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). We had a wide variety of contestants but all of them had one thing in common:…
Fair employees are at the Fair every day. They walk by the deep-fried goodies at Chicken Charlies, smell the smoke emanating from turkey legs and are exposed to Dip n’ Dots, Pink’s Hot Dogs, 10-pound buns, kettle corn, cotton candy and corn dogs on a daily basis. You may think you’re indulging when you spend…
Pets Ahoy is a riotous, swashbuckling adventure with the furriest, friendliest animals at the Fair and their not-so intimidating pirate cohorts. Located behind Mojo’s African Safari, Pets Ahoy is a pirate-themed adventure that animal lovers of all ages will enjoy. Our Barking Buccaneers show has dogs big and small doing flips, tricks and catches in…
What’s a Fair without a food-eating competition? Since Chicken Charlie debuted the Krispy Kreme cheeseburger this year, we thought it would be fun to have a little food eating competition among our Fairguests. That includes you. We, the L.A. County Fair, challenge you to the Fair Food Frenzy competition to see who can eat a…
We officially have 5 days left of the Fair. It seems like only yesterday that we were welcoming in the sea lions and setting up Pencils 2 Pixels and yet somehow, we have reached the last week at the speed of light. In case you haven’t had a chance to check out everything, here are…
We have a winner for our Beneath the Sea giveaway! Congratulations to Oliver for being the lucky winner. Oliver says he would rather swim with sharks. “I’d take my chances with the shark. One mouth trying to eat me vs 10 tentacles grabbing and still trying to eat me!” A wise choice in our opinion.…
While we love our cows, goats and sheep, it’s always fun to make a new friend or two at the Fair. This year we have a brand new show called Max’s Barn Animal Friends and they are a “hoot” (pun intended). When you think of farm animals you typically think of your pigs, horses and…
By now you’ve all had a chance to meet the sea lions at Sea Lion Splash, but did you know that just across the way from their hang-out is Beneath the Sea? Beneath the Sea: An Underwater Adventure is full of friendly creatures like our stingrays, horseshoe crabs and even a mermaid! We can’t say…
We are in the throes of a talent war: Battle of the Bands 2013. Our second annual competition brought local high-school and college bands to the Fair to rock out and compete for a spot at Vans Warped Tour. The talent is fierce and the competition is steep. Last year the judges liked all the…
Last year we gave out a few fun facts about the history of funnel cake. Like most traditions, this Fair food staple has evolved and grown bigger over the years. What used to be a simple deep-fried treat with powered sugar sprinkled on top has turned into a decadent sugar-infested bonanza. Last night I tried…
