For those local yocals who are thinking about the California State Fair, (nevermind what you were thinking) you may want to check out my articles at Davis Life Magazine.
( Part 1: http://www.davislifemagazine.com/2010/07/state-fair-for-pennies-or-less/ or Part 2: http://www.davislifemagazine.com/2010/07/finding-fun-at-the-state-fair/ ) I have not been there since I was a kid, and was surprised at how much more is being offered nowadays.
Also, congratulations to Marc who will shortly be receiving a complimentary copy of The Best of Friends. Thanks again to the author, Mimi K. for providing this book to give away. Marc, I will be contacting you shortly.

Great articles, Lora.
I love the State Fair! The heat, the greasy food, the freaks, the gluttony – all of it.
Jen and I went every year before I moved away. Now I’m back and we enjoyed it together again, with my mom, last weekend. It was nearly empty. Hard times? Or the odd change of dates? Who knows. I sure didn’t miss the crowds.
Good to know about it being not crowded. I think the crowds is often what keeps people away.
