Subject:Contra Costa County Participation at the 2009 California State Fair
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Spinola has offered to be the lead on the booth and is hoping to work with the U.C.
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.
