Who Benefits?

Who benefits from the auction?

“THE KIDS!”

The sole purpose of the Lonnie Tosenfeldt Memorial Junior Livestock Auction is to benefit the youth exhibitors as a reward and a congratulations for all their hard work. 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of each animal goes directly back to the youth to be used to continue their education and to fund future participation in future 4H and FFA projects and events.

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!
