Nevada County Pro Rodeo Association and the Nevada County Fair
Thanks to the Nevada County Pro Rodeo Association, a Rodeo and Professional Bull Riding will be held Thursday and Friday night of the Fair.
Thursday’s event features cowboys, cowgirls, Mutton Busters, and the finest bucking stock around. On Friday night, its Donny Martin Memorial Bull Riding, where riders attempt to stay on a bull for at least eight seconds while the animal tries to buck off the rider.
The Nevada County Pro Rodeo Association was created this year and is comprised of individuals who believe in the Nevada County Fair’s deep agricultural heritage and community roots. With a portion of the proceeds from these events being invested into future rodeos at the Fair, the group strives to ensure that the rodeo remains a part of the Fair for generations.
Proceeds will also go towards the Donny Martin Scholarship fund, in memory of Donny Martin, a local bull fighter who was killed four years ago at the California State High School Finals. This scholarship recognizes men and women who are active in high school rodeo in California and Nevada.
Advance sale tickets (purchased before August 7) are on sale now and are $10 for adults and $6 for children under 12. Regular prices are $12 for adults and $8 for kids under 12.

�� Nevada County Fair Guide August 2012
By WeNdy Oaks, Nevada COuNty FairGrOuNds
ever wonder how much ice is used during the five-day Fair? How many ice cream cones are served at the Watt Park Fire Department’s ice cream booth? Or how the Fair maintains its beauty during the Fair? Read on for some unknown facts about the Nevada County Fair.
• how much ice does the Fair need to be cool? Try 40 tons. That’s how much ice is brought in to supply Treat street and other locations.
• The Watt Park Fire department’s ice cream booth on Treat street serves 17,000 cones during the Fair! Addition-ally, they go through 1,000 gallons of ice cream mix, 24 large cans of hershey’s chocolate, and 24 gallons of fresh strawberries. it takes 120 people to fill all the shifts for the five days with seven working at a time.
• Two full-time gardeners start at midnight, when the Fair closes, and work until eight the next morning, watering the flowers and cleaning up the gardens every night of the Fair.
• A crew of six work maintenance all night, every night of the fair, cleaning the grounds.
• Grass Valley host lions Club serves approximately 16,000 ears of corn during the five-day Fair.
• Marigolds on The Gold Path, the Fair’s main entryway, are planted by nevada union’s FFA students in early June specifically to produce the beautiful walkway for Fair week.
• The Job’s daughter Corn dog booth opened at the nevada County Fair in 1982, making this its 30th year at the Fair. did you know they serve between 15,000 – 19,000 corn dogs per Fair?
• high-powered portable radios — 110 of them — keep staffers in contact across the grounds during the Fair.
• What do pigs and sheep sleep on during their stay at the Fair? They bed down on 240 cubic yards of fresh wood shavings.
• After the gates close for the last time, 28 16-yard dump trucks of manure are hauled away by nevada County Farm bureau volunteers. it’s distributed to local farmers and ranchers who compost and recycle the pungent remains.
• The nevada County Fair generated approximately $20,813,000 in spending activity alone in 2009 – benefiting the local economy and creating a ripple effect of economic benefit for the state.
• The equivalent of 200 jobs are created as a result of spend-ing by the nevada County Fair, it supports businesses and its attendees.
