New generation of Hispanic music at the StanCoFair!

Turlock, CA (June 12, 2019) – Ulices Chaidez brings a fresh new face and sound to Turlock this year!

The Stanislaus County Fair welcomes Ulices Chaidez on Sunday, July 14, 2019.  He will be performing on the Coors Light Variety Free Stage at 8:30 p.m. The concert will be hosted by La Favorita and is free with the price of Fair admission.

“Hispanic acts always attract such an energetic crowd to our Fair,” said Adrenna Alkhas, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “We are excited to welcome Ulices and his band this year!”

This trio of new generation Mexican Regional corrido and banda trio is led by the teenage singer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Ulices Chaidez.

The band hails from Navolato Sinaloa, and its name is an homage to one of Chaidez‘s heroes, the late Airel Camacho y Los Plebes del Rancho. Chaidez has been playing music since he was six. Besides guitar, he plays fife, bass, and drums, and is studying accordion and violin. He worked solo with another group of guitarists while he was in high school (Ulices Chaidez y Sus Humildes), playing festivals and talent competitions locally and regionally. A Del Records executive caught one of their YouTube videos and signed the young singer, who was then 15.

His new band, the Plebes, were formed with the same instrumentation as Camacho‘s group. Ulices Chaidez y Sus Plebes issued their first single, “Andamos en el Ruedo,” in August 2016. It went straight to the top spot on several Latin Songs charts, and the band was profiled in Billboard. The song’s video received over 1 million views. Their debut full-length, also titled Andamos en el Ruedo, was issued in October, with the group’s sophomore effort, El Elegido, arriving the following year.

The 2019 Stanislaus County Fair opens Friday, July 12th for a 10-day run. Fair guests can count on an award-winning experience that has been over 108 years in the making. Discounted Fair admission tickets, unlimited ride wristbands, and the Fair season pass are now on sale. Corporate ticket sales are also available to purchase at a highly discounted rate.

Free transit buses to drop off at the Fair’s Arch Gate

Turlock, CA (June 6, 2019) –City of Turlock officials have approved free bus rides on Turlock Transit fixed routes from July 1-31, 2019, to include the run of the Stanislaus County Fair (July 12-21, 2019). Turlock Transit will join the other three transit systems in Stanislaus County (CAT, MAX, and StaRT) to provide free rides on all fixed routes as part of a special, grant-funded promotion.

Local and regional transit buses will drop off patrons at the Roger K. Fall Transit Center located at Hawkeye Avenue and Golden State Boulevard, and another pair of buses will shuttle guests from the Transit Center to the Fair’s Arch Gate on Broadway.

“The Fair is excited and thankful to partner with the Turlock’s Transit system once again,” said Matt Cranford, CEO of the Stanislaus County Fair. “We are also thankful that the transit system was able to approve a drop off at our Arch Gate.”

All Turlock Transit fixed route buses will offer free rides and can be used to travel to the Transit Center to connect to the Fair shuttle buses. Route 2, as highlighted in the map provided, will run an additional bus for increased frequency and pick up patrons from Lot 2 at CSU Stanislaus on Monte Vista Ave. and drop them off at the Transit Center with pickup times every 10 minutes.  The shuttle buses will pick up guests at the Arch Gate every 15 minutes and return to the Transit Center for guests to take a fixed route bus back to their original location.  Shuttle buses will run daily through 11:30 p.m. when the Fair closes, as well as during Fair hours on Sundays, while Turlock Transit fixed route buses will run until 12:00 a.m. to ensure guests catching the last shuttle bus can complete their ride home.

“We’re excited to participate in this joint promotion with all of the transit systems in Stanislaus County to provide free rides to the public on fixed route buses, including enhanced service during the Fair,” said Wayne York, Transit Manager for the City of Turlock. “We encourage residents to take advantage of this service that not only provides free and convenient connectivity directly to the Arch Gate, but reduces traffic congestion and improves air quality at the same time.”

Riding the bus is accessible to all patrons coming to Turlock during Fair, including individuals with wheelchairs or other mobility devices.  The Transit Center will be open for extended hours to provide access to restrooms, drinking fountains, and an air-conditioned lobby. The route schedule can be found online at www.turlocktransit.com.  Fair-specific transportation information can be found at www.turlocktransit.com/fair.  Convenient, sustainable, and powered by natural gas, Turlock Transit makes getting around town easier.

