While COVID-19 has halted operations at fairgrounds throughout the State since March of this year, it has not stopped them for rising up to help in times of emergency like now. Did you know that currently there are 11 fairgrounds activated as disaster relief centers throughout California? In August, there were 20 fairgrounds that were activated to serve their communities in times of dire need.

 

At the Fresno Fairgrounds we are honored to be able to assist with the Creek Fire Evacuation needs. This is just one of the essential roles that we play in our community. This can be said for fairs throughout the state and nation. That is why it is important to support these two Congressional bills aimed to help save fairs and ensure they are around for years to come – to continue serving our communities.

 

  • R. 7745, Protecting Fairs During Coronavirus Act
  • R. 7883, the Agricultural Fairs Rescue Act

 

Click here to find out how you can support these bills and help save fairgrounds by reaching out to your local representatives.

 

In times of uncertainty like now, one thing is certain – fairgrounds stand ready to serve their communities. Let’s make sure they are around in years to come! Support your local fair and fairgrounds!
