Throwback Thursday – Pop Laval Edition

The Big Fresno Fair has always provided a place to showcase the agriculture in the Central Valley through exhibits and educational attractions! The Wells Fargo Agriculture Building is the hub to learn and showcase why Fresno County is the world’s top agricultural area! Since 1884, communities in Fresno County have entered their booths to showcase varieties of locally-grown crops that are grown right in their backyard.
