The 173rd California State Fair is here, and it’s going to be one to remember. Did you know the first State Fair took place back in 1854? To help get the word out about the days of the California State Fair, we thought we’d share an announcement from the print shop at the Sacramento History Museum as Howard letterpress printed a newspaper headline stating, “THE CA STATE FAIR IS BACK! JULY 17 - AUG. 2, 2026.” This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. #SacHistoryMuseum #CAStateFair #sacramento #museumtok #printing
