 | VIDEO: Anything goes at The OC Fair, right? |
Is the Fair just for the kids? It’s for everybody I think. All types, all walks of life, and anything goes. Let’s just say I haven’t seen that many cigarettes, tats and black tees since, well last year at the Fair. It’s eat at your own risk and ride at your own risk, right? Case in point?

Now I don’t know these clowns’ back story but I know they hang there every day at the Fair, and they don’t even work there. They were characters and I kinda liked there all-out spirit.
The theme is The Beat Goes for 2010 fairgoers, and it’s all the carnival crazy and fried everything you remember with some new concert names and a new Hanger attraction.
Things I forgot you may want to plan for:
-Your kids ADD disorder that switches on like a light when they walk through the entrance. So many rides, games and food vendors, all vying for their attention. Meltdowns are quick unless you have a fat wallet. Wish I’d said: 5 rides, 3 games, 3 foods, and we’re good. That kind a thing might have helped.
-It’s hot, baby! Go later in the day; the night scene is fun and has that old-school feel.
-Hit the free kids’ area asap to play games when your game $ runs out.
-Bring your sense of adventure, and let the chips fall where they may. I tried a Mexican funnel cake (churro sugar fried conglomeration) this time vs the regular. Verdict: not as good but fun to branch out.
Yea, I can stick it to the Fair, like we all can, it’s so easy; but truth is, there’s a cool sense of old-time community that breeds through that place. And I think at heart, it’s a bunch of people from all walks of life just being kids again out to have fun and hang with others. And you can’t knock that.
