KING CITY – Spring is here and it’s time for some fun! That’s what is in store at the Salinas Valley Fair’s annual kickoff dinner dance Saturday, April 20 in the Orradre building. “Our Fair theme this year is ‘Golden Hills & Fair Time Thrills’ and we are going to launch into fair time fun with our annual fair kickoff dinner, dance and auction,” said Frank Lopez, Salinas Valley Fair Board President. “Enjoy a great meal, dance the night away and shop our amazing silent auction items.”


The kick off party begins at 5:30 p.m. with a no-host bar by the King City Knights of Columbus followed by a King City Young Farmer’s steak dinner at 7:00 pm. The silent auction is from 5:30-7:30 p.m. and the live auction from 8:00 pm-9:00 pm. Then it will be time to dance, dance and dance some more to The Harper Canyon Band.


A big part of the fundraising effort for the evening is the live and silent auctions. “We have an awesome list of silent and live auction items,” said Frank Lopez, Salinas Valley Fair board member and auction chairman, “and this year is no exception.” With just about 30 live auction items and at least 150 for the silent auction there is a wide variety to entice just about everyone from trips, dinners, sporting event tickets and so much more!

On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation.

Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass.   CDFW, WRA and EHB are working together to try t...
