While we love our cows, goats and sheep, it’s always fun to make a new friend or two at the Fair. This year we have a brand new show called Max’s Barn Animal Friends and they are a “hoot” (pun intended). When you think of farm animals you typically think of your pigs, horses and…
By now you’ve all had a chance to meet the sea lions at Sea Lion Splash, but did you know that just across the way from their hang-out is Beneath the Sea? Beneath the Sea: An Underwater Adventure is full of friendly creatures like our stingrays, horseshoe crabs and even a mermaid! We can’t say…
We are in the throes of a talent war: Battle of the Bands 2013. Our second annual competition brought local high-school and college bands to the Fair to rock out and compete for a spot at Vans Warped Tour. The talent is fierce and the competition is steep. Last year the judges liked all the…
We have a winner for our Fair Food Friday giveaway! Congratulations to Tom. Tom’s favorite funnel cake combination consists of a layer of Nutella with a light dusting of cinnamon, topped with vanilla Swiss almond ice cream. Sounds good to us! Thank you to everyone who submitted their favorite toppings! Strawberries, powdered sugar, whipped cream…

We took our GoPro for a little swim during the Sea Lion Splash show last week. They didn’t seem to mind. Check it out!
We had a visitor at the Fair office today! You might recognize this cutie from our Unleash Your Inner Fair posters… she was our little pig girl! She stopped by to say hello on her way into the Fair and we couldn’t resist getting this picture of her. Thanks for stopping by!

Jane’s favorite dessert is gluten-free coconut almond cake. We will be posting more giveaways almost every day of the Fair…
New to the Fair (and the United States!) is spaghetti ice cream. Already a favorite in Europe, this sweet (or savory?) treat has been a huge hit in the States this year. We stopped by the Cardinali’s booth in Expo Hall 7 to check it out for ourselves. We watched as they made the “noodles,”…
We stopped by the Fairplex Garden Railroad this morning to say hello and check out all the new miniatures on the landscape. Our railroad is run completely by volunteers–people who genuinely love miniature trains and devote hours of their time to making sure our railroad looks pristine year-round! We posted this GoPro video last year,…
