Fair to put people in happy 'mooood'

Today I visited with Chris Workman (pictured) of the Shasta District Fair for a story I'm doing on fair funding issues. Fairs are having to get creative to keep going in light of a lack of funding from the state. The Siskiyou Golden Fair, for instance, plans a consignment auction this weekend.

While we're on the subject, Collin Raye will highlight the Shasta District Fair on June 13-17, which is moving forward in earnest with the theme, "In the MooOOd for Fair". My wife and I saw Raye at the Intermountain Fair a few years back; he puts on a good concert.

Here is the full schedule.
