One Cool Hat Contest

Contests at county fairs are a real tradition. Throughout my years of doing interviews I believe they have become more important. The Alameda County Fair, for as big as it is, and as many traditions as it has – has also a lot of contests! We have traditional ones and some that are a little weird. Some of them, are a hat contest, hot dog eating contest, green treasure hunt, teenage battle of the bands,

Gumbo Contest, 3rd Annual

Amateur Rib Cook Off, a $10,000 putting contest reminiscent of miniature golf, the third annual gumbo contest, and lots and lots of others. This is an interview with Courtney Townsend who is responsible as she pointed out for some of them but not all.
