Sports

LA County Fair

It's difficult to summarize all the LA County Fair has to offer. It's difficult to contain its awesomeness. It is after all, the largest county fair in North America. We're talking deep fried Oreos, throwing darts at balloons to win giant stuffed bananas wearing sunglasses, horse races, culinary competitions, handmade arts and crafts, multiple circus performances and grandstand concerts featuring everyone from En Vogue and Salt-n-Pepa to Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson. Plus, there are rides! Our advice is to ride The Scrambler before eating the deep fried Oreos.
