ormally Airport Boulevard and Highway 152 handle the cars and farm trucks pretty well. But those who routinely travel some portion of Airport to Holohan to Hwy 152 and on to the Fair know what “Traffic Jam” means. The second week of September is guaranteed to produce long lines making the trek to our annual celebration. Before you head to this year’s fair grab the attached map and use it to find a road less traveled. It isn’t necessarily shorter in distance but may be quicker in time. At the very least following roads with names like Casserly and Carlton will certainly take you through some beautiful country. Let there be no doubt, the 2013 Santa Cruz County Fair is worth the trip and this year you can navigate the back roads like a local.

Fair Managers Message bein
As
your Fairgrounds Manager I want to personally thank all of the people in our community who are working so incredibly hard to maintain our Fairgrounds as the amazing community resource that it has been since the property was purchased in 1937. All of the people who are renting the facilities, writing the checks to improve our buildings and grounds, and volunteering their time & talents are making huge improvements to the condition of the buildings, grounds, and finances. The annual Santa Cruz County Fair is Tuesday, September 10 – Sunday, September 15. Department heads have created and implemented many new ideas and exhibits for this year’s fair. You’ll find a revised entry guide and simplified entry system. Some departments have been relocated
ge David Ke
to freshen up the excitement. We are also going to have Valet Parking available for $20 during the entire 2013 fair. Drive into the marked lane behind the Heritage Hall to avoid traffic & distant parking. With Valet service you will have an opportunity to purchase fair admissions or redeem your passes at a special entrance between the Heritage Hall and the Floriculture Building.Attend this year’s new Opening Night Gala in the Heritage Hall. Tickets include Valet parking, admission, premium beverages & special foods including those from Bill the Oyster Man, plus Rodgers House tours. Please come out and help me thank the many creative volunteers and employees of the Santa Cruz County Fair. And while you’re here try and have a little fun. Actually when you are at the Fair it is almost impossible not to have a lot of fun!

2013 Board President’s Welcome This year’s Fair is both new and wonderfully the same. The grounds are absolutely beautiful with an abundance of blooming flowers and over 150 additional trees to help create a more park like setting in the upcoming years. And while the Fair is bringing back many of your favorites the word we have been using a lot is “New.” On the grounds the word new applies to the newly widened Horse Show Gate, a brand new gate between Floriculture and Heritage Hall. This gate will be used for Valet Parking during the Fair. Yes, Valet Parking! And new landscaping around the Rodgers House will dress up the main gate. The Rodgers House is also getting a completely new patio, garden and sitting area to make it even more inviting for our guests. Some of what’s new is hard to spot like the improved water system, a lot more drip irrigation, and an

earthquake safe Hog Barn. There’s a new livestock washing area and 150 freshly painted box stalls for our horse shows. The Fair too is benefitting from the word new. Several departments such as Youth, Home Arts and Amateur Wine have moved so make sure you have one of our Getting Around Maps to help you track them down. As you stroll Apple Blossom and Fiesta Lanes new food booths will join your old favorites to offer the best in great Fair food. The Volunteer Management Team has done a fantastic job this year under the leadership of Dave Kegebein. So I wish to welcome each and every one of you to our new and improved Fairgrounds. I hope you and your family will have fun and get a chance to see what these volunteers have accomplished. Please tell everyone you know to come on out and enjoy the 2013 Fair and our tribute to “Cowboy Boots and Country Roots.” Loretta Estrada

The Sea Lions Return! It just so happens that one of the top attractions at the 2013 Santa
Cruz County Fair was one of the top attractions at the 2012 Fair. Sea Lion Encounter returns to guaranteed packed stands for two shows daily and make for one of the wettest, most amusing attractions at the Fair. The Sea Lions are part of an innovative program called SLEWTHS (Science, Learning and Experimenting With The Help of Sea Lions). Under the coordination of Dr. Jenifer A. Hurley, the program’s director of research and training, SLEWTHS is dedicated to learning more about sea lions and people cooperating in the interest of marine conservation, research and education. Fairgoers will have the opportunity to view and learn more about Dr. Hurley’s famous sea lions each day of the Fair, including the opportunity to ask questions about these fascinating marine mammals. In addition, scheduled training demonstrations will take place each day. “We’ve even set up a splash zone,” added

