A Community Heroes ceremony is set to start 5:30 p.m. The ceremony is held at Esmeralda’s Big Top Theatre.

Fairplex, home of the 2012 L.A. County Fair, has long been a proud partner throughout the community, according to Fair officials.

“Our sense of social responsibility guides our decisions on growth and development, building on the community partnerships that we continue to nurture and cultivate,” officials wrote. “We are dedicated to investing in our collective future, and we strive, in turn, to be embraced by the community as their community asset. One example of this commitment is the L.A. County Fair Community Days Program.”
