The real damage from this lawsuit is to the financial health of the Fairgrounds. “Over the past several years it looks like we spent over $100,000 dollars defending the Fairgrounds against legal challenges to our operations” said Dave Kegebein, Fairgrounds Manager. Kegebein added “We are extremely pleased with this court ruling. The Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds has served the community on this property for over 70 years and will proudly continue to be a very important community asset for many years to come.”
The Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds hosts a large number of community events highlighted by the annual County Fair. The Fair celebrates the rich agricultural history of our community and people, and invests heavily in bringing this heritage to our youth. The 2014 Fair will be held September 9 - 14 at the Fairgrounds located on Highway 152 just east of Watsonville. Information on the Fair, and the Fairgrounds - a year round entertainment and event venue, can be found at www.santacruzcountyfair.com
