Entry Tags
Name, address, phone no. required and if appropriate, grade of syrup or recipe must be included with each entry. All entries become the property of the Sugarmakers’ Association.
Use only New, Unused Containers for all maple products. Always use only hot water to clean maple equipment and containers. Do not use dish soap or other kinds of soap when cleaning and preparing maple equipment or containers as soap will flavor the syrup or contents of the container. No containers or dishes can be returned to the exhibitor. Ribbons will only be available after 6 pm on Saturday night.
Classes
1. Maple Syrup: 1 full pint, Fancy, Grade A Medium Amber, Grade A Dark Amber, Grade B or Backyard. Before sending to be judged, open the container and check for:
a. Color b. Density
c. Clarity d. Flavor
Be sure the container meets the size requirements for the contest. (one full pint)
2. Maple Candy: (sugar cakes) – 8 oz. Make sure you use good-flavored Fancy or Medium Amber syrup. Check the boiling point of water when you make any maple product and adjust the temperature to avoid making product that is too soft or too hard. Submit Four – eight pieces for judging.
3. Maple Cream: 1/2 lb.
Use light-flavored Fancy or Medium Amber syrup. Watch temperature and adjust accordingly. Maple cream picks up other flavors quickly. Pack cream in new 8-oz. jars or other airtight containers.

5. Maple Fudge: (nuts allowed) – Can be either pure maple or cream fudge. Be sure it is not too hard or too soft. If you use nuts, make sure they are fresh and that the nut flavor doesn’t overpower the maple flavor. If using nuts, label containers as to kind of nuts (butternut, walnut, pecans, etc.). Show all ingredients on container.

The Antique area has many motion exhibits which consist of thrashing grain, baling straw, milling corn, sawing shingles on a circular saw mill, cutting firewood with a drag saw powered both by horse and a single cylinder engine. Also, many outdoor exhibits that are powered by horses. Those include reaping and binding, sickle bar mowing, tedding hay, raking hay and using a hay loader. There is also an overflowing tent of local antique tractors. Many of which were and still are used on local farms. A new addition in 2009 was a Blacksmith shop that has daily displays.
