What membership gets you
Some of it is practical. Most of it is having a say.
-
A discount on Fair admission
Members pay less for Fair passes. Current member prices are published with each year's Fair information.
-
Discounts at other Association events
Including the Bigfoot Barbeque and the Harvest Festival, plus other discounts through the year.
-
Voting privileges
Members vote for the directors who are elected from the membership. Voting takes place at the Association's annual meeting in January.
-
A voice in where the Fair goes
Membership lets you take part in decisions about the direction of the Fair, and raise ideas you would like to see happen.
-
Eligibility for the board
Four of the nine board seats are elected from the Association membership. You have to be a member to stand for one. How the board works
Board meetings are held at 6:30 pm on the third Thursday of each month unless otherwise posted, and are open to everyone, member or not. Meeting dates and agendas
Why it matters
The Fair runs on local support
California cut state funding for fairs in 2010, and fairs across the state have needed local help to maintain and expand their programs ever since. Trinity County is no exception.
Memberships are a small part of that, but they are the part that also comes with a vote. Twenty five dollars is not what keeps the gates open on its own. Members who show up, speak at meetings, and volunteer are.
