Agriculture Building Displays – How Does It Work?

Ever wonder what it takes to put together the amazing displays in the Agriculture Building at The Big Fresno Fair? At this year’s Fair, it took 50 volunteers, four hours to change out the produce from each community display to keep the produce looking fresh for the duration of the 12-day Fair!

Check out this cool time-lapse video by our Building Superintendent, Cindy Suarez of how our volunteers were hard at work switching the produce over!
