Fair time is coming – Siskiyou Golden Fair August 11-15th

Bumper cars - always fun!

Every year the Siskiyou Golden Fair has a new slogan, but the one I remember from my childhood is “Fair time is fun time”. There is always something new to discover at the Fair, whether this is your first time to the Fair or an annual event. This year’s Siskiyou Golden Fair is August 11th -15th at the fairgrounds in Yreka. There are grandstand events, like the headline concert with Jack Ingram and the CCPRA/NPRA Rodeo, along with the daily entertainment at the Mall Stage. If you’re an animal person, be sure to check out the livestock buildings where 4-H kids will be showing cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, etc. Every day there is a contest that anyone can enter: I’m dreaming up a “car” for the Veggie Derby Races in the Ag-Hort
Building on Thursday where you build a racecar using a vegetable and race it against other “drivers”.

The Siskiyou Golden Fairbook has lots of info about the various events, shows, and displays throughout the Fair. It’s full of info, so look carefully. You’ll learn that if you missed Shasta Taiko in Mt. Shasta, you can catch a show Friday on the Mall Stage. Catch the location for the petting zoo, pony rides, the Barnyard of Fun and cooking demonstrations. There is too much to talk about here, so go to the Fair website to download the Fair Book.
