Become a Friend of the Fair

We invite the community to be a part of a team effort to support the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds, so it can continue to serve as a home for Emergency Services, the Fair & Special Events.

Dear Community Leaders and Friends of the Fair,

The Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds relies on charitable gifts and support of our Fair and its programs from friends like you.

This year we hope you will join our crusade in supporting the Fairgrounds to supplement the funds the State will not subsidize.

Please help us meet our funding priority to be able to continue to operate and provide you with community assets that promote family values, and preserve our farming heritage.

The Fairgrounds is an invaluable asset to the community. It is the home for Emergency Services for flood, earthquake, and fire.

The Santa Cruz County Fairground operates all year long providing:

  • Home for Emergency Services for flood, earthquake, and fire
  • A permanent home for 4H and Future Farmers of America
  • Large Horse Show grounds hosting all disciplines
  • The Historic Rogers House, open to the public during Fair week/Private use
  • Ag History Project, hosts Kindergarten through 3rd grade during fall and spring for lessons on living in the “olden days”
  • Home for Salsipuedes Little League
  • Home for Ocean Speedway
  • Facilities available for quinceaneras, weddings, clubs, private and corporate events.

This vital community asset wouldn’t exist at all without philanthropy. We rely on charitable gifts from friends like you to maintain our programs, create new ones, and promote family values.

If you haven’t yet sent your contribution, I hope you’ll do so today. The will very much appreciate any amount you are able to give.

Thank you for your support and community investment.

The Yes on Measure T yard signs say at the bottom "jobs and public safety," that doesn'tRead More seem all that separate to me.

@sweetcakes: on all that we definitely agree!

Cathy, when I was hired at the Federal agency I work at, I had to sign an agreement regarding notRead More violating the Hatch act and not being involved in any political matter. In my position it could be construed that my agency supports one political idea or agenda. (I am in a high level position). I have always honored and respected the Hatch Act and will continue to do so. I did write a letter to the editor of the local paper a few years back on a hot topic and heard from my regional manager about it and also had my front window bashed in at my home, so I continue to post as sweetcakes. I also watched the complete city council meeting on TV and was disgusted by how the city manager and council interact with the public and ideas presented. It doesn't appear that city management and council members actually seek and use public input and ideas when making decisions. The only member on the council that thinks about the topic at hand and asks intelligent questions is Dr. Bilicich. I guess this is why the majority never wanted her as mayor. Dodge is using his position on the council to push his agenda. Measure T goes against what LAFCO (Dodge is chairman of LAFCO) stands for. He shouldn't even be on the LAFCO commission because of his involvement on Measure T. The goal of LAFCO is to guide urban development away from prime agricultural lands and open space resources; to promote orderly growth; and to discourage urban sprawl. I guess he was appointed at Alejo's command to push the agenda of paving over our valuable farmland. Vote NO on T

I used my yes on T flier to line the birdcage. It pissed my parrot off so much, he bit me!

We got one too sweetcakes (some caring person actually tucked it into my door handle so it wouldn'tRead More blow away) even though I have a "No on T" sign in my yard. The "Yes on T" is all lies anyway so it went right into my recycle bin. Perhaps it was just coincidence but they came while we were at the City Council meeting last night. Go figure.
