This is the third year the annual County Fair has looked to local youth for graphic inspiration. And the second year Muramoto’s work was judged best. The artwork, which was hand drawn by Muramoto, will be used to create the poster which is often a Fair industry award winner and sought after collectable. This 11th grader’s whimsical scene will also be used by various Fair departments as they design their entertaining and educational displays. To view the winning artwork simply go to the Fair’s website www.santacruzcountyfair.com
The Santa Cruz County Fair celebrates the rich agricultural history of our community and people, and invests heavily in bringing this heritage to our youth. The 2011 Fair will be held September 13-18, 2011 at the Fairgrounds located on Highway 152 just east of Watsonville. This year’s theme is “Dancing with the Steers for 200 Years.”
