodeo. Now I will adventurously move out and attend NMSU in Las Cruces to pursue an athletic training degree while competing for higher Rodeo Queen titles.

Fair and Rodeo Queen Contest Entry Deadline — Monday, June 17 Contact Joan Howland at 437-9884 Conduct The Otero County Fair and Rodeo Queen and contestants serve as ambassadors of Otero County to the general public, portraying excellence in sportsmanship, high moral and ethical character, and reflect careful and humane treatment of animals. She is expected to act, speak and dress according to the prestige the title deserves at all times. Eligibility Each Queen contestant must: be at least 17 and not more than 23 years of age by August 31 of the year of competition; have been a resident of Otero County for 12 consecutive months prior to the entry date; and, have never been married or pregnant, and, if selected Queen, must surrender the title if she marries or becomes pregnant or for any reason not be able to fulfill her obligations, in which case the title passes to the 1 st Runner-Up in that year’s contest. Entry Entry dates will be announced through the various media, and entry deadlines will not be extended. Each entry must be accompanied by: an essay stating your intent and reason you would like to be our Queen; fifty dollars ($50.00); two (2) studio-style 5x7 color pictures (head and shoulder pose); and a completed application form. A minimum of two (2) contestants are required by the deadline in order for a Queen Contest this year. Division of Judging The number of judges may vary from year to year, but will be no less than three (3). Categories of judging include, but are not limited to, personality and horsemanship. Judging will also occur in public speaking, appearance and modeling. Each contestant will take a written test. A contestant must receive seventy-five percent (75%) of the total score in each judged division to become Queen. Finality of Judges’ Scoring As a condition of entry into the Queen competition, the contestant agrees the judges’ scoring is final, and not subject to appeal to any person or body, administrative or judicial. Horsemanship Fifty percent (50%) of the total score. The understanding and skill of the contestant will be judged, not the horse. However, it is recommended that each contestant have her horse and tack clean and ready for competition. Please make sure all equipment is in safe and good working order. A pattern will be selected that each contestant will ride. Each contestant will be required to mount and dismount, and will have two (2) minutes of free-time to - 29 -

ride any pattern of her choice. No Roman riding or music will be allowed. However, she must turn her pattern in to the Chairwoman before the competition. Standard AQHA rules will apply. Hat, boots, jeans and a white shirt must be worn. Personality Fifty percent (50%) of the total score. Each contestant will be required to present and deliver a three (3) minute speech (topic to be announced at orientation), will be asked to draw questions to respond to, and answer questions from the judges. Creativity and presence are looked for during the delivery of the speech. Each contestant will model an outfit of her choice reflecting the western fashion. She should have an awareness of fashionable western dress and style with particular attention given to proper fit, style, color and coordination that enhances her total appearance. Ability to project her personality to people she may have met in a short-time, as well as being able to present herself positively in other activities. Interviews will be conducted by the judges in various situations. The contestants should realize that they can be judged at any time during the contest, whether formally or informally. Congeniality Each contestant will vote for the congeniality award to be given to the contestant that demonstrates a genuine caring and friendliness toward other contestants throughout the activities. Attendance Attendance will be kept on each contestant’s participation in the scheduled clinics and activities. The record will be given to the judges whose discretion will decide how much weight the contestant’s participation will count for her total score. Queen Requirements To compete in the New Mexico State Fair Queen Pageant. Failure to do so will result in forfeiting the title, gifts, banners, scholarship and all awards; to crown next year’s Queen at our Fair; to perform any other duties asked by the Fair Board and Rodeo Queen Committee; to represent Otero County in parades and functions wearing the crown and banner, and be appropriately dressed. All appearances must be approved by the Committee, and the crown and banner cannot be worn to any function without said approval; and, must participate on horseback in her crowning and all Grand Entries, as well as the crowning and Grand Entry of next year’s Queen. First Runner-Up Requirements A First Runner-Up will be named but will not participate in the year’s activities. In the event the Queen does not fulfill her requirements as previously stated, the 1st Runner-up will assume the title, as long as she qualifies as stated above. The only way 1st Runner-Up could receive the awards given the Queen would be if the Queen did not compete in the New Mexico State Fair Queen Pageant that year. Awards - 30 -

Awards will be presented to category winners, the Queen will be crowned, and the First Runner-Up will be named. The Queen will remain to sign agreements and all other contestants will be dismissed. Any cash or scholarship prizes will not be awarded until after the fulfillment of the State Fair Queen contest requirement. The Queen will get the crown and buckle to wear during the year at her appearances, but will surrender them if she does not compete in the State Fair Queen contest.

