Ceres Street Faire always a ‘rain or shine’ event Anyone who’s been to the Ceres Street Faire knows that the biggest unknown is weather. Since organizers can’t do a thing about the skies, the Faire is billed as a “rain or shine” event. This year’s event could be warm, however. As of the printing of this guide, weather.com was forecasting sunny to partly sunny skies with temperatures in the 80s for
both Saturday and Sunday. Downtown Ceres hosts the 32nd annual Ceres Street Faire this weekend, May 6-7. The fun starts at 10 a.m. Saturday, including the Saturday morning car show on Fourth Street between Magnolia and North streets. An RV & OffRoad Vehicle Show will take its place
on Sunday. The Faire includes arts & crafts booths, commercial booths, food booths operated by non-profit Ceres groups, local entertainment and fun things for kids to do in the park. An army of service clubs and other groups will be selling food items along Third Street.
The Ceres Lions Club and Ceres Chamber of Commerce members founded the Ceres Street Faire in October 1988. The event was previously offered as the Peach Harvest Festival at Smyrna Park. For information, contact the Chamber at 537-2601.
Ken Lane, Street Faire Committee chairman, welcomes all to attend We are back after our two-year hiatus! I am very pleased to be serving as the 2022 chairman for the 32nd annual Ceres Street Faire. The Ceres Street Faire Committee is a tremendous group of individuals who work year-round in conjunction with the Ceres Lions Club and the Ceres Chamber of Commerce to put together a great event for our community. The Street Faire is successful due to the many individuals who attend, and the support that we have from our city leaders. This year’s Street Faire is sure to be a huge success! Saturday morning starts off with our fabulous car show. The cars are beautiful and their owners work really hard to have them ready for the show. There is so much delicious food to sample that includes linguica sandwiches, tri-tip, French fries,

funnel cakes, kettle corn to name a few. I know my family can’t get enough of the food that is sold on Street Faire weekend. The non-profit community groups really work hard to bring top rate food choices for us. We have so many vendors showing and selling their products that you can travel back and forth several times and still not see all of them. I can hardly wait to stroll down Fourth Street and see what they have this year. As this year’s chairman, I am very proud of our Street Faire and the traditions we have given to our community. The 2022 Street Faire is going to be great. Plan your weekend, bring out Mom and Dad come out and enjoy what Ceres has to offer. We look forward to seeing you!
Ken Lane is the chairman of the 2022 Ceres Street Faire Committee.

Downtown Ceres Street Faire first started in 1988 • Event has evolved from the early-day Ceres Peach Festival
Ceres Lions Club and Ceres Chamber of Commerce members founded the Ceres Street Faire in October 1988. It was an effort to combine an antiques and collectibles show, that then Ceres vice mayor Richard McBride was attempting to put together as a fund raiser for the Ceres Lions Club, with the effort of the Ceres Chamber of Commerce to move the historic Peach Harvest Festival
from Smyrna Park to the streets of downtown Ceres. The main goal was to create a fundraiser for not only the Lions Club and Chamber of Commerce, but to also offer fundraising opportunities to other Ceres nonprofit organizations. Envisioned were food booths, an antique and collectibles show, and entertainment. The special committee of Lions Club and Chamber members
dubbed the celebration the Ceres Street Faire. Others who assisted McBride were Don Goudeau, Allan Graham, Paul Caruso, and Cheryl Winter, who was the Chamber Executive Vice President in 1988. Eldon Frost of Denair created a logo for the event. It consists of a plane carrying a banner reading Ceres Street Faire – Rain or Shine. His logo is still used occasionally
on T-shirts and other forms of advertising. To boost attendance, it was decided no admission fee would be charged. The success of the first Ceres Street Faire exceeded all expectations for everyone involved, and its popularity has continued throughout the years. The success of the first Street Faire can best be summed up with the story of the Lions Club food booth. The Lions’ offered barbecued chicken and beef rib dinners during both days – Saturday and
Sunday. Things were so successful for the Lions Club during that first year that 1,000 barbecue chicken dinners were sold. They ran out of chicken on Saturday, and after purchasing more, nearly ran out on Sunday. In 2022, 34 years later, Faire goers will be treated arts & crafts booths; commercial booths; food vendors by Ceres non-profit groups; two stages of entertainment; custom Car Show (Saturday only); an RV show on Sunday and a children’s activity/play area.

