Fair CEO Rea Callender says overall attendance was up a few thousand at more than 91,000 people, over 7-thousand exhibits were entered, and the food booths on treat street had an exceptional year.

235  animals were sold at the Junior Livestock Auction, grossing more than $463,000 for the youth of Nevada County, which is about $30,000 over last year. Plus, there were 584 bumps.  That’s when a buyer or other person in the audience offers additional money to the price of the animal as a benefit to the student.
