“Siskiyou Nights and Carnival Lights” in need of Award Donors
The Siskiyou Golden Fair is truly a community event and relies on the support of our partners to ensure that our exhibitors, young and young at heart are rewarded for their successes.
2023 is the 164th years since the first fair in Siskiyou County was held in Fort Jones in 1859! The Siskiyou Golden Fair continues this long tradition and continues to rely on community support to give awards each year.
The buckles awarded at the 2023 fair for all junior market animals, showmanship winners and horse show divisions will represent countless hours of work and dedication to an agricultural project and teach life skills that cannot be developed any other way. Ribbons are also handed out in all categories and displayed on the still exhibits. The 10th District Board of Directors and the staff of the Siskiyou Golden Fair have made a commitment to continue this tradition to our exhibitors even with all the challenges we continue to face.
We sincerely appreciate donations of any size, there is no minimum or maximum amount required. If you wish to participate in the 2023 awards program the donation form is on our website, you can call the fair office at 530-842-2767 for assistance or email [email protected].
The theme of the 2023 Siskiyou Golden Fair is Siskiyou Nights and Carnival Lights and plans are underway to guarantee memories that will last a lifetime! See you at the fair – August 9-13, 2023 in Yreka!
