Ongoing drought led the Fresno Fair deputy manager to change the rules and permit 4-H and FFA students to fully wash their animals just once during the show session to conserve water.
Landscaped areas on the fairgrounds have fewer flowers, more drought-tolerant plants and multiple drip systems for collecting and recycling water.
