NEW!! Heritage Foundation Youth Market Hog

Starting in 2010 the Santa Cruz County Fair Heritage Foundation will sponsor a youth in the raising of a Market Hog for the Santa Cruz County Fair Livestock Auction for the purpose of raising funds. Proceeds will benefit the Heritage Foundation which raises funds to support Capitol Improvements for the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. The youth selected to raise the Heritage Hog will be an exhibitor who is eligible to enter, show and sell a Market Hog at the Fair, as outlined by State and local rules, and who is in good standing with their FFA chapter, 4-H club or Grange and the Santa Cruz County Fair Livestock Committee Superintendent. Whenever possible, the 4-H exhibitors will be selected in even years; FFA exhibitors will be selected in odd years.

This year the Heritage Foundation is looking for a 4-H member to raise a Market hog for the 2010 Santa Cruz County Fair Junior Livestock Auction. The Foundation will provide seed money for the animal feed, and any other reasonable expenses. The child will receive and personalized Foundation jacket as well as his/her name engraved on the perpetual plaque. Link to pdf of the application. Any questions please call the Foundation at 831-612-9118 and leave a message.

The Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds is one of the treasures of the Central Coast—providing a unique venue for recreation, education, science, sports, and charitable activities that enrich our community. It is utilized by companies, schools and community groups year-round. The Fairgrounds also plays an important role as an evacuation center for people and animals in the tri-County area in the event of a fire or other natural disaster.

fairThe subsidies from California horseracing which supported the Fairgrounds in the past have dwindled, resulting in the need for annual fundraising. To help the Fairgrounds maintain a high level of excellence in its facilities, the Santa Cruz County Fair Heritage Foundation raises funds with the help of volunteers and implements capital improvement projects on the grounds.