entertainment director Read Zaro. “Caution, you might get wet!” A main tank holding 20,000+ gallons of water will serve as the performing stage with a 10,000 gallon tank backstage that provides a rest area. And Dr. Hurley or her assistants can often be found with their troupe throughout the day even when not performing. The sea lions are given the best care, living up to the highest ethical standards. In addition to providing an entertaining exhibit for the Fair, SLEWTHS also provides educational opportunities for young people. In addition to providing an entertaining exhibit for the Fair, SLEWTHS also provides educational opportunities for young people. Junior Internship opportunities are available, enabling young people to help train and care for the sea lions. These hands-on experiences provide the perfect opportunity for students with an interest in marine mammals to gain practical knowledge and training.
All-Alaskan Racing Pigs The racing pigs return to the beautiful
lawn near the Livestock Area, bringing cheering crowds to the Santa Cruz County Fair. These prestigious porkers have appeared in hundreds of television news reports and over 500 newspaper articles, and they’re returning to the Santa Cruz Fair for three appearances daily. Although the Alaska State Fair has been their home site for 26 years, they have a soft spot for Santa Cruz County, according to manager Bart Noll. “We first played here in 1988 and had a blast – the Santa Cruz County Fair fans are the best!” he says, adding that they’ve returned almost two dozen times since.
races. Bart Noll admits that his eight pigs are a little spoiled. They live in an air-conditioned trailer, eat well and get a fresh cedar or pine bedding change twice daily. “They love what they do,” Bart says, “and they like people and are fun to work with.” Watch to see which one of the All-Alaskan Racing Pigs tries to hog the limelight at races held every day in their Fair home on the Livestock Lawn
Two of the main ingredients for the AllAlaskan Racing Pig shows are comedy and competition. These perky pigs are natural hams, so to speak, and they’ve brought home the bacon at shows all over the western U.S. and Alaska. Another important ingredient of the race is cookies, which is the treat that the pigs are racing to win. Each race only lasts about six seconds (these pigs are fast!) and each 20-minute show features four

Yesterday’s Farm
Many
times the docents at Yesterday’s Farm are asked, “Why do we need to preserve the history of agriculture and why is that history so important?” Their answer is that it shows how hard their ancestors worked as a family to produce the food for their kitchen table and for 100’s of other people that lived in nearby villages and cities. The Agricultural History Project’s (AHP) goal is to enrich the lives of its citizens with agricultural history and that is what Yesterday’s Farm works hard to do during the Santa Cruz County Fair. Yesterday’s Farm is located near the Heritage Hall and Rodgers House and is on the permanent site of the Agricultural History Project. At Yesterday’s Farm you will have
the opportunity to observe the Clydesdale horses that once tilled the soil and harvested crops. You will have a chance to view the 1000’s of artifacts that local farmers have given AHP; plows dating back to
1876, wagons and buggies from the 1880’s to the 1940’s and a time line of the events from 1800 to 2000. There is even the possibility of participating in a restoration project of one of the artifacts in AHP’s collection. You will have the opportunity to work alongside one or more of the volunteers who maintain the artifacts on a daily basis year around. If your interest is in wood working, you may work on a carriage or other historical item and if you are mechanically inclined you will have an opportunity to work on a tractor or one of the many implements that are housed in the AHP’s collection. A memory book will be made to recognize the people helping in the restoration program. Demonstrations of food preparation will be held at Claudia’s Kitchen and the Early Day Gas Engine and Tractor Association (Branch 3) will be showcasing their antique engines and implements. The spinners and weavers will again showcase the craft of spinning wool into yarn that is then used to make sweaters and other garments.

Lucha Libre Wrestles its Way into the Santa Cruz County Fair T
he Pro Wrestling Circuit will make a stop at the Santa Cruz County Fair. Since 2008, the Pro Wrestling Revolution, aka La Revolucion de la Lucha Libre, has had the goal of combing the best of old time wrestling with today’s modern artform. Part of the National Wrestling Alliance, the Pro Wrestling Revolution is popular throughout all the stops it makes in California. As the wrestlers make their way into the ring, the crowds cheer on their favorite contender. The energy in the bleachers is palpable and cannot be contained. Colorful masks and spandex are the attire of choice for the determined wrestlers. The two competitors face off in the arena. Eyeing each other warily, they both lurch forward when the starting bell rings. Trying out their best restraining moves, they both try to get their opponent to give out before the buzzer rings. Lucha Libre will take place on Sunday, September 15 at 7:30 PM on the Amphitheater stage at the Santa Cruz County Fair. This day will be the last day of the Fair, so this event will help to end the Fair with a bang. Plus, your ticket into the Fair is your ticket into an evening of Pro Wrestling.

