Amador County Junior Fair Board

What is a Junior Fair Board?

Junior Fair Board Members are ambassadors of the fair and participate in community service activities such as planning, preparation, and presentation of the Amador County Fair.

They cultivate future community leaders by empowering young community members through active involvement in all aspects of the fair, promoting agricultural awareness, and building valuable leadership skills. 


The Junior Fair Board's purpose is to build strong community members who will become leaders in Amador County and across California fairs. The second purpose is to educate the youth about the ins and outs of our small-town county fair. 


These are the requirements:

  • They are between 18-23 years old as of  January 1st.
  • They are a resident of Amador County 
  • Junior Fair Board members will commit to a two year term

While growing up in Amador County, I raised market hogs for the Amador County Fair Junior Livestock Auction for 10 years. Throughout that time, I participated in various club projects as a member of the Jackson Gold Wheels 4-H Club, Clinton Jr. Grange, and Argonaut FFA. In high school, I began working for Swingle Meat Company, spending 4 years learning the operations of a meat processing company, food safety regulations and quality control standards. While also in high school, I spent 2 summers working for Simmons Landscape Company, where I have now returned full-time, gaining experience in landscape construction, hardscape installation, and operating heavy equipment. I am very excited to be part of the Junior Fair Board, and am looking forward to working together with the rest of this board in service of our community and the Amador County Fair.
