“Hay Bales, Piggy Tails & Ewe” comes to life (in the most darling way!!) in the official artwork for the 2025 Santa Cruz County Fair.
Artist Susan McBeth created the precious poster (at right). It features farm animals dancing among hay bales — to the tune of a young, female fiddler!
Fairgoers will delight in the details … a bushel of apples, basket of strawberries and a knitting hen!
You’ll remember some of McBeth’s charming characters from previous Fairs, including last year’s Space Kid.
This artwork will first be featured on the cover of 2025 Entry Guide.
Speaking of the Entry Guide, it’s now available online.
Locals should not hesitate to enter the Fair! There are so many exciting divisions … Livestock, AgHort, Amateur Wine, Fine Arts, LEGOs, Photography, Poultry, Floriculture, Collections, Home Arts and Youth … just to name a few!
The Entry Guide can be found at santacruzcountyfair.com.
Hard copies of the Entry Guide will be available at libraries and feed stores throughout the county soon.
