[gleeke]

any info? Cool/Hokey? Looking at taking my son to the monster truck/freestyle motoX event.

be patient, tolerant, and you will have fun. Lived there for 6 years and we went every year, but always knew what we were getting into.

No different then the OC fair.

I wish I knew what the OC Fair was, I'd have a point of reference. I'm guessing Woodstock Fair in CT...http://www.woodstockfair.com/

Thanks!!

The Oc Fair is the Orange County Fair, its about 75 miles north of SD.

I just don't have a point of reference since I live in RI and I'm visiting SD in 10days.
Thanks for the info

sorry about that. It is the Orange County equal to the fair. We lived in SD and moved to the OC two years ago. The fairs are about 50 miles apart but are very similar. Think country, cheap, and simple and you will have fun.

JBH sounds just like the Woodstock Fair here out east. Flannel By the Ton and Mullits for MILES!!!

SD County fair is great if you're interested in trying the latest/greatest in deep fried treats. One year it was Twinkees, the next Snickers...

Who knows what's in store this year...

Oh, and Mini Kiss was there last year...

El dOOd, I'd love to have a deep fried snickers bar!!!
Can you ride Wed, July 2nd, In the AM?

Thanks for showing me this site.

Weekdays are no good for this working stiff. Let me know if you're up for something on a Saturday.

Glad to see you found some responses. Those crickets you were talking to over at MTBR weren't giving you anything useful...

Enjoy your stay...

I went in Sunday and saw fried oreo's, I didn't have the room for it since I destroyed a funnel cake.

I was there all damn day on Sunday and didn't sniff these out???
How did I miss these?
Seriously though, I'm a carnie freak. I go three maybe four times a year... seriously.

I think it will always be the Del Mar Fair, no matter what they change the name to.

I go 2-3 times a year. Great people watching and great food. Fried Twinkies are a tradition.
