   ACR 74, Bigelow. California Fairground Appreciation Month
   This measure would designate June 2015 as California Fairground
Appreciation Month and commend the directors, volunteers, staff,

   WHEREAS, California's 76 fairgrounds represent an important public
asset, providing public recreation, education, and community unity
to over twenty million Californians every year; and
   WHEREAS, California's fairgrounds provide vital emergency services
as fire camps, disaster relief centers, training and staging areas;
and
   WHEREAS, California's fairgrounds serve as year-round centers for
economic activities generating millions of dollars in tax and
employment income for the state and local governments; and
   WHEREAS, California's fairgrounds provide a unique and
unparalleled platform for nonprofit events and charitable efforts
which in turn provide a wide variety of important social services,
including food drives, blood drives, pet adoptions, scholarships, and
educational activities; and
   WHEREAS, California's fairgrounds promote both the Golden State's
proud agricultural history and the education of future generations
about the connection between food and farming; and
   WHEREAS, California's fairgrounds are gathering places for the
state's diverse ethnic populations, veterans groups, and other
organizations; and
   WHEREAS, California's fairgrounds promote water conservation and
the importance of water to California farms and cities; and
   WHEREAS, California's fairgrounds are supported by thousands of
volunteers from the boardroom to the parking lot and livestock barns;
and
   WHEREAS, The 76 fairgrounds within California deserve great
respect and admiration for their services to California; now,
therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the month
of June 2015 as California Fairground Appreciation Month in
appreciation for the services given to California by the 76
fairgrounds in the state; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Legislature commends the thousands of
directors, volunteers, staff, local agencies, and nonprofits, as well
as the millions of Californians who support and attend fairground
events year round; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
