President’s Message On behalf of myself, the Directors, Associates, and members, we present the 136th Neustadt- Normanby-Carrick Agricultural Society Fall Fair prize listing. We strive to introduce new ideas for exhibitors each year, as well as entertaining features for fair-goers. Our 2006 theme is “Where Memories Are Made”. We thank all the volunteers, directors, and members for their time and help throughout the year and on fair days. We extend our appreciation to the many donors for their generous contributions to help support our fair. Come to the fair, view the many exhibits, meet your friends and neighbours, enjoy the food and entertainment. See you there! Marion Haack, President RULES AND REGULATIONS The following are the Rules and Regulations of the Neustadt-Normanby-Carrick-Agricultural Society. GENERAL RULES A.

H. Judge's decision will be final in all cases, and no protest will be considered. I. Exhibitors will have $4.00 deducted from the prize money for next year membership. There will not be a percentage deducted. J. The Society will take every precaution to avert accidents, but will not be held responsible for injury to persons or to any exhibitors and will not make good in case of theft or damaged exhibits. K.

All exhibits are to be on display in the arena by 12:00 noon **SHARP** on Friday, as the doors will be locked at that time so that the judging can start by 1:00 p.m. ATTENTION LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS - in addition to the GENERAL rules, the following apply: R.
