Flocks of smiling kids gathered with the community for the 2018 Santa Clara County Fair Aug. 2-5. Each August, 4-H clubs and Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapters from throughout the county head to the fairgrounds in the culminating event of the year—bringing their projects and livestock to market.
The four-day event, which included a variety of fair food, live entertainment, carnival rides, livestock and exhibits at the county fairgrounds on Tully Road in San Jose, also held its first “Out at the Fair” event Friday, Aug. 3 in solidarity with the LGBT community.
The county fair, in its 74th year, had such a large turnout that by Saturday afternoon on Aug. 4, fair organizers were asking the public to take Uber and Lyft to the fairgrounds “due to high attendance,” according to its website.
