Last night was a great night for the Save the Fair effort!! The Costa Mesa City Council voted 5-0 to direct staff to begin putting a ballot initiative together to lock in the fairgrounds zoning.
This is the first step towards taking back local control over our County Fair, and I want to thank everyone for their help and support. With the citizens of Orange County and particularly Costa Mesa, united together, this can be a great way for all of us to make sure the OC Fair stays as it is for a long time to come.
We have a long road ahead of us, but we are headed in the right direction, and I want to sincerely thank all of you, as well as the Costa Mesa City Council for their support of the fairgrounds.
Please become a Facebook fan of Save the Fair if you haven’t already, or urge your friends to do the same.
Respectfully,
Jim Righeimer

The OC Fair is a COUNTY fair, not a state fair. Let us keep it that way! It is a local institution. DON’T LET SOME GREEDY POLITICIANS RUIN OUR AREA! We’ve worked hard (and paid for) this. KEEP THE FAIR ALIVE!
