          SOURCE:    Western Fairs Association


          DIGEST:  This resolution designates June 2015 as California  
          Fairground Appreciation Month and commends the directors,  
          volunteers, staff, local agencies, and nonprofits, as well as  
          the Californians who support and attend fairground events.  


          ANALYSIS:   This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:


          1)California's 76 fairgrounds represent an important public  
            asset, providing public recreation, education, and community  
            unity to over 20 million Californians every year.


          2)California's fairgrounds provide vital emergency services as  
            fire camps, disaster relief centers, training, and staging  
            areas as well as serving as year-round centers for economic  
            activities generating millions of dollars in tax and  
            employment income for the state and local governments.

          3)California's fairgrounds promote both the Golden State's proud  
            agricultural history and the education of future generations  
            about the connection between food and farming and promote  
            water conservation and the importance of water to California  
            farms and cities.


          4)California's fairgrounds are gathering places for the state's  
            diverse ethnic populations, veterans groups, and other  
            organizations.



          This resolution designates the month of June 2015 as California  
          Fairground Appreciation Month in appreciation for the services  
          given to California by the 76 fairgrounds in the state; and  
          commends the thousands of directors, volunteers, staff, local  
          agencies, and nonprofits, as well as the millions of
