90 Minute Drive To Del Mar & The San Diego Fair
The San Diego County Fair, is a county fair held every summer at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in Del Mar, California . The fair is a major draw for San Diego County residents; in recent years, attendance figures have risen above a million annually, reaching a height of 1,250,320 in 2004.
The fair features many daily musical and talent performances from artists of varying notability. There are also dozens of contests, ranging from agricultural to artistic efforts.
Like many county fairs, animal exhibits are abundant throughout the Del Mar Fairgrounds as well as rides and games for people of all ages. As of 2007, there are about 80 different rides. There are also exhibits glorifying San Diego County's heritage as well as exhibits specially designed for the fair's current theme. For example, the theme for 2007 is "A Salute to Heroes," which involves an exhibit honoring such people. The fair's theme changes annually, making the fair somewhat different each year.
We always go to the Orange County Fair and have been for seventeen years....
We get so excited about it that Sue suggested we go to the
San Diego Fair
just to warm up... We did and it wasn't (warm) but it was a lot of fun.
90 minute drive south from our house, we got there at 9:50 and parked a
few feet away from the front door
.
I even stayed on my diet!
We go every two years now and spend the entire day. The Del Mar Race Track facilities make it very pleasant. Come join us on our recent visits.
