INTRODUCTION
San Francisco
has no farms left — although the Union Street area above
the Marina area is still called "Cow Hollow". Traditionally,
a County Fair celebrates a County's agriculture, the produce and animals
that support life and economic success. San Francisco - only 7 miles
wide and 7 miles long - has parks and gardens but no fields. Animals
raised by San Franciscans are pets - cats, dogs, canaries and goldfish.
Most San Franciscans work in buildings or vehicles and buy their fruits
and vegetables at a neighborhood store.
But
San Francisco
has the Bay! Art, Immigration & Industry have all come
to the City through the Golden Gate. San Francisco may
have no fields
of corn or cows and chicks, but the City does have
Fisherman's Wharf
and fresh cracked crab and walk-away shrimp cocktails and a skilled
fishing fleet that delivers fresh fish to City markets
and restaurants
every day. And the seals and sea lions that duck under the waves in
the Bay and lounge on Seals Rock and along the piers call
San Francisco's
Embarcadero "home".
The Bay is teeming with
romance, danger and intrigue ... Who's the biggest fish out there?
The noisiest? the scary-est? The most ferocious? Could, would or should
you eat it? Why? Why not? How do you catch it? What's the best way
to cook it? The Bay brought personalities, industry, food and jobs
to the City. And the Bay sustains life in San Francisco. San Francisco's
County Fair 2006, Harvest From the Sea, celebrates Life In and On
San Francisco Bay with a great traditional county fair
— Rides, Games, Contests, Jugglers, Stilt-walkers, Exhibits,
Entertainment, Magic! Join the Celebration!
