Subject:Contra Costa County Participation at the 2014 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 agriculture
to business, commerce to recreational opportunities and all the amenities Contra Costa County has to offer.
Additionally, the County booth participation is an avenue for FFA and 4-H youth to use the skills they have learned
in their program and to contribute back their community.
There is also a potential for award monies for the County booth. In 2012 the Contra Costa County State Fair Booth
received a Silver Award and $4,015.34.
In recent years the Contra Costa County booth has had great success and was put together by East County resident
Deborah Spinola with assistance by FFA 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 and the Brentwood Chapter of the Future of Famers of
America (FFA)
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not be able to participate in the 2014 California State Fair.
