- Share via
Two Ventura County ranchers and a former Camarillo mayor have been named as new directors to the Ventura County Fair Board by Gov. Pete Wilson, fair officials said.
Wilson also reappointed director Earl McPhail, the Ventura County agriculture commissioner, to a second four-year term on the board.
The governor appointed Sandi Bush of Camarillo, Robert B. Frost of Santa Paula and Thomas P. Pecht of Oxnard.
They replace directors Don Dufau, an Ojai farmer; Al Nunes, a retired farmer from Camarillo, and Larry Loughman, a Camarillo accountant.
Pecht, an Oxnard rancher, is vice president of the Ventura County Farm Bureau and a regional director for the California Agriculture Leadership Program. His father, the late Paul Pecht, was a previous fair board director, and served as board president in 1973.
Frost, a Santa Paula cattle rancher, is president of the Ventura County Cattleman’s Assn. and has served on the fair’s Junior Livestock Auction Committee in past years.
Bush, who in 1989 won the fair’s VIP Lemon Pie Contest, is a former Camarillo councilwoman and two-time mayor of Camarillo. She is active in county civic groups, including California Women of Agriculture, the Pleasant Valley Historical Society and the Ventura County Taxpayers Assn.
