An amateur winemaker makes wine either alone or in collaboration with other winemakers. If there is collaboration, all persons must be named on the entry form and are considered one entrant. Because this is an AMATEUR competition, no individual or any member of the group should be directly involved in commercial winemaking. Commercial winemaking is a business enterprise certified as a bonded winery, authorized by BATF for the production and sale of wine. Any persons who own, manage, supervise or are receiving any form of compensation (money, grapes, wine, etc.) for being involved with the operation of any non-residential wine making facility (wine school, wine club, etc.) may NOT enter the Williamson County Fair Wine Competition

Amateur winemakers may not use the facilities or products, other than juice (which may be sulfited), of a commercial winery during any stage of wine preparation and/or storage of the wine. 8. The number of entries is limited to a maximum of six (6) wines per entrant. Six wines from a husband and six (6) wines from his wife will NOT be allowed. An entrant may submit only one (1) wine in any sub-category except for the Other category where more than one can be submitted, if each wine is of a different variety. A wine that has received an award in a previous Williamson County Fair Competition is not eligible. 9. Wine Classification Rules include the following: a. Grape varieties as varietals are classified as Vinifera, Hybrid, and Native. The origin of many Native varieties is unknown because of spontaneous hybridization. These grapes will be classified as Native in this competition. b. Wines entered as varietals should contain at least 75% of that variety and should not be blended with any other varieties that markedly alter the primary varietal characteristics of that wine. For Vinifera/Hybrid, Hybrid/Native, etc see Blends description. c. Varietals less than 75% should be entered as Blends. d. No wine shall be accepted if it contains more than 25% of any grape variety of the same vintage from which another wine was made which is entered in any other category or subcategory, with the exception that the same varietal wine can be entered in the Aperitif/Dessert, Rose (for Red varieties) or Sparkling categories if it is the result of a separately fermented batch. 10. Blends that include grape wine and fruit wine must be entered in the Fruit category. Fruit or non-grape wines which are sparkling or fortified must be entered in the respective Sparkling or Aperitif/Dessert categories. 11. All wines judged will be judged according to their relative merits within the class. The BEST OF SHOW winner will be that wine which is clearly superior in its class and has an overall enological excellence that surpasses all other wines in the competition. 12. It is the responsibility of the entrant to ship or deliver the entry wines in good condition. A sheet of personalized labels for the bottles will be mailed back to the winemaker after he/she has registered. Do not write on this label.

All Williamson County Fair participants must comply with the requirements. Please carefully read and adhere to the requirements below. TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE KEN GIVENS COMMISSIONER REGULATORY SERVICES ANIMAL HEALTH MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Fair Officials Ronald B. Wilson, D.V.M. State Veterinarian DATE: February 1, 2007 Enclosed is a summary of Tennessee Fair Regulations - health requirements for livestock at fairs and exhibitions. Special Comments: 1. Health certificates issued in satisfaction of these Tennessee Fair Regulations shall be good for 90 days for Tennessee livestock only. Please note the additional requirements listed below for the Knoxville Spring Junior Cattle Exposition and the Tennessee Junior Livestock Exposition and associated shows (county and district). 2. As noted in the enclosed health requirements, Tennessee requires that all poultry assembled at shows or exhibitions be accompanied by evidence of a negative test for Pullorum-Typhoid within 90 days or originate directly from a flock which has been certified as Pullorum-Typhoid Clean under the Tennessee Poultry Improvement Plan. As per last year s testing guidelines, on-site testing of poultry is no longer allowed. As part of increased awareness and surveillance for Avian Influenza and other poultry diseases, all birds physical health appearance should be assessed at the time testing is conducted. Testing must 44 45

26 L I V E S T O C K be completed prior to commingling with birds of other ownership. 3. Any chick chain birds that have been commingled with birds of unknown disease status must test negative for Pullorum-Typhoid prior to entry. 4. Please note that exhibition requirements for out-of-state livestock are the same as regular import requirements. 5. Requirements for the Junior Livestock Exposition in Murfreesboro on July 9 13, 2007 (beef) and sheep consigned to the Junior Livestock Exposition in Cookeville, July 30 August 2, 2007 must meet the following requirements: Health Requirements: Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) will be required for every animal exhibited at the Knoxville Spring Junior Cattle Exposition and the Tennessee Junior Livestock Exposition and associated shows (county and district). It is expected that junior exhibitors will bring only healthy animals to the Expos. The Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) must be dated within 45 days of the respective show. All animals are subject to being inspected after arrival at the show facilities and any with clinical signs of contagious disease will be sent home immediately. Certificate(s) of Veterinary Inspection are to accompany the animal(s) to the respective shows. All sheep that show in EXPO must have approved ear tags. Any sheep that are to be exhibited in any show (including Commercial Ewes and Market Lamb) will be required to have an approved Scrapie Program ear tag in their ear. This will apply to the sheep shown in the Tennessee Junior Livestock EXPO. This must be done in accordance with the guidelines provided by USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the rules of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. Note: Wethers are no longer exempt from the Scrapie identification requirements. Exhibitors who have breeding flocks will be required to have official USDA identification in order to show or to sell ewe or ram lambs for exhibition and/or breeding. This is done by filling out the appropriate form to obtain a flock/premise identification number and ear tags. Existing flock identification numbers may be allowed if properly registered. If this has not already been done, it is recommended that it be done as soon as possible. Exhibitors who purchase the ewes they will show must be certain the ewes have been tagged by the breeder (flock of birth). Avoid purchasing ewes to exhibit if they don t have approved ear tags. 6. Warts and ringworm are considered contagious and infectious diseases and are permissible exclusions only if considered inactive by the issuing veterinarian and noted as such on the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection. L I V E S T O C K 7. Scabies, contagious ecthyma (soremouth), footrot, cutaneous fungal and bacterial infections (i.e. club lamb disease, caseous lymphadenitis) are considered contagious and infectious diseases, and are permissible exclusions only if considered inactive by the issuing veterinarian and noted as such on the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection. 8. Fair officials are responsible for reporting any violations of these regulations to the state veterinarian or his agent. Please retain this material for reference during the 2007 fair season.
