It’s animals galore at the San Mateo County Fair, where visitors are able to meet the goats, cattle, horses and rabbits that local 4-H and Future Farmers of America students have been raising. The animals are shown by students and judged in competitive exhibitions, with the final event — the large animal master showmanship — June 5.

San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe will be seeking the death penalty against the man who allegedly killed seven Half Moon Bay farmworkers in 2023, in what was the county’s largest mass shooting to date. Wagstaffe said he could not speak further on the decision due to a gag order on the case against 68-year-old Chunli Zhao. Zhao was indicted by a grand jury nearly a year ago on seven counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted first degree murder.

Foundation board members unanimously voted in May to wind down operations — including its scholarship and community grants programs — and spend the rest of its endowment on a large legacy project.
