Synopsis

This episode is a bit fun, as we recorded it this summer during the San Diego County Fair, well before we knew that WZ Productions, LLC was going to be our 2018 Barham Award winner. William Zakrajshek is the founder of Out at the Fair, a family-friendly, all-day festival celebrating the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual community (LGBTQ+). The event originated at the San Diego County Fair and has now grown to include events at the California State Fair and the New Mexico State Fair. Joining Will in this interview is San Diego County Fair’s Multicultural Marketing Specialist, Luis Valdivia. Luis shared with us how he came across Will’s original ‘Unofficial Gay Day at the Fair’ through Facebook and what the event has meant for the San Diego County Fair as well as the San Diego LGBTQ+ community. Finally, Will and Luis will share how you can connect with resources in your community to ensure everyone feels welcome, safe, and included while enjoying your fairgrounds.
