This week, hosts Karissa and Virginie sit down with Lisa Wittke Schaffner and Sharon Wright, board members at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds and Exposition. 

Tune in as Lisa and Sharon share their journeys in public service, from Lisa’s experience as the first woman to serve as mayor of Santa Rosa to their shared passion for strengthening community connections through organizations like the Sonoma County Fairgrounds and Exposition. They discuss the future of the fairgrounds, the importance of keeping community gathering spaces accessible and affordable, and how events can bring people together year-round. 

The conversation also highlights this year’s Sonoma County Fair theme, “Festivals, Fiesta & Fun,” and what’s in store for this year’s fair happening August 7 - 16
