Angels Camp, CA – A staple of the Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee, Director Bob Trinchero has passed.
Trinchero died on Tuesday. He was 80 years old and had been in declining health for several years, according to CEO Fair Manager Laurie Giannini. Trinchero held the position of Fair Director for 22 years. Over those years, he was instrumental in forming the “Friends of the Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee” in 2008.
