Fairtime Programs

Banner Program

Businesses, clubs, organizations, families and individuals are offered the opportunity to purchase and advertise on souvenir L.A. County Fair street banners, which are displayed along major streets in Southern California.

Bus Sponsorship Program

With nearly 100,000 students, teachers and chaperones expected to enter the grounds of the L.A. County Fair as part of the FairKids Discovery Club, the bus sponsorship program is definitely a success. But just imagine how many more children would flood through if there were more buses to transport them? Funding more buses is one of the goals set forth this year by the Fairplex Education Foundation.

                 

Community Days

The Fair salutes 18 different communities surrounding Fairplex each Wednesday-Friday of the Fair. Each honored city’s dignitaries, special heroes, local talent and youth are spotlighted at the Fair. Each hero is recognized in a special ceremony and presented with certificates, plaques and awards.

Presented by Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and San Gabriel Valley Tribune.

Help a Child Smile

Through the Tapestry exhibit, the Fair Association collects dolls and toys for children coming out of surgery as part of Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center's Plush Animal project. The collection program, Help a Child Smile, takes place during the annual Fair and allows donors to compete in a category for handmade items.

Opportunity Quilt

During the Fair, guests can purchase tickets to win a quilt at the Tapestry exhibit. Funds raised from the quilt benefit breast cancer awareness programs.

Plush Animal Project

Tapestry has donated close to 600 dolls and toys to the Plush Animal Project at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center.

 

Project Linus

The Fair’s Tapestry department has donated nearly 50 quilts to Project Linus to be donated to hospitalized children. The Fair has participated in the program for six years.

Warm Up America

During the Fair, Tapestry collects knitted or crocheted squares to complete Afghans for homeless people at shelters in the Inland and San Gabriel valleys. To date the L.A. County Fair has donated squares for nearly 1,500 Afghans. The program is called Warm Up America Project: Afghans for the Homeless, and pieces are donated to the Archdiocese Council of Catholic Women of Los Angeles.
