All proceeds go to the PHA Pulmonary Hypertension Association, an association that works to bring awareness to Pulmonary Hypertension, a incurable disease Dunlop has. A baking contest and chili cook-off were also a part of the fair festivities. Grand Terrace Mayor Darcy introduced the judges of the contests and the winners. The judges who were chosen to taste test the delicious treats included Jane Haines, Senior Center President; Penny Radtke, Grand Terrace Woman's Club President; Jim McNaboe, Lions Club President; Casey Carlson, Grand Terrace Chamber of Commerce and Oscar Perez from the Rec Center. Virginia Fernandez and Bob Youhas tied for first place in the chili contest and Trudi Loder took second place. Nicole Irey won first place for the cake contest and Tyler Loder won second place. Joyce Lester won first place for the pie contest and Dawn Marie Irey won second place. For the cookie contest, Kathy Gors won first place and Lola Hornbeck took second place. Julian Monteon won first place for the salsa contest. Fairgoers also had the opportunity to buy used books from the “Friends of the Library” sale, with proceeds going toward buying new books and DVDs for check-out in the library. Some of the other items that were up for sale included handmade quilts, woodworkings and leather items, home décor, hand-made buttons and other jewelry. McNaboe also welcomed the Historical and Cultural Activities Committee, the sponsors of the event including Chairperson Pauline Grant, Treasurer Masako Gifford, Secretary Martha Monteon, Martina Boentaran, Rochelle Rosenkild, Susan Robles, Frances Carter and Ann Petta.
