A huge THANK YOU to all of the buyers and supporters of the 2026 Santa Cruz County Fair Jr. Livestock Auction!
Behind every animal are countless hours of feeding, training, learning, early mornings, late nights, and dedication. Your support shows these young exhibitors that their hard work matters—and helps them continue pursuing their goals.
To every buyer, supporter, bidder, volunteer, and family who helped make this year’s auction possible: THANK YOU for investing in our youth and keeping agriculture strong in Santa Cruz County! We couldn’t do it without you!

🔥 Sparks were flying at the Santa Cruz County Fair! 🔥

Our Welding Competition was a great addition to this year’s Fair, and we loved seeing the talent and skills of our competitors!

Safe to say… this one is DEFINITELY coming back next year! 🔥👏

A HUGE thank you to TACK Fabrication for sponsoring the competition — and for jumping in at the last minute to work on one of our Demo Derby cars! Now that’s being part of the Fair! 💥🚗🔥

Thank you to everyone who competed, watched, and helped make this event such a success!
