The Santa Clara County Fair is scheduled for five days (30 July - 3 August) in 2008. Many local square dance clubs will be participating by dancing there on their regular club night. But dancers are welcome to participate on any of the five days -- or all of them! We will be including audience-participation tips for people who aren't yet square dancers -- tell your friends who are going to the Fair to stop by.

The schedule of events has not yet been determined, but will probably be similar to 2007.
