Saturday, September 2nd opens with more livestock judging and closes with the ever popular destruction derby and the Chad Bushnell Band. Sunday September 3rd begins with local team roping, Dairy and Boer Goat judging, with the Diaper Derby in the afternoon followed by the Jr. Livestock Auction.

The fair is a wonderful opportunity to support our hardworking, dedicated 4-H and FFA members. These kids work tirelessly on their projects, and the experience teaches them a multitude of life skills. Come on over to Mariposa County and enjoy our unique, historic county fair. I hope to see you there, and as always, I encourage farmers, ranchers and conservators to invite friends, neighbors and family members to join the collective voice of the Farm Bureau. Together, we can make our organization stronger than ever, one member at a time.
