Woodland Rotary supports the Beer Booth concession at the County Fair.  In 2026 the Fair has expanded operations to two weekends - August 7-16. 

Thanks to the following members who 'served': Gregg Kowes (Chair), Dan Stroski, Bob Nakken, Eric Sharp, Eric Zane, Angela Lynn, Lori McGrath, Craig Perrin, Aniek Pflager, Jim Nolan, Tom Hall, President Nick Roncoroni, Joe Cadelago, Brain Dwyer, Chuck Moore, Yvette Roy, Barbara Sonin, Rob Beggs and David Pinto. 

Questions go to Gregg at kowes@att.net or 530 662-1234.

Financial results should be available soon. 

Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) certification is recommended for all Rotarians working a shift(s) at the fair. Click here for more information.  Clubs have been reimbursing the ~$18  fee if requested to do so. While we are only required to have one RBS certified person present whenever we are open, we strive to have two or more.  The training provides a good perspective of the seriousness involved.dd    

Club representatives are requested to collect email addresses for those that don't show one on the Master Roster. Having those available greatly simplifies coordination during the Fair. Forward the those email addresses to Tom Richardson (530 906 8393) ?as soon as possible.

All Rotarians in the 10 clubs, that have signed up, are invited to a kickoff gathering at 4pm Wednesday the 13th at the beer concession.  We will be going over do's and don'ts for the various positions and you will have a chance to ask questions on anything you are unclear about.  "Product samples" will be available. The booth will open offically at 6:00pm.

Workers are encouraged to arrive for your shift a half hour early and be prepared to stay a half hour past your shift, if necessary.  Lines for parking and getting through to pedestrian gate may be long. If you can't make your assigned slot, please work through your club to find your replacement. The respective clubs have the necessary contact information.  If you are unable to find a substitute, let Tom Richardson know  (530 906 8393).

 Hours:

The beer booth opens at 6:00pm Wednesday, noon on Thursday and Friday, and 11am on Saturday and Sunday.

The beer booth stops selling tickets at 9:30pm Wednesday and at 11pm Thursday through Sunday.

We continue serving 1/2 hour after the ticket booth closes.
