Arrow Anyone going to the Del Mar Fair this year?

Yes, I called it the Del Mar Fair. I refuse to call it the San Diego County Fair. Just like it will always be Jack Murphy Stadium. Anyways, now thats out of my system. Anyone going? Today is the opening day!! I'm thinking about doing a kamikaze mission on Sunday, and eating until I puke!!

I'm only going for the Cinnamon roll covered in Cherries & Icing.... and maybe a Samoa donut. My Mom entered a quilt in the fair this year and I have to go see.

I still have a kid that performs on one of the small stages. We've been going for years for that reason alone. One or more kids performing.

LOL...that's funny. It was called the San Diego County Fair before it was called the Del Mar Fair.

Whatever you call it, it sucks and I hate it. Traffic is a freaking mess for the duration. Parking sucks. Parking is expensive. The fair is expensive and it's loaded with knuckle dragging breeders. Why anyone would intentionally and deliberately go to that thing is beyond me. I do not need "deep fried whatever the hell they're deep frying this year," that badly.

I saw and met John Mayall last time. No one I want to see this year. I don't care about the food and rides, both make me sick.

Not a fan of the fair, but we will usually go if we get free or really cheap tickets from somewhere. The kids like seeing the pig racing but my only motivation is eating the terrible food.

Costco has a family pack for (4) for like $76.99 I think.

Includes:

Four one-time-use admission tickets
One Passport To Savings coupon book voucher
50 ride coupons
Four 2-for-1 soft drink coupons, valid for 16 oz. drink
One parking pass

We go once a year. Our friend lives up the street and just park at her place.

Same thing every year. Random as seen on tv junk, crack head built rides, beef jerky, and fudge. It's not worth the hassle with traffic and wasting gas and paying for parking.

We went today. Haven’t been in probably 6-7 years. It was ok. We have our boy now so it’s fun to show him the animals.

Seriously though. It was tranny central. Like over the top gay dudes everywhere. What was up with that? The only place I didn’t see them was the kid section in the middle of the track.

Good opinion piece in the SD Union written by Michael Schwartz. Turns out it's the same 24 Del Mar communists trying to do this, for decades here.

I used to live in Del Mar, it's Cuba with Teslas.

The opposing piece was terrible. It tried to present the false choice of you either care for school safety or you care about guns. I read the Union Tribune daily and there's always Letters to the Editor that appeal to emotion when it comes to guns.

I just learned something new. I had no idea. Thanks BK

Quote:
In 1954, the fair's name was changed to the Southern California Exposition and San Diego County Fair. In 1970, this was shortened to the Southern California Exposition. The fair was again renamed in 1984 to the Del Mar Fair, which lasted until 2002 when the name San Diego County Fair was reinstated. It is sometimes still referred to as the "Del Mar Fair" by locals.

I'm planning on going tomorrow, there's a sweet Metallica cover band performing so I figured I'd go attend

Plus, it's my favorite time to go consume 50 million calories in single day

I'm with Pyro on this one, same repetitive crap every year, I'll pass, rather go to a gun show instead.

Cause that's not the same repetitive crap every year? Lol. Jerky, racist vendors, stupid parking, and overpriced guns and ammo......... Yep. Gun show is basically the fair without the rides.

Went yesterday with he wife. Enjoyed the distillery tasting and had some good whiskey. Also got a cherry cinnamon roll with icing and some fried shrimp from chicken Charlie's. The only reason I really went was because of the tasting and because my mom won 3rd place in the quilt contest.
