There is nothing like a State Fair, and David Perry & Associates, Inc. is delighted to represent a classic, yet cutting edge example: The San Mateo County Fair (www.sanmateocountyfair.com)

What a difference nine decades make. What first blossomed in 1926 as the “Little Flower Show” has matured into one of the most innovative, popular and wildly-anticipated family-friendly and oh-so-fun events on the West Coast. Over nine days of diverse entertainment, June 11 – 19, tradition meets innovation in a uniquely California experience that matches the enthusiastic diversity of the region.

The 2016 Fair offers an expanded focus on offerings that entertain and educate through its commitment to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math).

Emphasizing its culinary and mixology offerings this year, Liam Mayclem, internationally recognized “Foodie Chap” of KCBS Radio fame, will kickoff the Fair’s opening day. Mayclem joins an exciting and still-expanding lineup including musical main stage performers for which the Fair has become rightly famous: Night Ranger (June 11); Lone Star (June 12); The Boys of Summer – Eagles Tribute Band (June 13); Kansas (June 14); Tower of Power (June 15 & 16); The Spinners (June 17); The Peninsula Symphony (June 18); and, of course, the traditional closing-out-of-the Fair Latin Music focused Día De La Feria (June 19).
