General Rules – 1st and 2nd Shows:
1. Open to any adult amateur grower or artistic designer. Competition is open to the world. No reservations are necessary.
2. Knox County residents or a Knox County Garden Club member may purchase a Season Pass for $30.00. This entitles the purchaser
to 10 entry tags. Additional entry tags, if needed, are available to purchase at fifty cents per tag.
3. Residents outside Knox County have the option to purchase a Season Pass for $30.00 (no free entry tags) OR pay fifty cents per entry.
4. Exhibitors who choose not to purchase a Season Pass can purchase entry tags for fifty cents per entry.
5. Exhibitors without a Season Pass who arrive after 8:00 AM must pay that day’s fair entry fee.
6. Exhibitors may drive to the Flower Show Building, but the Fair Board insists all vehicles be removed from the midway by 11:00 AM.
7. Exhibitors are encouraged to buy entry tags at the Knox County Fair Secretary’s Office after July 4, 2022, and before the day of the
Horticulture or Artistic Show. Fair Secretary’s Office opens at 9 AM.
8. Exhibitor’s name, address, exhibitor number, and purchase record must appear on each entry tag. All entry tags must be made out in
advance before arriving at the show.
9. Exhibitors, family members, and friends are welcome to observe and listen to the open oral judging for each show. Judging by the Ohio
Association of Garden Clubs (OAGC) will begin at 1:00 PM, starting with the Junior Division entries.
10. Entries for Horticulture MUST BE REMOVED on Wednesday, July 27 between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. If the exhibitor is unable to come
on Wednesday they must provide a labeled container, etc. on Monday so their bottles, ribbons, and entry tags can be stored under the
tables for pick-up on Thursday before 11:00 AM or Sunday between 1:00 and 2:00 PM. Plant material will not be saved.
11. Artistic entries remain until Sunday, July 31 and MUST BE REMOVED that day between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM. If exhibitor cannot
claim entries at that time, please make arrangements with the show chairman or have someone pick them up. Premium checks for both
shows may be obtained at that time from the show chairman.
12. The Flower Show Committee shall not be responsible for breakage, theft, or loss of property.
Horticulture Rules—1st Show:
1. Cultivars are to be owned and grown by the exhibitor. Exhibitor should be involved in the planting, care, and growth of their own
horticulture exhibits.
2. Exhibitor must have possession of their potted plants or plants purchased and planted in the ground at least 90 days prior to the show.
In other words, an exhibitor cannot bring a flower or foliage for an exhibit from a plant not purchased 90 days before the show.
Container grown plants must be established in the container in which they were grown.
3. Entry tags are to be correctly labeled with the variety name of the flower, foliage, or plant. If a variety name is not listed, entry is not
eligible for first place or Best of Show but still may receive a lesser award or remain in the show. Help at classification table will be given
to help with the variety name. It is helpful if exhibitor keeps plant labels or seed packets for identification when planting.
A variety name is a subdivision of a species. For example, Zinnia variety names include Zowie, Benary’s Giant series, Queen series,
Mixes, etc. This serves the educational strength of the show.
4. Entry tags are not to be tied to the bottle, container, or stem of flower or plant, but placed to the right of the exhibit.
5. More than one entry per class is allowed, provided each entry is a different variety. For example: Zinnia Zinderella Lilac,
Zinderella Peach, and Zinderella Purple are three different varieties.
6. Exhibitors are to furnish non-colored clear glass containers to display their entries. This aids the judge to easily see the stem and size
suitable for the exhibit. Green Styrofoam will be available for use as blocks for heavy large cultivars. Blocks are advised to keep entries
standing erect. Small water tubes will be provided for miniature roses. Paper plates will be provided for vegetables and fruit.
7. Cut a stem so that its length is in good proportion to the bloom. When a bloom is required, disbud. * Spikes and sprays are not disbudded. *
See definitions on page 2.
8. Cultivars should be well groomed, clean, and free from dirt or spray residue, including plant shine of any kind. Improperly groomed
entries and those not disbudded may lose points or be disqualified.
