2 2018 Fairplex Annual Report
FROM DR. CIRIACO “CID” PINEDO,
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
This was my first year at the helm of the Board of Directors.
One of the first tasks the Board gave to President & CEO
Miguel Santana was to get Fairplex back on track after a
couple of tumultuous years and to set the organization on a
course for the future.
The more immediate job was met with a successful 96th
anniversary LA County Fair. Our opening weekend saw the
largest attendance in the past seven years. Overall, Fair
attendance increased as did revenues. For the first time, we had
a theme that was incorporated throughout the grounds. It was a
thrill to see guests of all ages enjoy the nostalgic fun of Route 66.
The larger goal is to see that momentum continue. We look
forward to not only seeing the Fair grow as we head toward our
Centennial in 2022, but all of our self-produced events and the
hundreds of events we host each year.
Thank you to Miguel and the Fairplex staff for making 2018 a
successful year. And to our guests – we hope you return again
and again.

Strategic Plan
Where is Fairplex Going?
In June, Fairplex President & CEO Miguel A. Santana released the Fairplex Strategic Plan, a year-long project that included substantial community
input. The Strategic Plan focuses on three main priorities: Fairplex as a presenter of unique experiences, Fairplex as an economic engine and
Fairplex as a community partner and lays the framework for Fairplex’s immediate future, and scope for the next 100 years.
The Plan established a revised vision and mission statement for the organization, and a new set of guiding principles:

Collector’s
Boxes
The LA County Fair reminded guests that good things come
in small packages with the arrival and sale of souvenir
Collector’s Boxes, a new stylish, branded way to sell bundled
season passes to the Fair. Like the souvenir boxes sold at
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the Fair boxes
featured four season passes, parking passes, souvenir
lanyards, a postcard and more. When opened, the
box played the famous Bobby Troup-penned “Route
66,” remixed and sung by Los Angeles indie band
The Delirians. The boxes were a huge success, with
4,323 purchased, so much so that the Fair
will continue offering a
