It’s the SkyRide that runs through the Broadway street nowadays but back in the 1960s and 70s a monorail used to transport guests around the grounds for a birds eye view of the entire Fair. Things sure have changed… but at least the Grandstand remains the same! Throwback Thursday: The 1960s L.A. County Fair
We were all saddened when we learned of the devastation the people of the Philippines have suffered from Typhoon Haiyan. Our Junior Fair Board (JFB) decided to help out.

Yesterday we mentioned our Fair Food Frenzy, which happened this afternoon! 16 participants competed to see who could chow down a 1 1/2 pound Krispy Kreme cheeseburger the fastest (the equivalent of a sugar-loaded 4×4 from In n’ Out).
