The Fair is closed today, as it is every Monday and Tuesday of our run, but we had a great opening weekend – a precursor of things to come? We hope so. The weather is supposed to be cooler this week, so it’s a great time to visit the L.A. County Fair. Today, if you…
I had posted pre-Fair about Soccer Collies, the sensational duo who are here at the Fair every day in Bark Park, presented by Canidae all-natural dog food. Well, you have to come see them. These dogs will go head to nose against anyone in front of a soccer goal. Ms.Z (prounounced Mizzy) and Bek (named…

Today was the Men Knit, Too competition in our Tapestry exhibit. A group of ardent male knitters brought sweaters, scarves and blankets for the judge to inspect under her critiquing eyes.

He shared his recipes, of course (see below for Chef…

Wow! We are into day 2 of the LA County Fair, and it’s going great! There was a glitch in the blog system yesterday, so I couldn’t post. So this is my first post of the Fair. Day 1 went wonderfully well with lots and lots of people. The smell of roasted corn and turkey legs,…
It’s Here!!!!! Tomorrow is the Big Day!! It never fails to amaze me, the feeling I get when I drive down White and McKinley avenues adjacent to Fairplex the day before the Fair opens every year (and every year I say, “Wow, didn’t we just do this yesterday?”) – it truly is amazing how quickly…
Well, you must come to the L.A. County Fair to do so. She and two of her friends arrived at FairView Farms today bursting with life – literally! The three – two Black Angus and one Red – are expecting. With a little luck, they will deliver during Fair hours, which will provide our Fairguests…
