Subject:Contra Costa County Participation at the 2011 California State Fair
RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board to sign the 2011 Counties Exhibits
Entry Form; and
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE East County Resident Deborah Spinola to work with the
Contra Costa County Fair Board and the Contra Costa County U.C. Cooperative
Extension and the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on the development of a
plan for participation at the 2011 California State Fair.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Potential award monies, which would be a positive cash revenue support to go towards
programs including the UC Cooperative Extension.
BACKGROUND:
At the 2010 California State Fair the Contra Costa County Booth received a Silver Ribbon
and received $4,747.60. The booth was a great success and was put together, by East
County resident Deborah Spinola and 4-H youth. Mrs. Spinola has again offered to be the
lead on the booth and is currently 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 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 and the 2010
Contra Costa County State Fair Booth also received a Silver Ribbon and received $4,747.60
which was designated to help fund the Contra Costa County U.C. Cooperative Extension
Program and the Contra Costa County 4-H program.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would not be able to participate at the 2011 California State Fair and any prize
money the County would have won would be forfeited.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
