Del Mar (San Diego County) is June through the weekend including or following July 4th. The fairgrounds end almost at the ocean, so it has the most comfortable weather and cooling breezes.<BR/><BR/>After July 4th, the Orange County Fair opens in Costa Mesa (next door to the O.C.'s Newport Beach) for about a month or so. Comfortable weather, too, but a bit warmer than Del Mar.<BR/><BR/>Then it moves to L.A. County for August & part of September, and they hold it in Pomona, which is so far inland it bakes in the sun incessantly (temperatures near 100) with no ocean breezes to cool you. Why anybody ever goes to the Pomona Fair is beyond me. (Early September, by the way, is usually at least as hot as August.)<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your fair. Smaller ones are probably nicer than the big productions they have here.SkyePuppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571489259897997518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866194.post-81000339785584886112008-07-01T08:35:00.000-07:002008-07-01T08:35:00.000-07:00Chris,We don't have purple martins here, probably ...Chris,<BR/><BR/>We don't have purple martins here, probably because we don't have enough mosquitoes to keep them well-fed.SkyePuppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571489259897997518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866194.post-53564254514908101922008-07-01T05:05:00.000-07:002008-07-01T05:05:00.000-07:00I'm so ready for the fair...although ours is on a ...I'm so ready for the fair...although ours is on a MUCH smaller scale.
