Congratulations to Bill & Carol Chandler who were selected by the California State Fair Board of Directors as its Agriculturalists of the Year! Carol has previously served as part of The Big Fresno Fair’s Board of Directors from 1992 – 1995. During her time on the board, Carol helped launch the popular Fair Education Program, which allows Fresno County public, private and home schooled kindergarten through eighth grade students to visit the Fair FREE of charge in an educational setting. Since the start of the program 27 years ago, more than 508,000 Fresno County students and teachers have participated in this educational field trip!
Carol is currently still an avid volunteer for the Fair Education Program today. Along with this, Bill and Carol Chandler are also donors to our Champions Club and Friends of The Big Fresno Fair, the Fair’s non-profit 501 (c)(3) Foundation, which supports the Fair’s vast educational programs, the two award winning museums on our Fairgrounds and the continued improvement of the Fairgrounds for future generations to enjoy.
Thank you Bill and Carol for your wonderful contributions to our Fair and congratulations for being recognized by the California State Fair as Agriculturists of the Year!