9. Remove any leaves that fall below the waterline in a container, but healthy foliage growing on the stem above the waterline should remain.
Foliage is important to the plant’s health and vigor, demonstrates the exhibitor’s cultivation, and adds points to the exhibit.
10. Container grown plants must have a saucer under the pot. Section K (container grown plants) will remain for the duration of the Fair.
11. Allow time to check in your entries at the entry and classification tables. Unless they volunteer, committee members are not expected
to carry exhibits into the show from vehicles, from outside the building, or worktables.
12. Exhibitors are responsible for placing horticulture exhibits under the direction of the placement and staging committee.
13. The Committee reserves the right to combine or eliminate classes to insure a uniform show. Classes may or may not be sub-
divided if the number of entries warrant it.
14. Judges’ decisions are final, and no decisions are to be changed after close of judging.
*Disbudding is the removal of surplus buds along the stem or in axil (where leaves join the stem). Buds are generally on a small stem. Remove the little stem also at the joint (axil), leaving the leaves at the main stem.
Sprayconsists of a terminal bloom and at least four other immediately adjacent blooms, each of which is carried on an individual stem coming from a common stem.
Spikeis a single stalk of florets in which the bottom floret usually blooms first.

KNOX COUNTY
AGRICULTURE MUSEUM
Open 12-9 during fair week
The Knox County Agriculture Museum, which began in 1984, is proud to offer a visit back to our country’s agricultural roots. Devoted almost exclusively to farm and home lifestyles of the 1800’s and early 1900’s, the museum houses nearly 4,000 items depicting how our ancestors lived. In addition to the Museum building (the expanded structure now provides over 25,000 sq. ft. of display and storage space), the Museum maintains and displays a late 1800’s log house, a one-room schoolhouse, a springhouse, a smokehouse, the last building from Hiawatha Park, a metal corn crib, and even an outhouse.
All Museum buildings will be open and staffed during fair week. The Knox County Agriculture Museum Committee (all volunteers) maintains the museum’s building and holdings, arranges educational displays, and provides interpretation and security during the fair.
A “Loom Room” features weaver at work throughout the fair, making rugs, which are available for sale to fair visitors. The proceeds help pay for museum expenses.
The Museum is also open and staffed during other events scheduled at the fairgrounds throughout the year. Group tours for any other dates may also be scheduled; contact coordinator Greg Magers, at 740-398-6617, or assistant coordinator, Art Mizer, at 740-393-3691.
We of the Agriculture Museum Committee express our appreciation of the community’s continual support in making our museum a unique and superb addition to the fair and community. Over the years, generous donations of farm implements, household furnishings, historical items, and money from museum members and the community have allowed the museum to grow substantially in size and ability to preserve Knox County’s agricultural past.
Especially notable has been the support of the Community Foundations of Mount Vernon and Knox County, the Knox County Board of Commissioners, and volunteer work by the students of the Knox County Career Center. Several local businesses have provided materials at cost and donated their services, and many individuals have given untold hours of their labor.
Anyone interested in becoming an Agriculture Museum volunteer should contact Secretary Helen McKee at 740-485-1922 or see a volunteer during fair week, recognizable by their bright red caps. Anyone interested in donating unique agricultural items to the museum for education of future generations should contact any of the officers already listed.
Some recent added attractions include a 4ft. x 8ft. aerial map of the entire county (shown side-by-side with the 1958 version), and three horse-drawn items-a large wagon, and elegant horse cart, and a beautiful sleigh. We host displays that change daily of arrowheads and other Native American artifacts, and a special feature down the center aisle showing how tillage tools and machines have changed over
180 years.
As the years have gone by, the main building has grown from a simple 40x100 single story structure to a length of 180ft., and added two 2- story extensions, each 56ft. wide, one 50ft. and the other 60ft. long. In July of 2016, we dedicated a separate 7,200 storage building in the far corner of the fairgrounds (not open to the public) to house extra items not yet on display.
