The luck of Irish is with the Fair this weekend. The Celtic Village opened today and things are looking a little more emerald. It’s not surprising to see men in kilts (you can buy your own at one of the shops), hear stories from the old country and smell delicious bangers and chips at this…
Fair Food Friday: Speaking Frankly
Hot Dog! One of the Fair’s staple foods is corn dogs and hot dogs. But these aren’t your average backyard wieners. The Fair always does things bigger and better, and there’s no exception here! Juicys has giant western sausages, cowabunga corn dogs and 1/2 pound hot dogs. They’ve also got smaller sizes, but that would…
Think Pig.
Last night our very own Thummer threw out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium! Thummer really knows how to “root” for the home team. We like to think this brought a bit of luck to the Dodgers and helped them beat the Giants! Check out the video too!

A Bear-y Good Time
The Weldes certainly know about the bear necessities. They family has been raising bears for 75 years. In the Welde’s Big Bear Expedition we see that the bears are incredibly intelligent animals that not only are able to perform tricks, but also hold hands and “kiss” the trainers with a good look. But the Weldes…

Dee Yeager, master floral designer, showed guests in the Flower and Garden Pavilion atrium how they could make a beautiful, monochromatic display using some non-traditional elements. To start arranging, Dee used a floral block by Oasis…
Wine Wednesday: What Do You Pair With a Corn Dog?
Who says wine has to be snobby? Our wine education keeps it real with a class on pairing fair food with wine. According to sommelier and class teacher Traci Dutton, the L.A. County Fair has some of the best fair food in the country. According to her, if it was a restaurant it would have…
Be True to Your School
We’ve got a lot of school pride that’s showing. What better way to celebrate your alma mater than a day at the Fair? We don’t think there is any, so each year we host college days for different schools in the area. Today we have the good folks from the University of La Verne (hence…
The Whole Enchilada (and Tamale, Eggroll, Tabouleh and Hummus)

The spread was beautiful and the judges had their work cut out for them. Here’s the winners and what they made: Hummus: Peggy Linberg of Upland Tabouleh: Heather Moloian of…
The “Mane” Attraction: Budweiser Clydesdales Don’t Disappoint
Clippety Clop. Clippety Clop. You probably already know we’ve got horses here at the Fair… the racing kind that run around at Fairplex Park. But we’ve also got a set of horses that are here purely for the delight of fair guests. The Budweiser Clydesdales are making their 26th Fair appearance and are helping us…
