Lodi Agricultural Fair Makes A Difference

Lori Ripp has been the secretary of the Lodi Agricultural Fair since 2013. She highlights popular events this week in the grandstand: rodeo, tractor/truck pull, and demolition derby. After the fairgrounds built new barns about 10 years ago, they have continued to see an increase in exhibitors and are using additional tents. New this year, they have a goat playground that was brought to life by the Lodi Agricultural Fair intern. One of the main things that Lori wanted to emphasize is community impact and involvement, including a collaboration with the Lodi Fire Department to give out and promote Roth ID tags -- identification tags that people can put on car seats of young children to help identify children if they end up in a car accident and are separated from the driver in case of emergency in the accident. Thanks to sponsors, they were able to hand out 500 Roth ID tags at the fair.
