The Big Fresno Fair was featured in last week’s episode of Valley PBS’s “American Grown: My Job Depends on Ag”. The episode features one of our very own Deputy Managers, Lauri King and a few of the hard-working 4-H and FFA students who showcased their animal projects at the 2020 Big Fresno Fair’s Livestock Auction and Show!
Agriculture is the foundation backbone of our Fair and our community. Our Fair and others throughout California and the nation provide a platform for our 4-H and FFA youth to connect with one another, share their agriculture knowledge with the community, develop their marketing and public speaking skills and continue to grow as leaders in our community.
