Fair Food Friday: Desserts on desserts on desserts
Tonight we listened to our sweet tooths and went on a smorgasbord of pure sugar… First up, Dr. Bob’s Ice Cream! We’ve been craving a triple-scoop waffle cone since day one and we finally made it over to the Farm for some proper over-indulgence. Yum. On the way out we encountered our favorite discovery of…
Clay Play
Did you know that you can take a pottery class here at LACF? Wander down Redwood street, where Thunder Alley is roaring. To the right, behind the Millard Sheets Art Center, you’ll find it. Tucked away behind a little courtyard where water gurgles is the ceramics shop. There, student volunteers will help you make your…
Got Milk?
When I came in to work this morning, everything was great and peachy. However, after a few minutes in the vicinity, my stomach was tied up in knots and I felt the need to go back to my house and just sleep! The strangest feeling ever – and I had no idea why! Today seemed…
Sense-ational
When you think of art, what’s the first thing that comes into your head? I’m willing to bet most of you thought of a rare painting or sculpture, something you can experience through sight. Maybe some of you considered a particular song of great beauty. The Art of the Senses exhibit here at the LA…

Fair Food Friday: Dinnertime at the Fair
We felt like a sit-down dinner tonight at the Fair and made a beeline for Maria’s Italian Kitchen. A/C and gourmet food seemed like a delicious contrast to the deep-fried fanfare and outdoor fun last week! First up, Italian garlic fries, paired with the finest of fine sauces: ketchup. Salty, crunchy, 100{62245692f563d27b9d36e7e01cc13940036b3fd1b9326aee961c7dac74c92b1e} satisfying. For our…
