Stop the inflammatory comments at county fair board meetings; let’s ‘right the fairgrounds ship’
Misinformation is causing “the recent, inflammatory public behavior at the fair board meetings,” says longtime Santa Cruz County Fair volunteer Becky Steinbruner, who has attended meetings regularly since 2020.
