Glenn County Fair - 2010

May 20-23

Orland

     The Board of Directors of the Glenn County Fair recently voted to change our Fair to a 4-day event beginning in 2010. Dates will be May 20th through 23rd and they are looking forward to a great 2010 Fair. They will continue with the layout of the grounds and the fair’s format similar to the look they have presented in the past few years.
     The Glenn County Fair is growing and each year they strive to provide an atmosphere that will stimulate attendance and participation while keeping with the good old “county fair” magic. They hope you will be a part of their growth and success in 2010. The ’10 theme is “Cowboy Boots and Country Roots.”  They sincerely hope you include the Glenn County Fair in your plans for 2010.
