Counties Exhibits
In the 1870’s, the California State Fair implemented a new program designed to reach out to all of California’s 58 Counties and provide a venue to showcase each county’s unique attributes. For well over 100 years, the Counties Exhibit Program continues to be a one of a kind exhibit, as this is the only fair in the nation that showcases each county within a s

tate. This unique program allows fairgoers to travel throughout the state in the space of one building, the California Building. Located in the center of the fairgrounds, visitors flock to see their county’s display. Each year the exhibits are vastly different, finding new avenues to present agriculture, art, lifestyles, industry, commerce, recreation, tourism, culture, history, natural resources, entertainment, and any other subject unique to a county. Visitors can experience and learn features about counties they may not have known before, making it a useful tool in marketing. This makes for the perfect opportunity to capture the attention of potential California tourists, inspiring them to visit different counties, resulting in economic benefits for
individual counties. The Counties Exhibits Program is also a competition. Counties create exciting and unique displays annually hoping for high awards and cash prizes. They are judged based on their content, marketability, creativity, craftsmanship, and use of technology. Scores tabulated on these categories determine whether they are given a gold, silver, or bronze award. There are also many special awards, including the Peoples’ Choice, Most Educational and Most Fun,
all based on fair-long voting from visitors to the California Building.

2013 People's Choice Awards were announced yesterday. Fair visitors voted the following:
Most Educational - Inyo County
Most Fun - Glenn County
People's Choice - Placer County

And, the Manager's Award went to Solano County for their consistent exhibit staffing and Travis AFB personnel on board (pun intended) for many days of the fair.

Congratulations to these counties and to all the counties who participated and built amazing, educational and fun exhibits.

Today is the last opportunity to see the exhibits and to tell the volunteers from the counties who staff the exhibits that you appreciate them.
