Totally Local VC to host the VC Craft Beer Garden at 2023 Ventura County Fair

Totally Local VC is proud to announce that we will be the official hosts for the Craft Beer & Wine Garden at this year’s 2023 Ventura County Fair.

We are excited to be working with the VC Fair staff and our local breweries to help design and develop the Totally Local VC Beer & Wine Garden.  This is a great opportunity to promote local at the fair and to highlight the incredible breweries throughout our county as well as the  farmers who make beer happen!

Each year the fair sees an average of 300,000 visitors in the two-week period of the fair. This provides an incredible opportunity to showcase Ventura County’s Craft Brew industry as well as provide a nod to the farmers who grow the ingredients needed to make beer and other drinkable products.

Brewers from throughout Ventura County have graciously donated funds to the scholarship program.  Funds raised throughout the year and early 2024 will be used to create a scholarship fund for students who are pursuing an education and career in agriculture, culinary arts and or food science.  Totally Local VC’s goal is to raise enough funds to offer at least one scholarship for both agricultural education and one for culinary arts/food science.

Scholarships recipients will be decided by our Ag Ed Committee and awarded March 2024.
