CALIFORNIA MID-STATE FAIR 

OFFICIAL PROGRAM 

2016 

PASO ROBLES, CA 

July 20-31 

The Adventure Continues...

PRESIDENT’S WELCOME 

Bob Lilley 

President 

The California Mid-State Fair Staff and Board of Directors would like 

to welcome you to the 70th annual Fair in Paso Robles July 20-31, 

2016. This year’s theme, “The Adventure Continues…”, showcases 

the community coming together for fun, family, friendship, education, 

entertainment, and a celebration of our long standing western heritage. 

Top notch entertainment, agricultural activities, and the spirit of 

competition will be highlighted during this year’s Fair. The Fair’s 

mission to preserve, promote, and showcase agriculture and the 

traditions of San Luis Obispo County will be met with competitive 

livestock and horse shows, and an expanded Rodeo line-up. Grandstand and free stage entertainment will feature 

some of the biggest names in the business. 

This year also represents a significant change in leadership for the California Mid-State Fair and Paso Robles Event 

Center. Long term Chief Executive Officer Vivian Robertson retired in 2015, creating a nationwide search for a new CEO. 

The Board of Directors and Staff would like to thank Patricia Kress, 2016 Interim CEO, for her service and welcome 

new Chief Executive Officer, Michael Bradley, who will lead the organization into the future. 

The hard work of the staff, dedicated volunteers, sponsors, and the Board of Directors all contribute to making the 

“Biggest Little Fair Anywhere” a huge success.

WELCOME ABOARD 

Michael H. Bradley 

Chief Executive Officer 

It is my distinct honor to welcome you to the 2016 edition of the 

California Mid- State Fair set for July 20- 31 in beautiful Paso Robles. 

This fair is a national treasure. Perhaps no fair in America can boast 

it’s decades of success, not to mention that it has set the standard for 

which other fairs across the nation are measured. That combination of 

World Class Entertainment, fair food, 4-H, brilliant flowers, blue ribbons, 

rodeo, FFA, local talent, apple pie, Carnival, wonderful landscapes 

and livestock is unequalled for 12 fun packed days. Bring your family, 

connect with neighbors, enjoy Gold Medal wines and just plain “people 

watch”. Special areas of the fairgrounds include Mission Square where 

fine wine and great music provide a relaxing but memorable atmosphere, 

the always amazing Frontier Stage performances and then who can forget Jimmy’s, the hot night spot to find 

old friends and the best place to meet new ones. Fairs are about memories. They provide a glimpse of yesterday’s 

traditions, today’s popular culture and tomorrow’s dreams. The California Mid State Fair is dedicated to reflecting 

the state’s 16th Agricultural District through a diverse showcase which presents locally grown agricultural products, 

people, industry, talent, natural resources, Big Name entertainment, our region’s communities and what’s new in the 

market place. Most of all we are dedicated to families and fun! 

As a 4th generation Californian, I encourage you to attend the fair many times and join us as we celebrate what is 

best about the Central Coast of our Golden State. We welcome your comments and invite you to become a member of 

Our Heritage Foundation or Friends of the Fair Volunteer organization. All the best!

HERITAGE FOUNDATION 

The Heritage Foundation, a non-profit public benefit 

corporation 501(c)(3), has been hugely 

instrumental in the success of the 16th District 

Agricultural Association. The community’s 

overwhelming and appreciated response shines 

through in the countless enhancements that have 

been made to the facility since 1999. Visitors can 

take great pride in the notable amount of capital 

investment made within the facility, most notably the 

Equestrian Center, Livestock Pavilion, Heritage 

Building, Section 8 Grandstand, the Stockyard 

Pavilion, Mission Square area (including the 

commercial kitchen), demonstration kitchen 

(adjoining Estrella Hall), and many other smaller 

projects completed over the years. 

At the conclusion of this year’s Fair, the Heritage 

Foundation will begin construction on brand new 

commercial buildings that will house our Jr. 

Livestock show. A special “Goodbye Barn” party will 

be held on August 28… tickets for the party will be 

available for purchase at the Heritage Foundation 

office during this year’s Mid-State Fair! 

The Heritage Foundation, now boasting over 200 

memberships, has never veered from their mission 

to: preserve and enrich the heritage of the 16th 

District Agricultural Association and showcase 

agricultural industries to the community; offer 

support to the 4-H and FFA projects and create 

agricultural education opportunities; maintain a 

standard of excellence in the facilities and create 

capital improvement opportunities; and to serve as 

an arm of the California Mid-State Fair that can 

accept charitable donations. 

If you would like further information on joining the 

California Mid-State Fair Heritage Foundation, please 

feel free to call (805) 238-3745, or visit us online at: 

www.thecmsfheritagefoundation.org. 

On behalf of the California Mid-State Fair, we extend 

a huge “THANK YOU” to our Heritage Foundation for 

all that they do!!!
