Today&#8217;s theme: <strong>staying cool.<\/strong>\u00a0Temperatures are supposed to drop by the end of the weekend, but for now we&#8217;re cooling down as much as we can!

All the ice cream: <\/strong>We have an incredibly colorful variety of ice cream treats at the Fair this year. From Chicken Charlie&#8217;s cotton candy ice cream sandwiches to the Fair-exclusive flavors from Afters Ice Cream, there are plenty of sweet creamy treats to try.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re looking for that old-school flair, Old Time&#8217;s soft-serve never disappoints. In fact, it wouldn&#8217;t be the LA County Fair without them!<br \/>\nWe even have gourmet gelato thanks to Fabe&#8217;s Curros and Gelato!<br \/>\nDownload the Fairplex app on your Android or iPhone and visit the LA County Fair tab to explore your options!<br \/>\n<strong>2. Fruit smoothies: <\/strong>Terri&#8217;s Berries fruit smoothies are <em>delicious <\/em>and one of our go-to treats on a hot afternoon. The Mixed Berry is one of our favorites (paired with a giant cup of watermelon!)<br \/>\n<strong>3. Indoor dining: <\/strong>Escape the heat, soak up the A\/C and enjoy a relaxing meal at one of our indoor restaurants! There is plenty to choose from: Maria&#8217;s Italian Kitchen, Spaghetti Eddie&#8217;s, Top of the Park&#8230; and if you don&#8217;t want to have a full sit-down meal, there are plenty of food stands inside our shopping halls.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/top-of-the-park.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8405\" title=\"top of the park\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/top-of-the-park.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/LACF_Food_shaveice.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-8406\" title=\"LACF_Food_shaveice\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/LACF_Food_shaveice-201x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>4. Shave Ice: <\/strong>If you&#8217;re looking for something a little lighter than ice cream, why not try shave ice? There are plenty of flavorful combos to choose from: strawberry, watermelon, blueberry, cherry, pineapple, the list goes on!<br \/>\n<strong>BONUS: Michelaguas: <\/strong>Okay so a michelagua\u00a0doesn&#8217;t necessarily count as food, but it&#8217;s one of our favorite drinks so we thought we would give it a little love!<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re visiting us this weekend, please remember to stay cool! Drink plenty of water, hang out in our indoor exhibits and treat yourself to one of these ice-cold options.<br \/>\nWhat are some of your favorite LA County Fair food items?
