Who We Are

What We Do

Our History

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit created to preserve all aspects of the Yolo County Fairgrounds and keep Yolo County's agricultural heritage alive.

Donations and fundraising events fund refurbishing and preservation at the fairgrounds, plus programs and events that support 4-H and FFA members.

Founded in 2009 by community members who care about the fair, the Foundation has funded renovations across the grounds and sponsors the FFA Ag Mechanics Auction.
