California fairs attract record attendance and strong support
California fairs show attendance up 5.1 percent from 1971 to 1972 while the state's population grows 1.1 percent. Western Fairs Association notes 9.58 million local fairgoers, two thirds of the national fair totals, and that fairs generate substantial state tax revenue. Interim use programs brought 13.8 million visitors to fairgrounds, with 4,000 orgs using facilities for educational and cultural events. The Little Hoover Commission backs fair importance, while bank surveys emphasize agriculturally oriented exhibits driving turnout in urban areas.
