Some of you may remember Harry as he was our contact with the Good-Guys for passes. He now works for the Fair and he and Andrea, his assistant, have been assigned to us for fair passes and coordination of access to the grounds going forward. This is a good thing since Harry likes us. It’s a good fit for us. That being said, effective immediately, do not contact Jenn any more at her phone (925) 426-7812. Remove that number from your saved numbers as she is no longer part of the grounds access process. Instead, if you want to access the grounds on days other than Friday, send an email to both Andrea and copy Harry at respectively <a href="mailto:amanucat@alamedacountyfair.com">amanucat@alamedacountyfair.com</a> and <a href="mailto:hdaviess@alamedacountyfair.com">hdaviess@alamedacountyfair.com</a> so they can notify security that you want to come in. Avoid last minute stuff, so plan a little and give them some advanced warning. Be aware there are private events on the grounds from time to time which are not listed on their web site, so there may be times when you will be denied entrance or have to use the Stable area parking and walk in. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>In regards to access for the Fair event, it will be the same as last year (QR coded entrance and parking). As was done last year, there will be 20 Season Passes which will be issued to those 20 people signed up for the most days. Those passes are for both parking and entrance and can be used once every day of the fair but only once per day. Get your hand stamped if you go out and want to come back in. In addition, as was done last year, there will be parking and entrance QR coded passes for those working fewer days. All types of passes will be distributed via email once sign ups are done. So, on that note, the earlier the better, since I have to do the distribution and it ain’t fun. Please get signed up with your respective trainmaster ASAP. Let me know if you have any questions. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Gary Lewis<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p></div></body></html>
