Lassen County Fair

ONLINE TICKETS

2010-04-08T09:45:00.000-07:00

The fair has decided to postpone our efforts to get E-Tickets for this year. The process will require us to have a new system and with the fair quickly approaching, we decided we would rally the troops now for next year.

We are very excited about the transition and let us explain why. Since Susanville is a 24 hour town, tickets will be available to you 24 hours a day! You can simply sit in the privacy of your own home and purchase all your fair tickets ( admission, carnival, concert) with the simple click of your mouse and print them on your very own computer. We will still offer tickets in the office, but I think for many of you this will just be one less stop you'll have to make!

Although many of us fear change, we sometimes have to embrace it to survive. The future generations are wired onto the internet for everything and it is their number one source for information and social networking.

We hope you will leave us some feedback, or let us know your thoughts when you stop by to purchase tickets in the office. Be sure to vote in the upper right hand corner, or leave us a post!

Thank you!

D&L Distributing Presents Jack Ingram

2010-02-03T09:51:00.000-08:00

Jack Ingram will be the Headliner for the Friday Night Show on July 23rd, 2010! You might recognize some of his music:

"Where ever you are."

"Barefoot and Crazy."

"That's a Man."

When Jack Ingram won the 2008 Academy of Country Music award for “Best New Male Vocalist,” thousands of people in the audience had to be smiling to themselves about that whole “new” thing. They knew the thirty-something, steel-eyed veteran accepting that trophy on that stage in Vegas had been rocking roadhouses, theaters and stadiums relentlessly since 1997, that he’d been celebrated by critics and fans of hard-core country music for more than a decade, and that as a Texas-born songwriter and performer, he’d been on the short list of next generation artists who could fill the boots of Lone Star legends like Willie and Waylon and the boys.

He has a new album out called "Big Dreams and High Hopes, " that is sure to be a bit hit at the concert and the radio charts this year!

Tickets can be reserved, by calling the fair office at 251-8900. If you want to see us get tickets online, so you can purchase and print at home, let us know by voting on our home page!

An Amazing Race in an Outdoor Place

2010-02-01T13:43:00.000-08:00

SUSANVILLE- The Lassen County Fair has decided on a new fair theme “An Amazing Race in an Outdoor Place, “submitted by Joyce Hopkins. The theme was chosen after the fair board launched a contest asking the public for a theme that would accentuate the beauty of Lassen County’s Great Outdoors. The theme was also chosen because the fair plans to launch An Amazing Race Competition at this year’s fair.

The Competition will consist of teams of two, and there will be a cash prize of at least $1,000 to the winners. Half of their winnings will be given to a charity of their choice. The candidates will not be allowed any electronic devices, money and will be required to eat only fair food for the duration of the competition. The Amazing Race contestants will have to sleep at the fair and compete in a wide variety of Survivor like and Amazing Race competitions.

The idea was spun off of a Survivor competition held at the Amador county fair in 2009. “We are really hoping that people will come out and watch these people and have a good laugh,” said Fair Manager Jim Wolcott. “It is also a way for us to give back to the local charities, I think that is important,” he said. Lassen County Fair Board member Tim Bruce, is also chairing a committee to screen the contestants, develop an agenda for the contestants, and to try and collect more sponsorship money.

An entry form for the contest can be found at http://www.lassencountyfair.org/ or at the Lassen County Fair Office. Entry Forms are due by 5:00 pm, April 9th at the Lassen County Fair Office. “ Our hope is that this competition will be a fun light-hearted event that everyone will come down to the fair and watch,” said Wolcott.