In addition to fixed route buses, Turlock Transit will also be providing ADA paratransit service to eligible passengers through its reservation-based Dial-a-Ride program. This service will operate during the same operating hours as fixed route services.  While Dial-a-Ride services are not part of the free fare promotion, it does provide a curb-to-curb transportation option for individuals with limited mobility.  Residents interested in obtaining eligibility for Dial-a-Ride can contact MOVE Stanislaus at (209) 232-5092.  Reservations for trips can be made between 1-14 days in advance by calling Turlock Transit at (209) 668-5600.

Funds to provide these transportation services are provided through a combination of federal and state transit grants to encourage transit ridership, including funding from the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) to improve air quality.  In addition, a financial partnership between the City of Turlock and the Stanislaus County Fair assisted in funding associated with the new, Fair shuttle bus service.

“We would like patrons riding the free buses to plan accordingly with timing, bringing strollers, and having wheelchairs,” said Adrenna Alkhas, marketing and communication director for the Stanislaus County Fair.  “There is only one connection at the Transit Center where guests have to transfer to the bus coming to the Fair.”

The 2019 Stanislaus County Fair opens Friday, July 12th for a 10-day run. Fair guests can count on an award-winning experience that has been over 108 years in the making. Discounted Fair admission tickets, unlimited ride wristbands, and the Fair season pass are now on sale. Corporate ticket sales are also available to purchase at a highly discounted rate.

INSPIRING FUTURE LEADERS THROUGH THE empowHER LOUNGE AT THE STANISLAUS COUNTY FAIR!

Turlock, CA (June 4, 2019) – The Stanislaus County Fair is the place for young women to be this summer!

The Stanislaus County Fair has once again partnered with Vintage Faire Mall, Yonan’s Jewelers, Posh Photo Booth, Women’s Education and Leadership League (WELL) and KHOP @ 95.1 to bring guests a resourceful lounge that will help cultivate empowerment and confidence in young women. The empowHER Lounge is dedicated to inspiring girls 16 and older to not only empower themselves, but also those around them.

“The empowHER Lounge is a great source for young women in our community to be exposed to various life topics that may seem basic but can, in fact, determine what type of person they will be as future leaders,” said Adrenna Alkhas, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “This lounge will make them aware of the importance of their online image, feeling confident, speaking up when necessary and finding one’s cause, among many other subjects.”

Alkhas created the lounge with the mentality of teaching young women how to support and nurture one another instead of subduing to the female norm of consistently competing and comparing. Setting such a tone will undeniably yield successful leaders of the future. Through informative and interactive workshops, the empowHER Lounge will be able to support this goal. W.E.L.L. Leadership, a woman’s education and leadership league will be providing daily presentations on how one should conduct themselves in different aspects of their daily lives. Guests who sign up for the seminars will also receive a Fair and Vintage Faire Mall Swag bag (maximum of 40 guests per session will be allowed). Guests who sign up and attend an event will also be put into a drawing to win (4) four tickets to Great America from KHOP!

Stanislaus County Fair Honors Our Fallen

Turlock, CA (May 27, 2019) – The Stanislaus County Fair would like to honor our military from today’s War on Terror going back to World War II, including those who have died, while serving the United States of America by adding a Remember the Fallen Exhibit.

“While we love to add new and exciting attractions and exhibits to our Fair each year,” said Adrenna Alkhas, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “We are excited to have such an honorable memorial exhibit to recognize those who have fought for our country.”

A very emotional memorial, “Remembering Our Fallen,” is a stark reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by 750 Fallen from California killed in The War on Terror while wearing our country’s uniform in a war zone. The photo memorial, which includes military and personal photos of each of California’s Fallen, is traveling throughout the state and will be coming to Turlock.

This memorial, and 17 other state memorials representing half of our country’s Fallen since 9/11/01, have been created by Patriotic Productions, a non-profit organization headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska.  The goal is to complete a memorial for every state. More information at: RememberingOurFallen.org or PatrioticProductions.org.
