The Floyd County Homecoming and Harvest Festival, featuring the County Fair, was created as an extension of the celebration of the County’s 175 years.  The first year was deemed a success and the fourth year is here. The name has been shortened to the Floyd County Harvest Festival and County Fair but the purpose remains the same.   The goal is to highlight Floyd’s agriculture, both past and present, to recognize our history and provide an opportunity for residents, visitors and family that have moved away to gather.

 Sign Up: 11:30 am

Contest: 12:00 noon

 

 Rules:

1.                  Teams are made up of 3 people ages 9 and up.  Adults and youth may be on the same         team.  Open to everyone!

2.                  Teams must pick a name for the entry form

3.              Milk products will be consumed by at least two members so please make sure at least two      members of your team can consume milk products.

4.              This is intended to be a fun event where competition is minimal and fun abounds.  Please       help us keep it in this spirit.

5.                  Decision of the judges is final.

 

 Contest event order:

1.      Milk Chugging – new washed calf bottles will be used.  Only one team member will participate in the chugging but the others are encouraged to cheer their contestant on.  The team whose member chugs the most milk in 2 minutes wins.

2.      Hog Calling – the team can choose to have one, two or all members participate in this event.  Be inventive.  Costumes are great and even a little skit for this event will make it lots of fun.  Creativity does count.  Judges will determine the winners

3.      Cheese Eating – one member will be given a slice of American cheese.  A picture of something will be shown to all and the team member is asked to bite parts of the cheese away leaving the uneaten part in the shape of the picture.  The best sculpture wins as determined by the judges

4.      Hay Bale Stacking – a stack of 12 bales of hay will be on one end of the show area.  Team members must move the entire stack beyond a marked line, restack the bales and all members must be on the stack without anyone touching the ground when time is called.  The team with the fastest time wins.  If the stack falls before the entire team is off the ground you must restack the bales and try again.

 

 Points for each event will be combined to determine the winning team.
