That time of year again... The San Diego County Fair!

If you live in San Diego County and have not gone to this fair at least once, you are not a local. Okay maybe that is an exaggeration, but really the fair is amazing. Up until a year or two ago the fair was known as the Del Mar Fair, for obvious reasons, as it was located in Del Mar. Anyways, every year there is a different theme, one year it was Dr. Seuss, as a memorial to the very cherished local and children's book author. This year it is race to the fair, with racing flags and cars plentiful thoughout the fair. Their are numerous contest in which you can enter in art, woodwork, botany, and more. My school won best in show for its newpaper, which I was a proud editor in chief of.
If you need more reasons to go, go for the food. The San Diego Fair is known for its bizarre deep fried foods, funnel cakes, and all sorts of food raging from local treats to international delights. Not to mention classic fair foods like kettle corn and cotton candy. Here are a couple pictures of just a few of the fair's specialties

Eww right


Surprisingly good, deep fried Oreos and Twinkies are offered. Also deep fried butter, but I suggest you keep away from that.
The rides offer a lot of fun excitement for thrill seekers both young and old, and for those uninterested in rides there is also games and shops galore. So come on down and enjoy this festive and exciting fair. I will be there today and can hardly wait! Ta ta for now!
