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…
Last week of Fair… are you ready?
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…
WINNER: Beneath the Sea Giveaway
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.…
Calves at the Fair!
We had a very exciting morning here at FairView Farms. One of our lovely cows gave birth to TWINS, born an hour apart from each other! We arrived on the scene around 11:30 a.m. so they were still slightly slimy and a little dazed and confused, but they were already trying to stand up and…
Meet Max's Barn Animal Friends
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…
Sunday Funday: Beneath the Sea + Giveaway
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…
Battle of the Bands Semi-Finals
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…
WINNER: Fair Food Friday Giveaway
We have a winner for our Fair Food Friday giveaway! Congratulations to Tom. Tom’s favorite funnel cake combination consists of a layer of Nutella with a light dusting of cinnamon, topped with vanilla Swiss almond ice cream. Sounds good to us! Thank you to everyone who submitted their favorite toppings! Strawberries, powdered sugar, whipped cream…
Fair Food Friday Giveaway
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…
Swimming with the sea lions…
We took our GoPro for a little swim during the Sea Lion Splash show last week. They didn’t seem to mind. Check it out!
