Fall is in full swing as the 94th Annual Caruthers District Fair kicks off fair season in the Central Valley,  Sept. 27- 30.

The Caruthers District Fair is the largest free-gate fair in all of California. This family event highlights California’s agriculture, junior livestock, motorcycle racing, carnival games, live music, and delicious food prepared by local non-profits. 

FCS Alumna, Tori Tarlton,’23 , 2022 Caruthers Fair Queen, passes on her crown to this year’s winner, Darah Hoff.

“It was such a blessing being the Caruthers Fair Queen this year, I love my community so much and I am so happy that I was able to raise money and support the fair that I love so much!” Tarlton said,”I was excited to pass down the crown because it is tradition. Every year there is a new queen that worked so hard to deserve that crown and I am just so grateful I was able to be apart of it.”

Queen candidates have been selling raffle tickets all summer hoping to be named Caruthers District Fair Queen, and collectively the candidates raised $137,500 for the community. 

This historic hometown event is known all throughout California. Families come from all around to experience the Caruthers District Fair and take part in this fall festivity.
