Monterey County Fair has new theme for 2009

April 2, 2009

The 73rd annual Monterey County Fair, this year with the theme of “Reel in the Fun,” will be held August 12-16 at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. The five-day event allows visitors “to celebrate Monterey County’s coastal wonders, abundant agriculture and family fun for everyone,” according to Kelly Baldwin, CEO of the Monterey County Fair.

The theme of this year’s event, Baldwin, added, “Represents the essence of the fair; a place where the community can come together to celebrate all that Monterey County has to offer, both on land and below the bay. The fair has something for everyone; entertainment, agriculture, education, fun-fair-food and Monterey County wine.”

“The fair is an excellent opportunity to learn about our communities’ history and heritage. From produce to aquaculture, livestock to home arts, the Monterey County Fair is filled with education and entertainment for the whole family.”
