The California Mid-State Fair Junior Fairboard consists of young people between 16 and 24 years of age living in San Luis Obispo County who are looking to volunteer their time to a community event. Members assist with the day-to-day operations of the annual Fair, including events such as assisting in livestock and equestrian support, pageant set up, public judging, market research and any other duties/committees as assigned by Fair Staff, management, or Fair Board.
