Southern California Fair

Here we are in sunny, southern California! We left early Friday morning with the usual mound of suitcases it takes for 10 people to travel together.

Our flights went really well. The weather was great and everything was on time. Ed, Steve and I all got to sit together.

Upon arrival, we loaded the vans.  No, we couldn’t see out the back window.

The view along the way….

We arrived here late afternoon. We checked into the hotel and promptly found an In N Out burger to satisfy our appetites! Then we did some grocery shopping and got a good nights sleep.

Saturday was a long day. We arrived at the fair at 9:30 and settled into our break room. The bad news is, it’s a kitchen. The good news is, it’s a kitchen! We have a microwave, a coffee pot and a walk in refriderator. That’s pretty cool! (pun intended)

The guys played for the opening ceremonies then strolled the grounds a bit. They played four shows the first day but the times were spread out until 7:30 pm.  It makes for a long day.  The fair grounds aren’t very large, but everyone is very friendly and the grounds are kept very clean.  It seems like a nice family fair with lots of things for young ones to do.

Here they are playing after the opening ceremonies.

Strolling the grounds.

Entertaining some diners.

Hmmmm, staff cleaning??

This is the greatest thing!  Turkeys chasing a remote control truck full of turkey feed!

I think they need to get the band out there with those turkeys!
