One of the traditions of the Fair is the Culinary contests and competitions – we still give out blue ribbons for Grandma’s apple pie. What’s fun is watching contestants compete against each other at the on-site competitions – especially when the contestants happen to be married to each other. That was the scenario today at the…
Ever see a bunch of short-legged dogs run in thick dirt? Very funny. The Wiener Dog races had several heats at the L.A. County Fair – all very funny indeed. One racer, Blazer from Newport Beach, well, it was a miracle he made it to the end. At 35 lbs, he was the biggest contestant…

Have you been to the hillside behind the Flower & Garden Pavilion? That is where you will take a Safari Adventure. The area is nicely decorated with Zimbabwe ruins and there are quite a few wild animals to see. The hillside is home to camels, zebras, ostriches and a few Basenjis. We even have parrot…
