Since 1945 the Plumas County Fair Parade has been a Main Street fixture in our small town of Quincy, California. For as long as we can remember, the Plumas County Fair Parade was a major part of the annual Plumas County Fair, "The Last Best Little County Fair" in California. Some years ago the state reduced funding to fairs throughout California. In the process, Sierra County could no longer afford to have their annual fair, so we combined our Plumas County Fair with theirs and renamed it the Plumas-Sierra County Fair. We've had some pretty fantastic floats, crazy clowns, prancing ponies and dancing divas throughout the years, and each year we see some of our classic favorites return along with some new entries. Coordinating a big event takes a lot of help from a lot of people and agencies, so a heartfelt thank you goes out to the Plumas County Board of Supervisors, CalTrans, Plumas County Department of Public Works, the California Highway Patrol and the Plumas County Sheriff's Office for all of their assistance, and of course, the 20+/- volunteers who helped put this together, be at the staging area, provide traffic control and perform duties as judges. You are all amazing, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

new this year
The Quincy Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Plumas-Sierra County Fair in an effort to help promote and encourage participation in our Annual Plumas-Sierra County Fair Parade. For the first time ever we are offering a "Parade Grant" to families and organizations throughout Plumas and Sierra Counties. The Parade Grant is intended to help you cover the cost of your materials and supplies up to $150. Preference will be given to float entries; however, other types of entries may be considered. Funding is limited, so it's important to get your application in as soon as possible. The application deadline is August 1, 2019.
In order to qualify, the idea must be fun, showy and coordinate with the theme of the parade, which this year is "Show what you grow, share what you know". Want to participate but low on originality? There are several resources for fantastic parade entry ideas such as the library, Google or Pinterest.
We're sorry, but the Parade Grant is not available to commercial entries.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to give us a call at (530) 394-0541, or email us at info@quincychamber.com.
The Parade Grant application can be downloaded and printed below.
