Nothing describes the sights, sounds and tastes of summer like your local county fair. It's a celebration of all things fun, festive and exciting.

One thing about me is that I actually don't really like carnival rides. I actually really enjoy looking at the displays, arts and crafts, but the rides do offer some great pictures.

The food at the fair is always an adventure just in itself. Try everything from bacon wrapped turkey legs to fried chocolate pickles (no thanks).

The OC Fair has a summer long concert series. We saw Matisyahu.

The fair is a different sight at night. I love seeing the carnival lights as well as the light from the huge LED signs create a different atmosphere.

Hope to see you at the fair soon!
