Every year Friends of Harbors, Beaches and Parks gets a booth at the Orange County Fair. Volunteers from non-profits and community groups throughout the County help staff the event each day. This method allows one organization to be in charge of the booth and yet numerous groups benefit from a day or two at the Fair.
With enthusiastic volunteers, FHBP has historically won ribbons for booth decoration. In 2011, FHBP won a blue ribbon!
The OC Fair is open July 13 - August 12. With the following hours of operation:
