WELCOME ABOARD<br />
Michael H. Bradley<br />
Chief Executive Officer<br />
It is my distinct honor to welcome you to the 2016 edition of the<br />
California Mid- State Fair set for July 20- 31 in beautiful Paso Robles.<br />
This fair is a national treasure. Perhaps no fair in America can boast<br />
it’s decades of success, not to mention that it has set the standard for<br />
which other fairs across the nation are measured. That combination of<br />
World Class Entertainment, fair food, 4-H, brilliant flowers, blue ribbons,<br />
rodeo, FFA, local talent, apple pie, Carnival, wonderful landscapes<br />
and livestock is unequalled for 12 fun packed days. Bring your family,<br />
connect with neighbors, enjoy Gold Medal wines and just plain “people<br />
watch”. Special areas of the fairgrounds include Mission Square where<br />
fine wine and great music provide a relaxing but memorable atmosphere,<br />
the always amazing Frontier Stage performances and then who can forget Jimmy’s, the hot night spot to find<br />
old friends and the best place to meet new ones. Fairs are about memories. They provide a glimpse of yesterday’s<br />
traditions, today’s popular culture and tomorrow’s dreams. The California Mid State Fair is dedicated to reflecting<br />
the state’s 16th Agricultural District through a diverse showcase which presents locally grown agricultural products,<br />
people, industry, talent, natural resources, Big Name entertainment, our region’s communities and what’s new in the<br />
market place. Most of all we are dedicated to families and fun!<br />
As a 4th generation Californian, I encourage you to attend the fair many times and join us as we celebrate what is<br />
best about the Central Coast of our Golden State. We welcome your comments and invite you to become a member of<br />
Our Heritage Foundation or Friends of the Fair Volunteer organization. All the best!<br />
Michael Bradley, CEO<br />
