It's only FAIR
I guess we would be remiss not to mention the LA County Fair, especially since it is in full swing and is probably one of the most family-friendly events happening now (runs through October 3rd).
Here is a link to the event guide for today, Friday, September 16th. I (C) personally have never visited the Fair but have always been intrigued. If you go, let us know how it is.
