The San Benito County Fair’s attendance was down this year from 2010, according to the fair manager.
There were 17,456 who walked through the gates, while there were 18,199 last year, said Kelley Ferreira, fair manager. That amounted to about a 4 percent decrease in attendance.
With this year’s special promotion being a “Family Fair Pack” – $15 for four people to get in – the pre-sale ticket sales were actually up by 40 percent, he said.
“Everybody, I think, was looking for a bargain,” he said.
