Fairplex Weekend Recap: Pink, paint, Pomona Swap Meet

April 18, 2016

We took full advantage of the perfect Southern California weather this weekend with a fun run, volunteering, painting and cruising. Read on for our weekend recap!

Cosmo Run 7K
We went pink this Saturday for the All-Ladies Cosmo Run 7K! Ladies clad in bright pink shirts dominated the 4.3 mile course and finished at the Longboard Bar & Grill with — you guessed it — pink cosmos and medals. We had a blast hosting this event again!

Pomona Beautification Day

While our event managers were busy with the Cosmo Run, our community outreach team, Thummer the Fair mascot, and other employees headed into the city for Pomona Beautification Day.

We joined community organizations and volunteers for a morning of cleaning, painting, sweeping, planting and other service projects.

We wrapped things up by giving our 1,800 volunteers complimentary tickets to the 2016 LA County Fair. What a day!

 

Palates & Palettes: Georgia O’Keeffe
Our third Palates & Palettes wine and paint session of the year celebrated the talents of USA painter Georgia O’Keeffe. It’s always fun seeing how everyone’s paintings turn out (especially after those first couple glasses of wine 🙂

Pomona Swap Meet
We ended the weekend with the Pomona Swap Meet. There’s something special about the sight of hundreds of classic cars set against the San Gabriel Mountains and a SoCal sunny day…

All in all, it was definitely a fun weekend for us. Stay tuned with us as we document Fairplex happenings this week!
