One of the most popular exhibits at the California State Fair year in and year out are the County Exhibits – and 2011 is no different. An estimated 750,000 fairgoers are projected to tour the Counties Exhibits Building this year. 

Below you will find a visual look at the top county exhibits to be honored this year. On July 30, the “People’s Choice” award will be presented. To take a look at all 29 county exhibits, visit the CSAC Facebook page. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the county exhibits, there is still time. The State Fair runs through July 31.
