We only have five more days left of the Fair! So crazy. It just seems like yesterday we were putting out pirates in Pets Ahoy!, heaving hay into the barn at FairVeiw Farms, putting the finishing touches on the floral arrangements in the Flower and Garden Pavilion, and warming up the deep fryers in preparation…

There’s been a lot of activity happening over in FairView Farms. Last night we had another baby calf born! We’d like to welcome Carlisle into the Fair family. Crowds gathered for several hours as the mother cow was in labor and our Director Farm Operations Sky Shivers shared about the whole process. This brings our…

It’s a similar concept to a flash mob, but only a spontaneous fashion show breaks out instead of dancing. It was pretty fun! Our models strutted their stuff down Broadway, carrying festive balloons.

They found a trusty steed, chose their weapon, selected their armor and fought their enemies with bravery. At the Knight School in the Land of…
The grandstands are packed with people today… not just for ponies but for different kind of horse power. The California Classic Car Show is taking place on the apron in Fairplex Park today. It goes until 5:30 p.m. so stop by if you have a chance. Our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/lacountyfair) has a great gallery of…
Many Fair guests have enjoyed strolling down memory lane thanks to the lunch box collection on display in the Eclections exhibit at the Millard Sheets Gallery. We’ve got a fun little Fair contest with these lunch boxes–first person to correctly name what’s on each of the lunch boxes below wins two tickets to the Fair!…
