Salinas Valley Fair in King City to Unveil Newly Renovated Expo Building Honoring Nate Holaday’s Legacy on May 11

KING CITY, CA – The Salinas Valley Fair is excited to announce the completion of the extensive renovation of the Expo

Building, marking a new chapter in its storied history. The 12,000 square foot, multipurpose facility underwent upgrades

in 2022 and 2023, transforming it into a venue for a wide array of community events.

The renovation project focused on enhancing the functionality and accessibility of the Expo Building. Notable

improvements include the installation of new ADA accessible bathrooms, a modern catering kitchen, upgraded flooring,

and basketball hoops, among other enhancements. These updates ensure that the Expo Building meets the highest

standards of comfort and convenience for all visitors.

As a year-round venue, this Salinas Valley Fairgrounds building plays a crucial role in hosting private events, fundraisers,

and sporting events, such as youth basketball and volleyball games. The multi-purpose design allows for seamless

transitions between various activities, providing a flexible space that caters to the needs of the Salinas Valley

community.

The successful completion of renovating the Expo Building was made possible through the SB5 grant and the generous

financial contributions from the Salinas Valley Fair Heritage Foundation. Their dedication to preserving and improving

the fairgrounds’ community spaces has been instrumental in turning the vision of the Expo Building into a reality.

To celebrate this momentous achievement and pay tribute to the late Nate Holaday, who made extensive contributions

to the Salinas Valley Fair, the Fair Board will be hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony and dedication Saturday, May 11 at

11:00am at the Salinas Valley Fairgrounds. The ceremony will unveil the newly installed sign stating, “Salinas Valley Fair

Expo Building in Memory of Nate Holaday.”

Nate Holaday’s impact on the Salinas Valley Fair and the local community is immeasurable. As a dedicated Salinas Valley

Fair Board Director, member of the Salinas Valley Fair Heritage Foundation, and Director of the Junior Livestock Auction

for many years, Nate poured his heart into supporting local 4H and FFA kids. His selflessness and unwavering passion

continue to inspire and uplift our community.

We invite the community to join us in commemorating Nate Holaday and celebrating the completion of the Expo

Building renovation.
