Theme: Summer Sports

Off To The San Diego Fair 2008- "Summer Sports" (Page One)

Our 2008 theme celebrated a wide variety of sports at all levels, from youth to professional. The Fair featured a theme exhibit with sports displays such as Ivan Stewart's Baja off-road racing truck, a collection of Olympic medals from every modern Olympics, Sports Illustrated covers featuring athletes with a San Diego connection, and much more. Sports celebrities who were on hand included baseball Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, Charger Shawne Merriman, Olympic and professional soccer star Shannon MacMillan, off-road racer Ivan Stewart, boxer Julio C?sar Ch?vez, and many more.

We drove to the San Diego Fair which is exactly 80 miles door to door.  We took Mr. Pickup as is it a county fair, right? The 2008 San Diego County Fair will run daily through Sunday, July 6. Our "Summer of Sports" theme celebrates a wide variety of sports at all levels, from youth to professional.
