Pioneer Hall at the Fairgrounds has certainly been a very busy place during the past few weeks! The many weekend functions included a 50th Anniversary celebration, where guests enjoyed dancing to a fantastic nine-piece band from Mexico.
On February 1, more than 400 people from Santa Cruz County and beyond experienced the wonderful Journey Stories exhibition presented in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution.
The following Saturday was highlighted by a wedding reception hosted by a Sierra Vista family.
And finally, on February 15, our community gathered together for a memorial service to celebrate the life and accomplishments of a much loved and respected area resident/rancher: Via con Dios, Rukin Elks.
We, as county residents, are so fortunate to have these fairground facilities in which to host so many different types of activities!
If you’re planning for your next event, call the fairground for information and availability.
