Luna Vista hears about the history of the Yolo County Fair

President Vinnie got things rolling as his year is coming to a close.  ADG John Martin joined us again along with Raylene & Duane Ewing.  We also had some kids in attendance - Alex who graduated 6th grade and Devraj who just moved up to the rank of Bear in Cub Scouts.  Victoria alerted us to a great project building a mosaic bench on the corner of Elm & Cross.  HD were given for the Woodland Community Harvest donating over 400 lbs. last week, weddings, the kid's accomplishment, celebrating Vinnie's demotion, & Father's Day.  We had another PHF presentation for Cass & Lynette.  Our program was from Rita Moore the CEO of the Yolo County Fair.  She went over the long history of the Fair (1st one was in 1893!), the various locations prior to the current location (1940) and how various parts of the fair (FFA animals, Sugar Queen) evolved into the fair.  Rita also talked about several other activities that happen on the fair grounds like acting as an evacuation center, especially for animals.  They also host lots of training for police and fire agencies.  She also discussed how and why the Fair will remain the largest free fair in California.

 Lynette is happy to get her first PHF!!
