It took our set-up crew over eight weeks to set up The Courtyard at the 2026 OC Fair. We have dedicated volunteers that provide one of the best venues. We all hope that you enjoy how we transformed The Courtyard for our 50th anniversary.
We repainted the refrigerator, decorated, served fantastic lunches for seven days, towed trailers across the ground four times and hung new signs. We helped earn around $40,000 in OCWS scholarships. It took 29 volunteers over 600 volunteer hours. And the live plants displayed in The Courtyard generated $350 in cash donations to Centennial Farm. It is an adventure awaiting to experience the fair set up around us every day.
Thank you for signing the sign! Through the back and forth, up and down and all around the crew came through!
