Ads designed – check. Website updated – check. Facebooked, myspaced, and tweeted about the free celebrity concerts and exciting motorsports events that will be at the Fair every night – check.  The only thing left to check off my list is to enjoy the opening of the Stanislaus County Fair!  The Fair is opening this Friday, July 31 for a 10-day run.

The 72-acre fairgrounds are located at 900 N. Broadway in Turlock. Now in its 98^th year, Fair officials have been working year round to plan for the annual family extravaganza.

It’s the proverbial evening before the big day – no cold feet around here! Ready or not, here comes the fair.

There was excitement in the crowd, the animals were all on their best behavior, and the auctioneer was speaking faster than the speed of light at last year’s Annual Replacement Heifer Sale at the Stanislaus County Fair.  Last year was my first experience at the auction. I had tagged along with my friend and her family, who owns a dairy in Modesto to see for myself what her family had talked about so often.

Though we are still two weeks away from the opening of your Stanislaus County Fair, our fairgrounds is already full of activity. It’s the time of year when we start to compress a lot of work into a little bit of time.

No sooner than the Turlock Chamber finished hosting thousands of guests on our fairgrounds for the 4^th of July, our team at the Stanislaus County Fair has shifted into high gear to prep our grounds and buildings for a celebration of our own.

The annual Stanislaus County Fair is a celebration of food, family, and summer fun and this year we are also celebrating the many things we do to help keep our planet green.

What better way to kick off the Fair than to have 13 FREE horse and mule shows!  It will be full of speed, poise, discipline and excitement!
