one to the other and she wants to make sure those vendors are able to attend.

Talking with the Ventura County Reporter on Oct. 12, Quaid clarified that fair dates in October or later were “never considered” and that a conversation mentioning that at one time the fair took place in October was just that, a conversation. The flexibility she is seeking is to ensure that all departments and “business partners” are considered.

Parents of youth livestock raisers, breeders and community members questioned this rationale, saying that local vendors could be tapped if needed and that the priority should be local youth: If the fair is moved much later, many kids could not attend due to school and other commitments.

A fair date taking place when school is in session was particularly concerning to parents in light of the pandemic and what kids have experienced over the past 18+ months. Parents said children couldn’t possibly miss any more school, nor should the board expect maximum fair attendance if school is in session. Such a change, some said, would likely decrease the fair’s income overall.

“This community is invested in the Ventura County Fair, from photo submissions in the photography building to raising animals for the junior livestock auction, the joy of carnival wristband days and the talent of youth building art,” said Hook. When asked about what the futures looks like for the youth livestock events at the fair, she responded, “We’re not sure what Barbara Quaid is planning on doing with the livestock department. She won’t tell us, so we’re left to guess. Based on some of her comments like ‘we may look at doing some of those events prior to fair dates,’ our concern is that she’ll remove livestock from the fair.” If that’s the case, Hook said, “our local 4H, FFA [ Future Farmers of America], Grange and independent ag kids won’t get to be a part of the yearly tradition [of the fair]. I think the public would really miss having the animals there, too.”

“The livestock department is absolutely a priority for us,” said Quaid. When pressed about her comments about the livestock events taking place at a differnt time, she said “anything is possible.” She noted that other counties have experimented with having livestock events outside of fair dates. “It worked for some, but not for others...our livestock events are very important to us, it is a matter of making it work within the dates [of the fair].”

Quaid also emphasized that it’s normal for the dates to be finalized during the October meeting of the fair board. She confirmed that she will have recommended dates for 2022 at the Oct. 26 fair board meeting.

“Local family and business names are literally carved into the bricks that lead up to those fair gates,” said Hook. “This same community just wants to be heard. And if the public comments at the Sept. 28 board of directors meeting are any indication, this community wants their Ventura County Fair back in August and resembling the fair we all love so much.” www.venturacountyfair.org
