Hog & Ham Demonstrations


The Hog & Ham’s demonstration/illustrated talk portion of the program is on Friday, July 31, 2009. Participants will follow the presentation order wlisted below and the beginning time is 10:00 am. All of the talks should be completed before lunch, and awards will be presented after the lunch break (lunch is on your own). On average, a new talk begins every 10 minutes. Plan to arrive ahead of schedule in case we move along more quickly than expected.

Demonstrations should follow the format for those given at district and state events, 3-12 minutes for intermediates and 5-12 minutes for seniors. Intermediates are 13 and under as of September 1, 2008, and seniors are 14 and over on that date. Refer to the demonstration scoresheet to see an explanation of the judging points. Any text/note types visuals need to be in a Power Point presentation (as opposed to posters, overheads, etc.). Computer and projection equipment will be provided, as well as tables for other visuals or work area. Anything else needed must be brought by the participant. PowerPoint presentations should be emailed to us by the Wednesday before (July 29) so they can be loaded on our network to confirm compatibility and functionality.

At the completion of the event, contestants will be able to take home their bacon, link sausage, and hams that were left behind for curing. They should bring a 96 quart cooler (or it’s equivalent in smaller coolers) to carry the meat home. Coolers can be brought into room 156’s walk-in cooler before the demonstrations begin or during the lunch break.