50 Annual Junior Livestock Sale th

7:00 pm Saturday—August 17 in the Livestock Barn Show Ring

Jack Blandford, Auctioneer Here’s how the auction works:

All bidders must register at the FREE Bidders’ Supper on the Wade Patio beginning at 5:00 pm Saturday, or in the Livestock Barn prior to the sale. Please register even if you are not sure you will bid. Each bidder will receive a Buyer number, which will help with record keeping during the sale. Bid on animals during the auction. All animals are sold by the head, except steers which are sold by the pound. When you are the successful bidder, you have four choices: 1. Have the animal processed for your freezer, in which case you will be contacted by the processor for instructions.

2. Sell the animal to the packer. You will then be billed only for the difference between your auction bid and the packer price. Example of an animal weighing 1,100 lbs.: Your auction bid $ 1,760 less Packer Price of .50 per pound * - 550 Net Price to you $ 1,210 * Actual Packer Bids will be established the night of the sale.

3. Donate the animal to the Booster Pot, in which case you pay your full auction bid and the Booster Pot receives the packer price. 4. Take the animal home. Why be a Junior Livestock Buyer? The 4-H and FFA exhibitors whose livestock will be sold at the Otero County Fair have made a substantial investment, in time and money, in their projects. In so doing, these young people learn valuable lessons in responsibility, economics, fairness and competition. Most will apply the proceeds from their project toward their college education.

- 39 -

Here’s how you can buy: As an Individual - you, as an individual or for your business, have the fun of bidding up the sale, making it fast and exciting. In a Group - two or more individuals or businesses join together and bid. If you would like to be in a group and don’t know where to start, please contact any Fair Board member. When you buy an animal: You will be asked to sign a form which states what you want done with the animal. Your photograph will be taken with the exhibitor and the animal. In a few days you will receive an invoice for the amount due for your purchase, or you may obtain your invoice and pay immediately following the sale. The exhibitor whose animal you purchased will deliver your picture and invite you to attend the Buyers’ Dinner, which is held a few weeks following the Fair. The exhibitor will give you a postcard that must be returned to the Fair Office before the exhibitor can receive his or her check. You don’t need a truck! Fair officials handle all details of packer consignments and delivery. Purchases will be delivered to the processor, packer or to another designated location. Add-On Contributions On any sale animal, you can “add-on” any amount of money. Booster Pot Many people, whether or not they purchase an animal, donate to the Booster Pot. This fund is distributed to the exhibitors whose animals did not make the sale, to help offset some of their expenses.

Parade Marshal The 2013 Parade Marshal is Roger Powell. Roger’s family settled in Tularosa when he was a young boy. He went through school there and graduated from Tularosa High School, then McMurray College in Abilene, Texas. After college he spent several years in the food service industry before becoming the Student Special Services Director for the Alamogordo Public Schools for many years before retirement. Roger has spent his life volunteering for many worthwhile causes, including cooking at the Tularosa Rose Festival breakfast, helping light the hundreds of luminaries in Tularosa on Christmas Eve, helping the hospital Auxiliary setting up their luncheon and style show, helping Grace United Methodist Church in their kitchen, helping with the breakfast at Cottonwood Festival, and working with the Alamogordo Chamber of Commerce, of which he is a past president. Roger committed 25 years to the Otero County Fair, proudly serving on the Fair Board as Frontier Village Chairperson. Over the years he has donated countless hours working on the fairgrounds replacing lights, fixing electrical issues or water lines, painting booths, being a carpenter, a general handyman or a janitor. We thank Roger for all his work on behalf of the Fair and thanks to his wife JoLyn for sharing him with us. Congratulations, Roger, on being inducted into the Junior Livestock Ring of Honor in 2012. - 71 -
