This year’s fair theme Home Spun Fun will showcase “Tiny Houses” a trend which originated right here in Sonoma County. I invite you to come out and enjoy this annual 16 day celebration of Sonoma County’s agricultural heritage and visit with the farmers and ranchers who help make this area the greatest place on earth to live or visit. You can also watch the future generation of farmers ranchers show off their 4-H & FFA projects and compete for prizes and at our many livestock shows. The 13 days of Wine Country Horse Racing, held on both turf and dirt tracks, will most certainly thrill everyone who attends! The exhibit buildings will be filled with wonderful entries, from quilts to homemade goodies and beautiful photographs of Sonoma County. The carnival is the biggest and most exciting collection of rides and games available in Northern California, so come out and enjoy what makes the county fair so special. In the Chris Beck arena we will have live concerts, exciting monster trucks, and a rodeo featuring some of California’s best cowboys. The major attraction at Sonoma County Fair is our wonderful Flower Show featuring professional gardeners, amateur gardeners, as well as our entire up and coming youth garden exhibitors. This year’s theme is “Backyard Blossoms”. Don’t forget about the wonderful food vendors that will make your visit truly memorable. So get the family together and make the Sonoma County Fair your end of summer vacation. You will be amazed how much Home Spun Fun is in store for you!

Jamison Perpetual Trophy 2013 Recipient: Loren Poncia The J.W. Jamison Perpetual Trophy is awarded annually to an individual whose contributions have enriched Sonoma County agriculture and who are recognized as outstanding in the industry. The award recipient must reside in the North Bay and be involved in the production of Beef, Dairy Cattle, Dairy Goats, Sheep, Swine, Poultry or Rabbits. The trophy is sponsored and presented by the Sonoma County Fair on Farmer’s Day, Sunday, July 28 in Chris Beck Arena. Born and raised in Tomales, Loren Poncia is the fourth generation rancher to nurture the land that has been in his family for over 100 years. Over the last century, the Poncia Ranch has transformed from a dairy ranch into a highly successful grass-fed beef and lamb operation. Loren is on the forefront of sustainable ranching among his peers. After studying Dairy Science and Agricultural Business at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, he returned to his Marin County property with fresh new ideas that embodied environmental consciousness and biodiversity. In 2007, Loren, with his wife Lisa, started Stemple Creek Ranch. The quality of their animals and excellence in beef products clearly showcases their devotion of farming – from the land to the table. Most of their pastures and animals are certified Organic and all animals are grass-fed and grass-finished. Loren’s sustainable practices have resulted in a tremendous investment that ensures that the 1,000 acres of land and animals are properly cared for. Loren says, “We strive to work with Mother Nature to keep the land abundant and the animals healthy and happy”. This philosophy has earned Loren a voice in numerous publications, respect from his peers and a reputation for forward thinking. He has been an active member of the Marin Ag Land Trust for ten years and chaired the organization for two years. Loren manages the entire ranching operation, including spending countless hours studying and planning the careful genetics of his herd, managing the pastures to increase efficiency and decrease stress to the environment. His wife, Lisa, dedicates her spare time to sales and marketing. It is hard to believe that this husband and wife team remains this dedicated while holding full-time jobs off the ranch. Loren aspires to grow the business so that they can both focus all of their attention on their family and farm. According to Loren, “It is a tremendous amount to juggle, but we love it. Making this all happen is exciting and I am very grateful to my parents for giving me the opportunity.” Loren’s ranching dream began when he was a youth showing animals in the Sonoma County Fair. “I am honored, very surprised and truly appreciate being recognized for the hard work”, said Loren. The Sonoma County Fair is proud to present this year’s award for Outstanding North Bay Rancher to Loren Poncia.

MADDALENA MEMORIAL TROPHY 2013 Recipients: Frank and Stacey Gambonini The Sonoma County Fair and local Dairymen annually select one outstanding dairy within the North Bay as Dairy of the Year in loving memory of Edward J. Maddalena. The Award honors ranch appearance, herd management and leadership in the dairy industry and community. The award is presented during Farmer’s Day at the Sonoma County Fair, Sunday, July 28, 2013 in Chris Beck Arena. Fifth generation farmers, Frank and Stacey Gambonini’s, GamlakeDairy in Petaluma, is proudly celebrating its 100th year in 2013. Frank Gambonini grew up on the dairy following his father around in his little rubber boots, thinking he was a “big time” farmer. Today that perception has become his reality, and he loves every minute of it. Along with their three daughters, Frank and Stacey operate an organic dairy farm with over 600 head of cattle. The farm boasts over 500 acres of rolling pastures where the cows, calves and heifers all graze together. In 2007 the ranch converted to organic, which has required education, dedication and the adoption of new technology. Every day over 250 cows are milked to fulfill the growing demand for organic dairy products. Frank and Stacey value being certified organic and believe that this type of production is better for the environment and produces a healthier product. “Being recognized by your peers for how you run your dairy and what you mean to the industry and community through your ownership is a great honor”, says Frank Gambonini. This is the second time that the Gamlake Dairy has been presented with the Outstanding Dairy Award. Frank’s parents, George and Margaret were honored by the Sonoma County Fair in 1989. Frank remembers going onto the racetrack as a kid to witness his parent’s acceptance. Gamlake Dairy has also received the DHIA Top Ten Herd Award for milk production numerous times. Frank and Stacey are members of several local and national organizations that include the Western United Dairy Association, the North Bay Dairy Herd Improvement Association and the North Bay Dairy Women’s Association. The Gambonini’s are long-time friends of the Sonoma County Fair. Frank grew up showing dairy cows and market animals and today his three daughters follow in his footsteps. His three daughters, Alexandra, Frankie and Samantha are members of 4-H and all raise animals for the Junior Livestock Auction. In 2012, Frankie Gambonini exhibited the Grand Champion Registered Holstein in the Junior Dairy Division. With the family tradition continuing, Frank and Stacey hope to one day turn the operation over to their girls. Frank and Stacey are very proud to have received this award and look forward to continuing the family tradition in the dairy business. The Sonoma County Fair is pleased to present Frank and Stacey Gambonini with the 2013 Outstanding Dairy of the Year award.

