They were lining up before the Fair opened with five cans of canned goods ready to donate to Los Angeles Regiona Foodbank in return for free Fair admission (with NO waiting in line). It was a win for everyone. As of 3 p.m. we had filled up eight huge wheeled bins with food for needy Los Angelenos.…

Frosting Shooters and Dog Water, Too
I guess I should clarify that. It’s dog water bowls – ones you can strap to your belt or pant-waist. These are some of the unusual products/foods you can get at the Fair. Water Rover is a plastic bottle with an attached bowl for your dog to drink from when on walks. It clips to…

Jim Cogan entertains, educates, amuses and mesmerizes visitors with his amazing tales, all centered around the gallery’s theme, The Making of Art – The First 30,000…
Tasty indeed!
Had my first bite of Tasty Chips, those delicious hand-cut, homemade potato chips. With just the right amount of salt – ah, heaven! Thin slices of potatoes, fried to a perfect crispness (not too crisp). Served with dipping sauces – cheese, ketchup, ranch. On the side – seasoned salt, lemon juice and hot sauce. Way…
