Expositions team led by John Quiroz for finding creative ways to support local fair boards to safely proceed with virtual livestock exhibitions and auctions in support of youth projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we can\u2019t know when, we do know fair season will return.&nbsp; In the meantime I salute the Network of Fairs as we work together to stabilize funding and look for more efficient and effective ways for the operation of these important facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a 4-H kid who loved the annual county fair growing up, I have a special appreciation for our state\u2019s fairgrounds and the people who operate them.\u00a0 I am especially grateful for the evolution of these properties into a critically &hellip;
