Fairer things to come: All Alaskan Pedal Drags (left) and Slim & Minnie (right) at\u00a0Plumas-Sierra County Fair<\/p>\n

When you talk about your summer, hopefully it’s been fair–as in county fair. California’s network of 76 fairgrounds\u00a0are a way of life for some. They are hubs of economic activity, generating millions of dollars for the state and local economies. They provide $855 million in annual income for over 25,000 full-time workers and generate $2.8 billion, or $126 million in sales taxes. This week several\u00a0fairs that began in July draw to a close on Sunday as the Orange County Fair finishes a month-long run, Sonoma County Fair begins packing up, and\u00a0Ventura County Fair says ‘so long’\u00a0for another year.<\/p>\n
