The CA State Fair Sept. 21. announced the addition of the first-ever, state-sanctioned cannabis competition and awards. The CA State Fair Cannabis Competition and Awards will join a roster of coveted, annual competitions celebrating California’s rich agricultural history and dynamic industries including wine, craft beer, olive oil and cheese.

“We are pleased to celebrate California’s legal and licensed cannabis industry as part of the CA State Fair in 2022,” said California Exposition & State Fair Board of Director Jess Durfee. “For the past 166 years, the CA State Fair has always been a first mover, leading the State Fair circuit with innovative programming and largescale competitions that celebrate the best the state has to offer, making the addition of cannabis cultivation a natural new category.”

In 2018, commercial cannabis became legal in the State of California for adult use and since that time has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry. The awards have been developed in partnership between the California Exhibition & State Fair and Cultivar Brands, a California-based cannabis marketing and events agency who specializes in the creation of programs that continue to move cannabis into the mainstream. “ The launch of statesanctioned awards is a watershed moment for the Californian cannabis industry,” said Cultivar Brands CEO Brian Applegarth.

“Not only will we showcase the California farmer, large and small, and the incredible cannabis flower that the state has to offer, but we will educate and demystify the plant, challenge the stereotypes and continue to evolve towards normalcy.”

The competition is open to all licensed growers in California.

Entrants will be classified into three classifications representing three primary divisions for submission by light source: Indoor, Mixed Light and Outdoor.

The competition will award medals for the cannabis flower

only, showcasing the primary cannabinoids and terpenes expressed in the cannabis flower.

Seven individual cannabis plant compounds will be tested and identified for awards. Based on the levels of cannabinoid and terpenes concentration, 77 bronze, silver, gold and double gold medals will be awarded including the coveted Golden Bear trophy for “Best of California.”

The competition will be scored objectively, through science-based analysis performed and certified by SC Labs, one of California’s premier cannabis and hemp testing lab.

SC Labs will provide all entrants with the required Certificates of Analysis (COAs), as well as a PhytoFacts® chemometric report that will identify all the unique compounds of the submission to determine the award winners.

“I’m really excited to be involved with the state fair because it is the traditional place where the agricultural community comes to show off their best work,” SC Labs Co-founder and President Josh Wurzer. “This just further validates cannabis as part of that community.

As a cannabis scientist, it’s really cool to see an event like this putting the data and analytics at the forefront of the process. It’s making a big leap forward for the application of quantitative cannabis testing to actually measure the qualitative aspects of cannabis.”

The first-ever CA State Fair Cannabis Competition and Awards will evaluate the 2021 harvest and celebrate the award winners during the CA State Fair set to take place July 10-26, 2022, at the Cal Expo Fairgrounds in Sacramento, California. The submission window opens on November 1, 2021 and will remain open until March 30, 2022. Award winners will be announced in May of 2022.

This historic moment has arrived, and cannabis is now officially part of the CA State Fair, one of the world’s largest state fairs. For more information on the CA Cannabis Competition and Awards, visit www. castatefaircannabisawards.com.

Chautauqua Playhouse and the Macbeth Project present “King Lear” Chautauqua Playhouse in association with The MacBeth Project will present “King Lear”, by William Shakespeare, adapted by Khimberly Marshall, beginning on October 15 at the Playhouse. The show will run on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 2:00 pm through November 14. The performances are held at the Chautauqua Playhouse, 5325 Engle Road in the La Sierra Community Center in Carmichael. Admission is $23 General, $21 Seniors/Students and SARTA members.

Premium seating is an additional dollar. Tickets at the door are $25.

Chautauqua is excited to bring you this co-production with the MacBeth Project, which was built out of a community outcry for more African American representation in the classical theater arts. Presenting Shakespeare’s most beloved classic with a twist, this project incorporates a love of Afro-futurism, which honors the African Diaspora bridging the past, present and possible futures by re-imagining the possibilities of Shakespeare. Join us for this exciting new look at Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy, King Lear.

Performances on October 22 and 23 will include a “Talk

Back” with the cast and crew.

Performance on October 31 will include a costume contest, with a prize for the best costume. Patrons are invited to wear costumes for this performance.

Patrons will be required to follow CDC, local and state requirements and must be masked during the performances. Proof of vaccination or a recent negative covid test may be requested. Mandatory temperature check for all patrons.

The direction and stage design is by Khimberly Marshall, with light design

by Andrew Fiffick. The cast includes David Inniss, Dannyelle Finch, BJ Nash, Carla Fleming, Arifah Allah, Mel Knox, Conrad Crump, KT Masala, Lynnis Wood – Mullins, Aladria Brown, Halin Moss, Miles Meckling and Tylre Allen.

The Macbeth Project enjoys a partnership with The Sojourner Truth Multicultural Art Museum. For more information on The MacBeth Project, their website is www.themacbethproject.com.

Information and tickets are available through the Chautauqua Playhouse website: www.cplayhouse.org or call the box office at (916) 4897529, during business hours.
