Via Tom Cree of the Boulder County Fair:
An error has been found in the Boulder County Fair Book, Department 105, Honey. My fault - instructions for this year's changes were not clear. Our department is changing the Honey categories to require less submission of product in each entry. Below is how the information in the Fair Book should read, and soon will - the Fair Office "is on it". Sorry for any inconvenience caused.


CLASS #19: HONEY - Adult

CLASS #20: HONEY - Teen

CLASS #21: HONEY - Pre-Teen

RULES:
1. Small jars or bottles containing sufficient product for judging are acceptable.
2. All frame or section entries must be enclosed in a see-through protective
 container or wrapped with clear plastic in order to avoid invasion by bees or insect pests.
3. Label on exhibitors containers must state date, name
  of product, and if honey is raw or heated (above 110 degrees F).
4. All cut comb section honey must be displayed in clear plastic box (i.e. 4-1/8" x
4-1/8" x 1-3/8") and the comb should be the same approximate dimensions. Round comb sections or half comb cassettes must also be displayed in a clear
plastic or glass container of appropriate size for judging.
5. All non-decorative wax must be displayed in a clear container, should be of the same approximate dimensions and contain sufficient product for judging.