His second single, “A Buncha Girls”, was released in 2011 and peaked at number 27. His latest single is entitled “Helluva Life.” According to Ballard, this song epitomizes his lifestyle, and is an anthem of a carefree life and enjoying the good times. Many of his posts on social media feature the hashtag #HelluvaLife. Even though his music is played on country radio, Ballard’s musical style is influenced by rock and roll. Staying true to his Michigan roots, Ballard covers Bob Seger during his performances using the songs to help bridge the gap between old and young.

Realizing an entrepreneurial opportunity, Ferrara filled a need that many in the Santa Cruz area wanted to see fulfilled. As a local musician, Ferrara plays at two venues every week. On Fridays it’s the Shadowbrook Restaurant in Capitola and Sundays he performs at The Cats Restaurant and Tavern in Los Gatos. If you are a Giants fan he is indeed the same Joe who has been singing the national anthem every year for the San Francisco Giants since 1981.

Mary Hopf t s i t r A r e t s o P
During the last half dozen years local artist Mary
Hopf has created the artwork that brought life to three different fair themes. In 2007 Hopf turned “Barn in the USA” into an all animal act on stage with cheering crowds celebrating the Fair. The 2008 theme was “Let
the Good Times Grow” and it was this very same artist who captured an excited tractor driver as he came upon the county fair spread out before him. That tractor driver looked a lot like someone named John Kegebein and was inspired by an actual photo of him on a tractor out on the Fairgrounds. Again in 2013 it is Hopf’s vision that best encapsulates the connection “Cowboy Boots and Country Roots” has to the Fair.

ach year the Agriculture/Horticulture Department reaches out to the community for a number of reasons. They need support from sponsors and donors, but most of all, it is essential that they have dozens of volunteers on hand to help with set up and daily operations. This is where high school students and Chef Anna Marie Gotti play a crucial role. Chef Anna has donated the entire week of the Fair for the past six years to oversee youth volunteers. She has trained them on proper kitchen set-up, safe food preparations, etiquette for serving food to the public, and kitchen clean up. A number of schools in the county encourage their students to fulfill their community service requirements by volunteering with local organizations and the Santa Cruz County Fair provides a wonderful opportunity for them to do so. The Santa Cruz County Fair prides itself on the fact that it is volunteer-run. Without the help of the community and people like Chef Anna, the Fair would be unable to operate. Here is what local Teacher/Advisor Kim Sakamoto of Renaissance High School and her student had to say about their experiences working with Chef Anna at last year’s Fair in the Harvest Kitchen: “Volunteering for the Harvest Kitchen provided our students with a remarkable opportunity to learn first-hand about large scale menu planning, food preparation, kitchen safety and interacting with the public. Chef Anna emphasized the value of teamwork and clear communication when working in a professional kitchen.” In her Rotary Student of the Month speech, student Rosalia Olvera reflected on her experience working with Chef Anna in the Harvest Kitchen. She said, “That day changed everything for me. I got to know the other students and rely on them. We worked as a team.” Rosalia is now enrolled in the Cabrillo College Culinary Arts Program. Her dream is to someday open her own pastry shop. In 2011, upon her return from deployment as a Red Cross Volunteer, Chef Anna was awarded the Ag/Hort Department Volunteer of the Year Award.

f you ask Fair Manager Dave Kegebein “So, tell me about something that’s new this year” he might just point to the Playhouse Stage over near Poultry and say “Go see Dr. Solar!” Dr. Solar’s GOOD TIME SUNSHINE TRAVELING MEDICINE SHOW offers unique family-friendly entertainment. His shows feature magic, mentalism, ventriloquism, animal production, old fashioned comedy, a little bit of flim-flam and a whole lot of pizazz. Terry Robinson, aka Dr. Solar, although born in San Francisco, spent his early years in Lompico here in northern Santa Cruz County. He later moved to Redwood City where he began his professional life as a ventriloquist at age ten with his knee pal, Ducky O’Neil, who is still part of the show.
In 1980 Robinson built his passive solar home in Mendocino County and lived twenty years off-grid, making him one of the early solar-living pioneers. His solar-themed entertainment was conceived in the mid 1990’s and Dr. Solar began to delight audiences with amusing tales of energy sustainability. Dr. Solar presently performs the eco-friendly traveling medicine show from his self-contained, solar powered thespian’s gypsy wagon, “The World’s First Solar Powered Theatre.” The show is a unique family-friendly entertainment experience based upon the traditional traveling medicine shows from the turnof-the-century, 1870-1930, a major renaissance period in the theater and arts in America. Each year Dr. Solar adds more crowd pleasing features such as his interactive fun house mirrors, solar powered tricycle and “mind-reading” goose for continuous fun between shows. “My goal is to bring joy and laughter to as many people as I can in my lifetime,” says Dr. Solar about his life work. The good doctor can be found roving the grounds in between twice daily shows on the Playhouse Stage. Check the schedule for times and the map to find his stage on Apple Blossom Lane.

