Covering 22 acres, the Monterey county fairgrounds is the site of the annual county fair, as well as other events large and small which throughout the year. There are two arenas, livestock barns, and several exhibit halls. Probably only a handful of the millions of people who enter the fairgrounds realize they were a WPA project. In the decades since 1941, the bathrooms have been replaced and the horse racetrack has been converted to simulcast, but much remains of the original work.
