After two years of not having the biggest event in our County, our El Dorado County Fair is back this week! As all of you know, our lives the last two years have been complicated to say the least. In 2020, the Fair Association had to cancel the Fair due to COVID. In 2021, they had scheduled a smaller version in September and then the biggest catastrophe hit our community, the Caldor Fire. So, to say that our community needs to have an event just for fun, is an understatement.
This year’s theme – “The Magic Is Back” is such an appropriate theme for this event. So, bring the family and enjoy all that this year’s fair has to offer.

Junior Livestock Auction is the culmination of a year’s activity for El Dorado County’s 4-H and FFA exhibitors. These young exhibitors select, feed and groom their animals, and the El Dorado County Fair is where they present their projects to the judge and receive the monetary value for their product along with public recognition for their efforts.

Don’t Forget the Carnival….Do you remember how much fun riding those carnival rides were?! Well, they’re here again, so take some time to investigate the rides and games that are waiting for you and your family this year. |
 One last note...the El Dorado County Fair Association is a 501c3 non-profit and I wanted to clarify that the Fair Association does not receive any on-going funding from our County. So, I’m excited to support this non-profit as it provides so much to our community, and am looking forward to my whole family enjoying the El Dorado County Fair this year and hope to see you and yours there too!!