Roots of Homebrewing
A history of brewing the beer you drink Ancient history
Archeological evidence has led many scientists to the conclusion that beer started civilization. Not surprisingly beermakers tend to believe this is true. According to the Archeologists who studied the part beer might have played, one of the major reasons hunter/gatherers settled down and started farming was to ensure a stable supply of grain to make beer. Historically, beer was brewed by the housewife as one of the household tasks. Men did not start brewing until it moved out of the home and into factories. Beer was healthier to drink than water at that time because the water used to produce it was boiled during the brewing process. Every town had its own style of beer and local styles varied significantly. The flavor of the beer depended, first of all, on the recipe used. But there were also interactions that the brewers of the time did not understand. The mineral content of the local water used would change the flavor of the beer. For this reason styles like Pilsner could only be made in areas that had similar water to Plzen, Czechoslovakia. Milwaukie, Wisconsin is one of the places that has similar water chemistry and is why so many big breweries located there. But a more important factor for brewing is the yeast. Until the action of yeast was discovered in the mid 1800’s, every brewer needed to leave the wort, the soup made from the water, barley, and hops, out overnight before the fermentation process would start. They had no control over what yeast would inoculate their beer. Some yeasts made beer that tasted or smelled like old boots. (See how cleverly we tied into this year’s theme) But other yeasts made very delicious beer. And usually since brewing was done in the same place each time, the same yeasts would inoculate later batches.
40
Santa Cruz County Fair Guide
www.santacruzcountyfair.com
A successful brewer could continue to brew with the same yeast without, apparently, adding any to the wort.
Beer out of the home
With the Industrial Revolution of the late 1700’s almost all brewing moved from the home to factories. But breweries were still small local industries that continued to use local water and ingredients. The science of brewing took a great leap forward in 1857 when Louis Pasteur proved that fermentation was caused by living yeasts, not a chemical catalyst. Another discovery homebrewers can thank Louis Pasteur for is that he identified the connection between sanitation and good beer: microbes. Once pure brewing yeast became available in 1883, brewing was no longer a hit or miss proposition. With good ingredients and good technique, you can create great beer every time.
Prohibition
In 1910 (before Prohibition) there were 1568 breweries in the US. They continued to produce local varieties, but with the invention of refrigeration and long-distance transportation, the Pilsner style became the most popular. Prohibition started in 1919 and killed most of the independent breweries. Only a few were able to stay in business through Prohibition. They manufactured near beer and non-alcohol grain products, including malt syrup for “baking”. The cans of malt syrup had very curious warnings. They instructed the user to: “Be sure not to boil this syrup in water with hops, and then once it cools add yeast to it” To keep people from making illegal beer, the federal government made beer making equipment illegal too. So even though home brewers knew what caused problems with their beer, they could not prevent it.
Prohibition ended in 1933 but due to a clerical error homebrewing was not re-legalized, although home winemaking was. It took until 1979 to correct this mistake. Not long after prohibition ended, WWII started. Because most of the men were overseas, the few breweries concentrated on lighter flavored beers they thought would appeal to women. During the middle of the 20th century most of the local breweries either failed or were bought up by larger breweries. By 1984, 44 brewing companies operated the 83 breweries left in the US. The top 6: Anheuser Busch, Miller, G. Heileman, Stroh, Coors, and Pabst controlled 92% of US production. They all made the same Pilsner style beer. If you wanted something different, you either had to buy imported beer or illegally make it yourself.
Legal Again
Homebrewers started to organize to make their hobby legal, and in February 1979, home brewing of beer became legal again. People began to envision a new role for homebrew. Instead of being a cheap do-it-yourself alternative to well-made commercial beers, it could be a well-made do-it-yourself alternative to cheap commercial beers. Once homebrewing became legal, there was a surge of communication between commercial brewers and the homebrewing community. While commercial breweries were wary of risks, homebrewers embraced them. Starting in the 1980s, many homebrewers went on to become professional brewers, opening up brewpubs and microbreweries. They tend to concentrate on the taste of the beer, not on making it as inexpensively as possible. Both Homebrewers and Micro Brewers learned from each other and both made good beer even more popular. Now there are over 2000 breweries in the US. So if you cannot find exactly the beer you want at the store, with the science and technology available, today’s homebrewer can make beer that is as good as, if not better than, anything available from a commercial brewery. Homebrewing is not difficult. It is a cooking art, but if you can follow recipes, you
can make good beer. There are lots of resources out there to help you learn to brew. As part of the Homebrew competition at the fair this year, the beer that embodies the theme of “Cowboy Boots and Country Roots” will be honored with a special prize. Stop by the Homebrew booth in the Harvest building and see all the great beers entered in the fair.

