Jammin' At The Fair

Purple Cows: Our First Visit In 2004

OC Fair 2004

`I never saw a purple cow, I never hope to see one ...'' -- Gelett Burgess IF EVER THERE WAS a place to see a purple cow, or be one, it would be at the 112th Orange County Fair, opening Friday and showcasing some of the best community offerings of livestock, floriculture, food, arts and crafts in town. The theme ``Jammin' at the Fair'' salutes that glorious globe, the grape (purple and otherwise), in its naturally occurring.

The 112th annual Orange County fair opens Friday with the theme "Jammin' at the Fair," reflecting a menu of music and traditional attractions that draw people back from year to year, officials said.

The fair will conclude on Aug. 1 -- the second year that it has been expanded to three weeks, the fair's Pam Highwart said.
