Economy Gets the Best of the Love Ride

The large annual Harley Davidson ride and charity from Glendale to Fairplex has been canceled this year. Although 25,000 bikers attended last year, topped off with performances by ZZ Top and Foo Fighters, the reality of pulling off the event meant to raise money for various charities just wasn't there for organizers as pre-sales were way down.

       

We brought our family, checked out the farm animals and attractions and oh my freaking god, did we eat a lot of deep fried food and cheese fries. The month-long LA County Fair ends on Sunday with Saturday hosting the LG World Championships of Freestyle Motocross and a Filter concert (but they do cost extra). Here are a few more photos from the fair starting with this crazy 28-pound rabbit.

              

The Los Angeles County Fair is in town at the Pomona Fairplex from September 5th thru the 29th. Lots of fun, food, and farm for the whole family! More than just milking cows and eating pies, there are a number of activities ranging from animal amusement to educational to just get out and eat! The usual rides and games are scattered throughout plus there is shopping, dancing and just about anything you could want to do. Plenty of parking: $10 general, $15 reserved and $20 VIP (the VIP is worth it if you go when its hot) and stay 'til late! The fair is open Wed - Sun generally from 11am to 10pm. Adult admission is $17 ($12 weekdays) and kids get in for $12 ($7 weekdays). There are also group rates and season passes. Here is a little of what we saw this weekend...

It's that time of year again--time to pack everyone in the car, gas it up, and trek out to the Fairplex in Pomona to get your LA County Fair on. You may have been seeing those ads that play on current events for this year's 18-days of fun and counting the days, or maybe you've never been. Either way, it's a fun outing, and, if you go today, admission is only $1 until 5 p.m. The fair boats hundreds of attractions, rides, booths, and shows, ranging from exotic animals to home improvement, prize-winning crafts and baked goods on display, horse racing, parades, concerts, and competitions galore.