50 Years Caring for the Fair John Kegebein was born and raised on a dairy farm in Crystal Lake, Illinois. When he was discharged from the Army at Fort Ord it was winter and there was no snow here so he decided to stay in California. He moved to Watsonville and began working at the Marinovich Cold Storage Plant. In 1963 he was employed in maintenance by the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. During his 20 years caring for the Fairgrounds, Kegebein was considered “a really good guy” so much so that he was named the first “Good Guy of the Month” by a local publication. “Indispensable” was the word quoted in the Good Guy article by people who came in contact with him during the Fair or at events on the Fairgrounds during other

times of the year. “He is maintenance man, construction expert, electrician, plumber, painter and practical master of a dozen other crafts with which he keeps everything at the Fairgrounds running smoothly and the people happy.” “Helpful beyond the call of duty” and other complementary phrases were used to describe the energy and passion he always gave as Senior Maintenance Man at the Fairgrounds. In 1993 he left his position as Senior Maintenance Man to begin a 10-year business manufacturing redwood planters for local businesses and individuals. While making planters, Kegebein continued to be active at the Fair, helping with the Junior Fair Board and 4-H activities
and he served three terms as a member of the Board of Directors of the Santa Cruz County Fair. In 1991 he was chosen Manager of the Fair, and with his good guy attitude and leadership abilities, successfully updated and improved the Fair until his retirement in 1998. Upon retirement Kegebein did not leave the Fairgrounds because he then turned his focus to the Agricultural History Project, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to preserve the agricultural history of the central coast. He had been elected president of the organization in 1986 and now had the time to take the two acres at the entrance of the Fairgrounds and, with an incredible group of dedicated volunteers, start building the well-respected organization and the four buildings, totaling 20,640 square feet, that houses agricultural artifacts, exhibits and items used as teaching tools for school groups and the general public. Kegebein will readily tell anyone that he really enjoys restoring antique equipment, and the site houses more than 40 restored
tractors, several wagons and buggies, a caboose and various other antique implements previously used in local agriculture. In 2000 he was appointed Volunteer CEO of the Agricultural History Project. But his first love wasn’t quite ready to let him go. In 2008 the Fair hit some difficult financial times and the always willing John Kegebein stepped in and volunteered as Manager for a couple of years. During his volunteer term, he not only managed the Fairgrounds, but assisted in housing hundreds of people, animals, firemen, and their equipment, during the rash of Santa Cruz County fires in 2009. Today, 50 years later, he is a significant participant of the volunteer Management Team created by his son Dave to manage the Fairgrounds. And no surprise to anyone, he is still the Go-To-Good- Guy.
The Santa Cruz County Fair Heritage Foundation recognizes
J o h n K e ge b e i n for his 50 Years of service
in preserving our county’s most precious community asset, the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds.
Thank You

Since 1963, John Kegebein has devoted his life to the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. From maintenance man to the Fair’s Board of Directors, he then became the CEO working to stabilize the fairgrounds operations. Year-round popularity of the State’s most picturesque Fair Grounds, the addition of the historic Rodgers House which graces its entrance and the success of the Agricultural History Project are all the result of John’s devotion to the fairgrounds. The 2013 Fair Board Of Directors say “Thank you, John” for the 50 years you have given to the community and to the Santa Cruz County Fair Grounds.
