County Fair Call for Entries- Deadline Sept. 8
The heart and soul of any county fair is the participation of the residents of the county. From agriculture, floriculture, and home arts to photography and fine arts, there is a category for your interest or hobby. A blue ribbon, a shiny trophy — these are what motivate our participants to enter the San Benito County Fair year after year. That motivation allows you to see the best our county has to offer.
Whether your interest is in obtaining the perfect recipe for a rich chocolate cake or stopping to smell the sweet fragrance of a single rose, the County Fair is sure to have an exhibit that will tickle your fancy. The fine work done by the residents of the community, especially in quilt making, is a pleasure to see. Don’t miss viewing their exhibits. San Benito County has more than its share of talented artists and the display of fine arts is worth experiencing.
