Gary Hayakawa appointed to fair board

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced Monday the reappointment of

Gary Hayakawa to the Orange County Fair & Exposition Center Board of

Directors. Hayakawa, an Irvine resident, served two previous terms

from 1992 to 2001.

He will succeed Patricia Velasquez, who was appointed in 2001. The

fair board is made up of nine volunteers who set and approve policies

for the fair and center.

Hayakawa is president of Three Star Nursery, Inc., a wholesale

nursery in Fountain Valley. The horticulturist is also president of

the Centennial Farm Foundation, an organization that works with

community volunteers, as well as the management and staff members of

the fair, to operate the farm.

He is also president of Friends of UC Extension, a nonprofit group

that helps foster cooperative extensions in Orange County, including

4-H programs for agriculture and horticulture.
