Last week we posted about Nik Wallenda (of The Flying Wallendas famous circus act) and his attempt to tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon without a harness or safety net. We are happy to see that he succeeded! Despite unexpected winds and the nerve-wracking 1,500 feet drop beneath him, Nik walked the 1,4000 feet distance…
We are no strangers to stunts here at the L.A. County Fair. At Esmeralda’s Traveling Circus it’s common to see trapeze artists flying through the air and men juggling flaming bowling pins and hula hoops.

It’s crazy to think that the L.A. County Fair has been around since 1922. That’s more than 30 years before Disneyland was built! The memories and stories that originated from the Fair are endless. It would take years to hear them all! We love to hear about your memories whether it’s in the comments section…
Memorial Day Weekend has come and gone. You know what that means… Summer is officially HERE! Okay, okay, technically the summer solstice doesn’t happen until June 21 but since we live in Southern California where we have fabulous weather all-year-round, why not start the party a little early? For a lot of people (including Hot…
It’s 90 days until opening day of the Fair, and I was trying to think of a way to share that with a current spin – so I’m opting for the ubiquitous June dads and grads theme. What does the Fair, which opens Aug. 30, have to do with Father’s Day and graduations? Buy your Pop or…
