Cradled between the high desert Modoc National Forest and the Hayes Mountain Range lies beautiful Surprise Valley, with historic Cedarville as its centerpiece. As part of your exploration of this pristine northeastern corner of California, the Modoc County Fair at the District Fairgrounds is a sure to please experience for even the most jaded of travelers.

From the contribution and cuisine of Basque sheepherders who've roved the county's lush range for over a century, to a replica historic western town called "Louieville, " the four-day affair offers jam-packed days as well as nights of tastes and experiences celebrating the ranching traditions and small town fun unique to the American West.
Plan now to spend some time enjoying Modoc County's temperate August days at the District Fair in Cedarville- laugh with the clowns, chow down with some Basque bread and BBQ, feel the county-wide, American pride at the opening parade, clap with abandon at the achievements of the junior and kids' rodeo participants, gain a new appreciation for the arduous work and skill involved in ranching and animal care, throw vanity to the wind and chase a greased pig, and, don't even consider missing your chance to see, up close, the Demolition Derby from the grandstands. Your yearning for wonder and adventure calls - answer it!
