GLENN COUNTY WINS AT 2010 STATE FAIR -This year’s Glenn County Exhibit received a second place Silver Award!

Glenn County is one of only thirty counties participating in this year’s Counties Exhibits Program at the California State Fair.  The Counties Exhibits have been a longstanding fan favorite at the State Fair. They continue to draw crowds of fairgoers supporting their favorite counties!       

You can still get in on the fun and volunteer to staff our Glenn County Exhibit! Volunteers are needed now through August 1, 2010. Volunteers work four hour shifts leaving plenty of time to enjoy the fair.  The fair is open to the public from Noon to 10:00 PM Monday through Thursday and from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Volunteers are provided with entrance and parking passes and seating for two inside the exhibit. Requirements for the volunteers are as follows: 18 years or older, must reside or be employed in Glenn County, must be reliable, prompt, friendly and willing to converse with the public. 

If you can’t participate this year we will soon begin planning for the 2011 exhibit.  Residents and business owners are encouraged to participate.  You can volunteer to staff the exhibit, join the State Fair Steering Committee or donate funding and/or commodities.  We are also taking letters of interest from those who want to assist with the design and construction of the 2011 exhibit.

Anyone interested should contact Jennifer Cannizzaro at (530) 934-6530 or (530) 865-2782.
