County fairs across California no longer receive dedicated state operational funding, making community support more important than ever. The Friends of the Stanislaus County Fair Foundation offers memberships for both corporate partners and individual supporters who want to play an active role in enhancing the Fair’s future.

Foundation involvement helps fund meaningful improvements throughout the Fairgrounds; such as upgraded facilities, improved show rings, modern fans for livestock areas, and other essential enhancements that support exhibitors and guests.

Your support strengthens the Stanislaus County Fair and helps ensure that our traditions, educational programs, and community experiences continue to grow for generations to come.