Recipients are carefully chosen based upon their contribution to the horse industry and the community and well as their excellence in their facility operations. The award will be presented on Farmer’s Day during the Sonoma County Fair on Sunday, July 28, 2013, in Chris Beck Arena. Pete and Benita Mattioli’s love for horses started almost 40 years ago, when they first began laying the foundation for their 21-acre ranch in Santa Rosa. In 1973, Pete purchased a Quarter Horse stallion named Cal Bar from Arnold Dolcini in Petaluma, to be his foundation stallion to begin a breeding program at his new ranch. Cal Bar was already a champion Reined Cow Horse, but went on to become a champion Cutting Horse as well. Pete and Benita bred 20 mares that first year, quickly proving that Cal Bar’s talents in the show pen were being passed on to his progeny. This successful breeding program established the Mattioli’s ranch, Double Bar M, as one of the most prestigious quarter horse ranches in the area, and they continued to enjoy many successes with raising and showing offspring of Cal Bar. Pete and Benita soon became actively involved with both the Pacific Coast Cutting Horse Association and the National Cutting Horse Association. Pete served as a board member on both associations for several years. Devoted to local industry, in 1988, Pete and Benita opened their ranch to boarders and equestrians, expanding their facilities to accommodate multiple disciplines, creating a home for both English and Western riders of all levels. Today, the ranch is known as Hunter Lane Equestrian Center. In 1993, Pete and a group of fellow horse enthusiasts founded the Sonoma County Horse Council with the purpose of promoting the health and well being of horses and all aspects of the horse industry in Sonoma County. Benita personally supports the council by working with the Equis Award Committee, being a dedicated volunteer, and a sales advocate for its publication, the Sonoma County Horse Journal. “Pete and I are thrilled to receive this honor from the Fair Board. We appreciate the opportunity the horse community of Sonoma County has given us to make a living doing what we love. We cherish and still enjoy the many enduring friendships we have made through the years. Thank you, Sonoma County!” The Sonoma County Fair is honored to present the 2013 Award of Excellence in the Horse Industry to Pete and Benita Mattioli.

In this sense the definition of “pay” is any compensation that results in a profit above and beyond the cost of material. This shall also include teachers, lecturers, and judges. Amateur An amateur is any person who engages in an event or activity as a pastime rather than as a profession. Any money earned from sales no more than covers the cost of materials.

All fleeces entered must have been sheared from sheep owned by exhibitor. The judge has the power to classify fleeces before making awards. Eligibility of fleeces: Fleeces shall not be more than 12 months growth. The definition of “12 months” shall be the definition commonly accepted by the wool trade. Thus, if a fleece is actually slightly more than 12 months growth, due to unavoidable delay in obtaining shearers, or by weather, it shall be termed “12 months” wool. Fleeces: No wether fleeces may be included. All fleeces being awarded a first prize in the show may compete for the Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion in their respective Divisions. Due to limited exhibit space, non-awarded fleeces may be released as per management discretion. All top-awarded fleeces must remain on display the full duration of the fair. Qualifications: Any fleeces entered for competition in the Sonoma County Fair shall be discriminated against if: • Showing any paint or tar brands (soluble branding fluids permitted.) • Showing excessive dung locks or tags. • Discolored by excessive moisture of cotted. • Showing a weak staple or break in the fiber. • Containing any excess burrs or other vegetable matter. 229 DEPARTMENT #31 – OPEN WOOL SHOW H. I. J. K. Judging of fleeces: • Quality or fineness must be typical of the breed represented. • Evenness of quality or fineness among the various parts of the fleece. • Length and strength of staple. • Estimated clean weight. • Condition. • Character, including crimps and color. Preparation of Fleeces: Fleeces are to be rolled flesh side out and displayed in clear plastic bags. Ties are not to be used. Bags will be available to purchase @ $1.00 each at the time of receiving.
