We are working diligently to increase our attendance, but need our entire Fair family to help us promote the Fair. In order to continue to provide our exhibitors with the same awards, premiums and classes we have mounted an aggressive sponsorship program. Remember, it is less expensive to enter online with a $5.00 fee and if your entry is mailed or delivered it is a $10.00 fee per exhibitor. The 2014 Sacramento County Fair was yet another great fair. Our attendance continues to grow, as does our food vendors and carnivals revenues. We are looking forward to another record year with our attendance goal at over 100,000 this year! Keeping with the goals of the Board of Directors, youth education is our primary focus. Our 2014 school tours and Farm Garden In A Wheelbarrow program educated over 12,000 school age children. We continue to work to decrease expenses and are working to increase our volunteer base during the fair. Again this year, all animals will be represented by a volunteer chairperson. If you would like to get involved please call the office. Our carnival partner Midway of Fun is offering a $29.50 wristband that will be good all week for carnival rides for livestock exhibitors only. Please see the attached flyer. Wristbands must be purchased at time of entry and there is a limit of only one per exhibitor. Buckles will only be awarded if there are 6 or more per class.
