Cooperative Extension staff and Contra Costa County 4-H members. In order to have a booth at the California State Fair, the County must get approval by their Board of Supervisors. Additionally, the County is required to provide proof of commercial general liability insurance coverage at all times (July 14, 2009 through September 13, 2009) while the County or its agents have access to the Cal Expo grounds. Participation at the California State Fair is an opportunity to further promote our County’s resources from agricultural to business, commerce, recreational opportunities and all the amenities Contra Costa County has to offer. There is also a potential for award monies for the County Booth. For the 2009 Contra Costa County State Fair Booth the designee for the award monies will be the Contra Costa County U.C. Cooperative Extension Program and the Contra Costa County 4-H program. ATTACHMENTS State Fair Booth App
