Pre-Fair Contest Deadline Approaching Fast!
More fun Fair news from Jane in our Special Events department! You probably know that there are a lot of great contests every day of the Fair that the young and young at heart can enter, but did you know there are pre-Fair contests too?
What’s even COOLER is that anyone who enters at least one contest gets one FREE single-day General Admission pass. That’s right – a free day at the Fair just for entering one of our awesome pre-Fair contests! The deadline is June 30th, so you better get crackin’!
Fair Fun Books filled with pre-Fair contests have been distributed to local schools and you can also find them in our offices (1350 Bennett Valley Rd) and at your local libraries. You can even download contest entry forms from our website here.
So what are the contests?

Fun packs available in Marin? Where do we get the poster to be able to color it?!
I’m afraid the Fun Books were only distributed in Sonoma County but we will have some at our booth at the Sonoma-Marin Fair, June 22-26. You can also download the coloring contest and all the other entry forms here on our website: http://www.sonomacountyfair.com/fair/contests-games.php
