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 the Golden State's proud
agricultural history and foster the education of future
generations about the connection between food and farming and
promote the conservation of natural resources, including
water, 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.
