It's time to celebrate another big year at the Fair. We don't know our bottomline profit yet but revenues were almost $25,000 -- $3,500 more than last year. We netted right around $10,000 including the cost of our new steam table. Not only did our team put in over 500 hours of volunteer service at the booth this year, we had some striking results, including selling over 1800 pulled pork sandwiches, almost 700 shredded chicken sandwiches (our new menu item), and over 1000 soft drinks. Meet Emma Lawless of Nevada Union FFA and her market goat Harley. Nevada City Rotary purchased Harley as our John Taylor Memorial Jr Livestock Scholarship! Congratulations Emma on raising a beautiful goat! Emma is an accomplished competitive swimmer with Olympic aspirations who won multiple gold medals at Western Zone Championships this summer. She will be a Junior at Nevada Union.
These are our future leaders and the various FFA and 4H Clubs in our community provide a pathway for leadership development. These youth are what so much of the Nevada County Fair is about!
