The Big Fresno Fair can be big business for vendors and the community. For many vendors, the fair is the last stop of the fair circuit.



Businesses say the Big Fresno Fair is a good one, because the crowds bring in the green. Food vendors can earn anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 or more during the nearly two week fair. Officials say the fair adds more than $66 million to the local economy.
