Buyers Coalition

The Santa Clara County Fair is proud to announce that we will be starting a Buyer’s Coalition! The Buyer’s Coalition allows for donations to be collected from local businesses and community members. Those donations will be used to buy livestock from the Santa Clara County Youth Livestock Auction. The meat that is bought at the auction will then be donated to local food banks and soup kitchens. 

In order for your animal to be purchased by the Buyers Coalition and to receive Add-Ons from them exhibitors must:

  • Only open to exhibitors living in Santa Clara County
  • Complete the application process that includes the following
  • Basic Information (Name, Age, Club/Chapter, Years in the program).
  • Short-Essay Questions.
  • A MAILED (not emailed) buyer’s letter to the Buyers Coalition.
  • Filling out the application does not guarantee a bid from the Buyers Coalition.
  • Other Notes
  • “Floor prices” will not be established or marketed before the sale.
  • Only available to youth who go through the auction.
  • Only available for large animals (beef, sheep, swine, goats).
  • Leaders MUST verify other letters had been sent.
  • Money may be used for add-ons.
  • A link to the application found under Guides and Forms.

Fair Poster Contest

Poster Due By May 15, 2024

In celebration of the 80th year of the Santa Clara County Fair, we’re thrilled to announce a unique opportunity for young artists to create a commemorative fair poster. The Santa Clara County Fair has a rich history, dating back to its establishment in 1941.

In this competition, we are looking for young artists to channel their creative talents to illustrate how the Silicon Valley has evolved over the years, transitioning ‘From the Fields’ to the transformation of a tech-based landscape ‘The Future’. Let your artistic vision capture the essence of this journey as we celebrate the 2024 Santa Clara County Fair.

Please note that we only accept hand-drawn illustrations for this competition. Works created with any form of artificial intelligence assistance, whether partial or total, will not be considered. Let your imagination and skill shine through your traditional artistic expression. Good luck!
