Community Hero nominations being accepted for L.A. County Fair

As summer heats up, so will preparations for Upland's day at the L.A. County Fair.

The fair, held from Sept. 3-Oct. 2 at Fairplex in Pomona, is accepting nominations for Community Heroes.

Community Heroes are typically individuals who work tirelessly to make a difference. They are volunteers at local hospitals, schools, churches and more.

They devote their time and efforts, going above and beyond without thought of reward or recognition.

Members of the community can nominate two heroes to represent Upland during its day at the fair on Sept. 8.

They can be an adult, young adult under 18 years old, and a senior.

Selected heroes will be honored throughout the day with a luncheon, parade and onstage presentation.

Community Hero nomination forms need to be filled out and submitted by June 17.

Forms can be mailed, emailed or faxed to:
