28 Woodbury County Fair The judge may cut one specimen of each exhibit. Paper plates will be provided, but remember a box or sack to take your exhibits home if you want them. Root crops may be washed if necessary, or brush off dirt with a soft brush when you pull or dig. Remove from soil when ground is dry. Onions should have dry tops of about one inch. Best not to remove any skin; brush dry dirt off, if necessary. Trim onion roots to one inch. Leave ½ inch stem on all cucumbers. Leave a good sturdy 2 to 3-inch stem on pumpkins and squash. Beans and peppers should also retain their stems. Ripe cucumbers must be yellow. Tomatoes will be exhibited by size or shape, not variety name. Tomatoes must be ripe, remove the stems, and select uniform specimens without cracks or spots. Cherry & plum tomatoes will be divided for size before judging. Rhubarb: tie both ends of rhubarb stalks (pull rhubarb – don’t cut bottom of stalk. Leave small one-inch fan of leaves). Dill: 10 – 12 inch stems tied at both ends. Cut tops off beets, carrots, kohlrabi, parsnips, turnips, and others, before bringing them to the fair. Most require a 2-inch stem, and a complete taproot. Kohlrabi must leave a 2-inch root. Vegetables that wilt will be displayed in a jar of water. Parsley must be five complete stems, not just the leaflets from one stem. Display ½ pint of dry shell beans in a one-pint clear glass jar. Type of bean should be given on entry tag. Any other vegetable will include only something different from the other listed categories. Example: any other pepper has to be entered as such. Only one entry per category. 10501 Asparagus (5) 5-8” 10522 Celery (1 plant) 10502 Beans, dried shelled (1/2 pint) 10523 Cucumber, dills (3) 3-5” 10503 Beans, Lima (5 pods) retain 10524 Cucumber, slicing variety (5) stems 6-10” NO PICKLING VARIETIES 10504 Beans, green (5) retain stems 10525 Cucumber, burpless (3) over 10505 Beans, yellow wax (5) retain 10” stems 10526 Cucumber, ripe yellow (3) 10506 Beans, purple (5) retain stems 10527 Cucumber, novelty (3-5) 10507 Beans, other (5) retain stems 10528 Dill (5 heads) 10-12” stems 10508 Beets, cylindra (3) 2” stem tied at both ends 10509 Beets, golden (3) 2” stem 10529 Eggplant, large oval (1) 10510 Beets, red ball (3) 2” stem 10530 Eggplant, cylindrical (2) 10511 Beets, white (3) 2” stem 10531 Eggplant, white (2) 10512 Beets, other (3) 2” stem 10532 Eggplant, other (2) 10513 Broccoli (1 head) 10533 Ground cherries (6) 3 in husk; 10514 Brussels sprouts (5) 3 open 10515 Cabbage, white (1 head) 10534 Kale (5 leaves) (Retain Outer Leaves) 10535 Kohlrabi, purple (3) 2” root 10516 Cabbage, red (1 head) 10536 Kohlrabi, white (3) 2” root (Retain outer leaves) 10537 Leek (3) 10517 Cabbage, other (1 head) 10538 Muskmelon (1) (Retain outer leaves) 10539 Okra, green (3) 3”–5” 10518 Carrots, orange (3) retain 2” 10540 Okra, red (3) 3”-5” stems 10541 Onions, red globe or flat (3) 10519 Carrots, colored (3) retain 2 10542 Onions, white globe or flat (3) stems 10543 Onions, yellow globe or flat (3) 10520 Carrots, novelty (3) retain 2” 10544 Onions, other (3) stems 10545 Garlic (3) 10521 Cauliflower (1 head) 10546 Parsley, curled (5 stems)