Rides on real ponies are a popular attraction in the shade of Whitmore Park. At the 2016 Ceres Street Faire, Courier editor Jeff Benziger snapped this photo of then three-year-old Lauren Ormonde enjoying a ride in the saddle on a pony. Look for the corral at the southern end of Whitmore Park. There is a charge for riding.
Whitmore Park will be filled with fun things for the children during the 32nd annual Ceres Street Faire this weekend. A petting zoo and B&B Pony Rides for the little ones will be offered at the southern end of the park. A variety of fun activities and games will be available including: • Pony rides for tots at the southern end of Whitmore Park. • A petting zoo. • Mechanical bull riding machine. • A 15-foot-high inflatable bounce house for children. It’s a great way for
parents to let their children get all their wiggles out. • Four carnival rides/attractions sponsored by Teaco Amusements. • A giant slide presented by Teaco Amusements of Patterson. Adults and kids are invited to climb up this giant fiberglas slide with a sack and slide down the 100 feet for smiles and laughs. Then do it again! • A Ferris Wheel brought to Ceres by Teaco Slides. • A Boomers attraction by Teaco.

Lions Club members always seek to serve Ceres Yes, they will be serving up some awesomely delicious tri-tip sandwiches but the members of the Ceres Lions Club year-round serve in their quest to make Ceres a better place to live. Founded in 1947, the Ceres Lions Club represents individuals from every sector of the community, including city and county government, public safety, agriculture, healthcare, business, education, and others from the private sector who want to serve their community. During the lockdowns of 2020 and early 2021, the Ceres Lions Club did manage to serve the community in what Long termed “drive-by feedings” for some folks and hosted a meals-to-go tri-tip dinner. The Ceres Lions Club is governed by a board of directors which manages and facilitates the funding of many worthy groups
and activities in Ceres. Lions Club support goes the Boy Scouts, Sober Grad Night at both Ceres and Central Valley High Schools, several youth recreational sports teams and other community endeavors. The Ceres Lions Club also provides high school scholarships for graduating seniors, have volunteered to cook at numerous community fundraising events – such as last week’s Love Ceres event – and have collected hundreds of pairs of used eyeglasses for those in need in other countries. Lions also provide local children in need with eye exams, glasses and Medic Alert bracelets through a partnership with the Ceres Unified School District. Lions continue to partner with the Ceres Chamber of Commerce, Ceres Street Faire Committee and the City of Ceres to bring the Ceres Street Faire to the com-

OURTH STREET north of North Street will be lined with twoand four-wheeled eye candy this Saturday for the annual Ceres Street Faire Car Show.

At the end of the car show at 3 p.m. the Street Faire Committee will be handing out awards in 10 categories. Anyone may show off their car by turning out from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the sign-up booth at Fourth and Magnolia. Space is limited so early registration is urged.

specialty T-shirt to commemorate the 2019 Car Show, and a dash plaque. Entry forms are also available at the Ceres Chamber of Commerce office at the northeast corner of Fourth and North streets. Any car that is special enough to show off – whether a lifted truck, restored classic Model A, or a cherried out muscle car – is welcome at the show. Classic and modified automobiles – with their colors and designs – have always pulled an audience at the Street Faire. On Sunday will be the RV & Bike Show which will be displayed on Fourth Street from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The show will feature bass fishing boats and off-road vehicles, motorcycles and travel trailers.

