Once the top six are selected, the reign o f the ambassador begins and will continue through Pendleton Round-Up. The majority of their duties will be held to the Morrow County Fair. As mentioned previously, however, a few appearances at other fairs/festivals and media opportunities may be required. Requirements are that an ambassador may be absent from no more than one fourth of the activities. Ambassadors must commit to being on site for five of the seven days of the fair, usually from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. “Granted, that sounds like very long days,” said an Ambassador Program spokesperson, “but with all o f the ‘fair fun’, time flies by.” How do / become an Ambassador? The first step is to complete an ap plication and return it to the fair office prior to Sep tember 25, 2011. Once the applications are returned, a committee will review them and call to schedule a personal interview (similar to a job interview). The interview day is set for October 2, 2011, at 1 p.m. The contestants will need to have prepared a short, one-to-three-minute speech about them selves. Then they will answer questions for a panel of judges. Inter views are not open to the public. At the completion of the interviews, the top six scores will determine the 2012 Morrow County Fair & Rodeo Ambassadors. The event is closed to the public but a reception will be held for a meet and greet with M orrow County Fair & Rodeo Ambassador chaper ons before, during and after personal interviews, during which time parents will be asked to review and sign a parent code of conduct.
