Subject:Contra Costa County Participation at the 2012 California State Fair
BACKGROUND:
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 FFA and 4-H youth to use the skills they have learned in their programs 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.
Recently, the booth has had 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 the Brentwood
Chapter of the Future Farmers of America (FFA).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would not be able to participate in the 2012 California State Fair.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
