Subject:Contra Costa County Participation at the 2010 California State Fair
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
on the booth and is currently to working with the Contra Costa County 4-H members and
U.C. Cooperative Extension staff.
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 (June 25 2010 through August 7, 2010)
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. Additionally, County Booth participation is an
avenue for 4-H youth to use the skills they have learned in their program to contribute back
to their community.
There is also a potential for award monies for the County Booth. The 2009 Contra Costa
County State Fair Booth received a Silver Ribbon and received $ 4,413.52 which was
designated to help fund the Contra Costa County U.C. Cooperative Extension Program and
the Contra Costa County 4-H program.
