Quite honestly, I have never been a fan of the county fair when it was moved to the third week in July.  When the annual county fair was established in 1922, it was held in late September. By the 1930s, the date was moved up closer to Labor Day Weekend. After World War II, changes were on the horizon. Neighboring counties worked in a concerted effort on scheduling. Thus, Plumas County would hold their fair the second week in August, the third week would be Lassen and the fourth week would be Modoc. Plumas and Modoc still hold onto their traditional dates. Alas, due to non-agricultural influences, Lassen moved to the third week in July to appease those folks. While I am civic minded and support many events by attending, the annual fair has lost its appeal for me.  And that is my two cents worth.
