Nevada County Fairgrounds Foundation Makes Donation to Fairgrounds

 

Ed Scofield, President of the Nevada County Fairgrounds Foundation, presents a $30,000 check to Fairgrounds CEO Sandy Woods. With the elimination of state funding to the Fairgrounds, the Foundation plays an increasingly critical role in supporting the Fairgrounds, especially with infrastructure projects.

Foundation makes donation to Fairgrounds to help repair damages caused during recent storms

Thanks to a successful fundraising year, the Nevada County Fairgrounds Foundation recently made a donation of $30,000 to the Nevada County Fairgrounds to help pay for underground electrical repairs and two transformer replacements, which became necessary after the recent snow and rain storms. In addition to the transformers, the repairs will include new electrical wiring for providing primary power to a majority of the buildings on the Fairgrounds, including the RV Park, Tall Pines Nursery and the Main Street Building – all of which are used year-round by the Fairgrounds and the community.

“We are so thankful to our Foundation for providing the funds to complete this unanticipated, but necessary, repair to the Fairgrounds infrastructure,” said Sandy Woods, CEO of the Nevada County Fairgrounds. “While these types of unforeseen repairs can be costly, they serve to improve our Fairgrounds and prepare the grounds for continued community use. With the elimination of state funding, the Foundation plays an increasingly critical role in supporting the Fairgrounds and ensuring the Fairgrounds’ continued success.”

The Nevada County Fairgrounds Foundation was established in 2005 to fulfill its mission of supporting and improving the community’s Fairgrounds. In addition to the recent donation to the Fairgrounds for capital improvements, the Foundation helped fund the building of the Whitney Pavilion that is used by the livestock community during the Fair, and also purchased additional property adjacent to the Fairgrounds on McCourtney Road.

For more information about the Fairgrounds Foundation, or to become a Foundation member, contact the Fairgrounds office at 273-6217 or visit the Foundation’s website at http://NevadaCountyFair.com/Foundation.

Nevada County Fair Partners with Summer Youth Employment Program

The Nevada County Fairgrounds has partnered with One-Stop Business and Career Center’s Summer Youth Program to provide jobs and training to Nevada County youth.

The program provides young adults with employment skills in a planned, structured learning environment. It is designed to provide specific behavioral skills appropriate for the workplace, as well as to promote the development of good work habits and basic work skills. Each applicant must go through a job interview process before being placed in the program.

At the Fairgrounds, the young adults have been busy doing winter clean-up of the Fairgrounds, building benches, preparing various areas for this year’s Fair, installing bicycle stalls, landscaping, and painting. Their current project involves designing and landscaping a garden memorial, from its inception to its completion, near Gate 4.

“I believe in empowering our youth,” said Clif Mackinley, work program supervisor at the Fairgrounds, “and this program does just that. It empowers them, teaches them life and employment skills, and teaches them about taking responsibility on the job.”

The program, which is funded through federal dollars received from the Private Industry Council, provides participants the opportunity to work 40 hours per week at the Fairgrounds until the end of September.

“The work these young adults do is so beneficial to our Fairgrounds and our community,” said Robin Hauck, Deputy Manager at the Fairgrounds. “They are hard workers, with a strong work ethic, and their work is already evident to Fairgrounds’ visitors. It is a delight to have them working at the Fairgrounds.”
