At the 1862 Fair, among exhibits and entertainment advertised as reasons to go to the County Fair were a brass band from Sacramento, a 16-pound lump of solid gold, hand carved rosewood furniture, handmade silverware, fine gold jewelry, Grecian paintings, an 86-pound squash, plus grapes, apples, and whiskey pickles.
In 1863, the Premium Book (also known as the Entry Guide) was printed in the Mountain Democrat.
Just as we have seen in today’s fairs, timing of the Fair precludes some varieties of produce from being at their optimal point of harvest. Some produce comes early in the year, while others are later. With El Dorado County covering elevations from 500’ to 7000’ our growing seasons are widely varied. A new class of Green Fruit and Vegetables in 1892 allowed produce in all stages of production to be entered to showcase the broad variety of consumables grown in the county.
