Fair U is filling up!

2/24/2011

We've obviously struck a educational gold mine. People are clamoring for space in Fair U. Maybe it's the free t-shirt when you pre-register, or maybe it's the lure of learning how to make your own soap, but we've had an impressive response to this effort to encourage people to enter things into the fair. Mother Nature wants us to put off the event until March 26. Our Master Food Preserver didn't think he would make it up. So, that's fine. Let's wait for better weather and maybe more people can make it now.

Please consider writing your legislator about opposing the 100% funding cut to fairs in California. There are links to their addresses on the home page.

A Field Trip to Sacramento

2/16/2011

I made it to Sacramento twice last week to appear before the budget sub-committees for the State Assembly and Senate. Over half the fairs in California were in attendance and spoke to why fairs are important to our state. The politicians were very sympathetic and obviously are fair supporters. However, they all talked about how this budget was going to hurt, and fairs might be injured. Our goal as an industry was to have the sub-committees hold the issue of cutting our funds open for further discussion. They agreed to do so and we are working on ways to keep fairs funded. Fairs have a lot of friends in the legislature, we hope they stick with us.
