sponsor of the Fair’s themed tribute,
will be offering free samples of almonds
each day of the Fair.
New to the

replica exhibit. The dinosaur exhibit is
sponsored by Sky Trek Aviation and is
making its California debut at the

family and community oriented experience
promoting agriculture, education,
entertainment and technology.
