Response

Your 4-H Club (if applicable):

How many people in your family attend fair?

1 or 2

3 or 4

4 or 5

6 or more

How many people in your family enter exhibit items or livestock in the fair?

Do you or your family attend fair every year?

Yes No

If you answered "NO" to the previous question, would you or your family be able to attend fair if it were held earlier in the summer?

Do you or your family attend the State Fair?

Yes No

Have you or another member of your family ever had an exhibit qualify for the State Fair?

Yes No

If you answered "YES" to the above question, were you able to enter your exhibit?

If you were unable to enter your qualifying exhibit into the State Fair, please select all of the following that apply:

I had to make a choice between State Fair and our Local Fair.
I had children exhibiting items in our Local Fair and could not get to the State Fair.
My qualifying item was perishable and I didn't want to make it again for State Fair.
I didn't want to make the drive to Sacramento.
None of the above.

Do you want our County Fair to be held earlier in the summer?

Yes No

If you answered "YES" to the previous question, please select which month we should hold our Fair:

May
June
July
First Week of August
None of the Above

Please select any of the following that complete this sentence for you: I would like our Fair held earlier because...

Most schools start the day after the Fair and this is really inconvenient for parents and kids.
Trinity County kids cannot compete at our State Fair because most judging events are held during the same week as our Fair.
Kids raising Fair animals have no summer vacation. They take care of animals all summer and then go straight into school.
Money raised from animal projects cannot be used for back-to-school shopping because checks aren't received until after school starts. This is hard on some families.
Most of the kids attending college can't participate in our Fair because college classes start prior to our Fair.
Kids participating in high school sports programs have conflicts with showing animals and attending practices or games.
None of the above. (Please use the comments box.)
