Santa Barbara Fair and Expo ended it’s annual five day run on Sunday after bringing Barrels of Fun, Laughs, Smiles and Happiness to thousands of Fairgoers. Thanks to all of the community who came together once again to enjoy barrels of fun at the Santa Barbara Fair and Expo.
To the creative Santa Barbarians who exhibited your finest art, plants, baked goods, sewing projects, children’s projects and more in the Exhibit Building; to the local musicians and the other performers who presented your spectacular acts on the Rock ’n Barrel Stage and the Barrel of Monkeys Stage; to the thrill seekers, who came to ride Turbo, the Mega Drop and the Zipper on the exciting Carnival Midway; to the moms and dads who introduced your children to the farm animals at our educational Livestock Area; to the local media who helped us get the word out about Santa Barbara‘s premier, family event, and the Barrels of Fun that it would bring; to the sponsors, who bore some of the costs of presenting you with a top notch fun fair; to the many volunteers who assisted in maintaining the fair, hanging the exhibits, advising guests and presenting the fair’s friendly face; to the members of Vandenberg Space Force Base who tirelessly kept the fair a safe and carefree place for all.
To all of you, and all of our neighbors and friends, we thank you very much. We know we couldn’t do it without you and we look forward to seeing you at Earl Warren Showgrounds throughout the year. We hope you enjoyed your Barrels of Fun and we look forward to bringing you more of the family fun you have come to know and love next year when we bring you the 2024 Santa Barbara Fair & Expo.