Ceres all started with wheat growing B y JEFF B EN Z IG ER Editor of the
I
Ceres (Calif.) Courier
F A MODERN-DAY JOURNALIST could have access to a time machine and set the dial back to 1870, the following report might be filed about Ceres as it existed then: “There is nothing but fields of wildflowers and grasses stretching as far as the eye can see with intermittent splashes of green of oaks, poplars and eucalyptus trees. There is one building going up – a two-story home, along a dirt road which runs within an arm’s throw of the railroad tracks. Every once in a while the builder, a small man with a thick beard, stops pounding his hammer and looks across the land, this 9,000 acres that he owns. As the shrill sound of a steam train whistle comes closer, the man looks as though he is thoughtfully planning out a new town, possibly the beginning of a great home for many.” One hundred and forty-eight years ago, Daniel Whitmore probably only had an inkling of what he was starting at this desolate spot several miles from the swift and untamed Tuolumne River, which was used as a mighty water highway for all of the wheat crops shipped to the Delta. It is doubtful that he would have known that with the construction of his simple Victorian style home – which still stands on Fifth Street – would have led to a city of 48,000 a century and a half later. Good soil, good neighbors and a quiet place to live have been attractive qualities that have made Ceres what it is today. Those same qualities were part of Whitmore’s Ceres when the town was laid out in 1874 for the first time. Daniel C. Whitmore was born in Ohio on May 31, 1816 to Daniel and Martha Whitmore. When he was just a little over 12 months of age, the family packed up their belongings to move to Chautauqua County, N.Y. The family remained there until Daniel was three years old. Next they settled in Conneaut, Ohio where he spent his boyhood. In 1831 Daniel’s parents took him to Barnstable County, Mass. For six years he learned to be a sailor. In 1844 Daniel Whitmore married Lucy Jane Lee, a native of New York, in Hudson, Mich. They bore three sons, Clinton N. Whitmore (he was born Aug. 20, 1845 in Hudson, Mich., and was nine during the trip), Leonard H. Whitmore and Eugene E. Whitmore (he died in Stockton). Like many following the California Gold Rush of 1849, the Whitmore decided to head east after hearing about California’s opportunities and mile climate. Their journey, which would eventually bring them to Ceres,

structed in Ceres in 1874. Along the tracks, in the vicinity of the present-day Pine Street overpass, Mr. Whitmore had built immense warehouses to store his grain. For much of its early existence, Ceres was merely on a grain producing and shipping purpose. In 1881 Whitmore built a huge enterprise – the Ceres Flour Mill – to help retain profits in the community by milling the wheat grown here. The building reportedly cost $30,000 to build. It featured a straw-burning boiler and a Corliss engine. It was not without risk of fire and in the summer of July 1883, a fire got out of control and destroyed the building. As Ceres’ population grew, the need for schools grew to the point where a small schoolhouse was needed. For years Davis School northwest of Ceres served adequately. It was a small structure built on a farm owned by M.M. Williams at Hatch Road at Highway 99. The Davis School District was organized January 27, 1859 by Harvey Bates Davis. The school was replaced in the 1870s by a one-room schoolhouse. Aurelia Chapin, Ceres’ first school teacher, consented to educate Ceres’ first generation when the schoolhouse was relocated. She retired in 1879. In 1886 Ceres residents taxed themselves to build a two-story school building on what is now Whitmore Park (then called Triangle Park). It opened in 1887. The building was enlarged after Ceres residents voted 15 to 6 to approve a tax on September 3, 1898. In 1908 there became a need for a high school so students met in the Grange Hall located in the south section of the park. Ceres High School officially opened for the first time on August 31, 1908 with 25 eager students and Principal J.E. Williams at helm. They came from the Tuolumne River to the north, Hughson on the east, Keyes on the south and Westport on the west. The next year 55 students were enrolled with H.H. Tracy as principal. The first graduating class of Ceres High School, in 1912, received diplomas in the upstairs of the Collins & Warner Hall on Fourth Street. A bricked high school was completed in 1915 on Whitmore Avenue immediately west of what is now the old gymnasium. The building was razed in 1965 to make way for the new administration building and new classrooms and the Doghouse. The Ceres Grammar School was built in 1909 on North Street. Its first principal was John Andrew Wagener who served until 1920. The school was located where present-day Ceres Fire Station #1 sits. The school was replaced by Whitmore School on Lawrence Street in 1930. After World War II more schools were needed.
