What's quacking so far at the L.A. County Fair?
Happy Monday, everyone! New blogger here – you can just call me “A Fair to Remember.” I’ve only been here a few days, but I’ll be the first one to tell you that there is so much “quacking” already here on the fairgrounds, like these geese at Penelope’s Duck Pond, part of Fairview Farms. They’re…

And the Wiener Is…
Ever see a bunch of short-legged dogs run in thick dirt? Very funny. The Wiener Dog races had several heats at the L.A. County Fair – all very funny indeed. One racer, Blazer from Newport Beach, well, it was a miracle he made it to the end. At 35 lbs, he was the biggest contestant…
