4 Important Notice The Rogers County Free Fair Board wishes to take this opportunity to welcome all Rogers County residents to exhibit and attend the Rogers County Free Fair in September. Every effort is being made by the Board to make this a successful fair with a large number of quality exhibits, plenty of entertainment, and a place for you to meet your friends. With your cooperation, we believe that a very successful fair can be held this year which will not only have an educational value, but will also assist in maintaining the morale of Rogers County farmers, 4-H Club and FFA Chapter members and encourage the production of more and better food products. This catalog, including the premium list, for the 2014 Rogers County Free Fair, is being printed previous to final action on the Rogers County Free Fair Board estimate by the County Commissioners and the Rogers County Excise Board. The catalog is being issued, therefore, with the distinct understanding that if for any reason whatsoever, sufficient funds are not available to pay in full premiums and awards as listed, the Rogers County Free Fair Board reserves the right to prorate premiums on a percentage basis. The attention of all exhibitors is especially called to this condition and provision, and exhibits are accepted only with this definite understanding. It is a well-known fact that up to the present time it has never been necessary in Rogers County to prorate premiums, the appropriations for the Fair having been sufficient in every instance to pay all premiums in full. It is the opinion of the Board that this will also be true this year, and it not anticipated that prorating of premiums will be necessary. The Board solicits your continued cooperation on the above condition, with the hope and belief that the appropriation will be sufficient to pay all premiums in full and that it will not be necessary to take into account the above provision. It is the purpose of the Fair Board to do everything that is possible to make this Free Fair a success and to add to the comforts, pleasures, and conveniences of the visitors and exhibitors who attend. Our Fair last year was a success, and with the past experience we hope to be able to serve the people who contributed to much better advantage this year. We hope our agricultural exhibits will be better and larger this year, which will demonstrate that Rogers County is second to none in the State. The agricultural exhibits will clearly portray the wonderful agricultural resources of the County; the livestock show will be evidence of the fact that Rogers County is outstanding from the standpoint of the quality of the livestock. The Free Fair Board earnestly solicits your support and cooperation in making this fair a success, as no other factor does more to stimulate and improve farm conditions than agricultural fairs, where one may observe the improvements of farm crops and animals and compare them with their own. The management appeals to you to lend your support by bringing exhibits, boosting and attending. It is upon your support that we depend for a successful fair. General Rules 1. All exhibits will remain in place. Any exhibits leaving or removed prior to the stated time shall be subject to withholding and/or forfeiture of any premiums earned and/or possible suspension from showing or exhibiting at the Rogers County Free Fair subject to the decision of the RCFFA Board of Directors.

Treating or massaging any part of the body internally or externally with an irritant, counter-irritant, or other substance to temporarily straighten a weak back or loin or to produce unnatural animation. 3.
