Watsonville, CA – Rocking with orange pigtails out, the kid’s pop-rock stage show “Twinkle Time” will debut at the 2015 Santa Cruz County Fair. And if there are children in the family, this is a must see show.

Starring Twinkle, sporting her signature bright orange pigtails, the show features her two best friends; Happy, a clumsy and shy bookworm who loves science, and Lil Hoopz, who is blissfully aloof and loves anything sports or competitive. The trio performs wearing wacky colored clothing and puts on a show that will get kids and parents jumping to their feet to dance and sing along.

2015 Santa Cruz County Fair Selects Theme

Watsonville, CA – “Country Nights and Carnival Lights” will be the foundation upon which the 2015 Santa Cruz County Fair is built. From a list of more than a hundred suggestions submitted by the community, ten finalists were selected and during the year’s first fair department head meeting the winning theme was chosen.

The wining theme was submitted by the Azevedo Family of Corralitos and Katie Azevedo, on behalf of the family, said “I grew up at the Santa Cruz County Fair as the youngest of six kids.  My family was involved in 4-H and we always had livestock at the fair. We also took pride in entering baked goods and crafts in home arts.  For me, the fair has always been a time to have fun and see friends.”  Their family involvement now extends to the next generation; “My kids, Haley, AJ and Carly, are now involved in 4-H and we thought it would be fun to add to our family’s fair traditions by brainstorming theme ideas” Azevedo explained.  She added, “We are very excited to have been chosen and hope to see you at the Fair!”
