The fair is coming to Orange County!

I feel bad even posting information about the fair because I’m not a huge fan.  Their prices are outrageous and my kids are always screaming “Buy me corn! I want to buy that toy! Why won’t you let me go on that ride again?”  Not to mention, when the sun goes down the crowd tends to change.  However, if you are a fan of the fair then let me at least share with all of you the promotions they are having for 2012.

The fair is at the OC Fair Grounds from July 13 – August 12 which means you have at least 1-2 paychecks during that time frame to help you pay for this expensive “family outing”.  But, if you want to at least save on the admission and parking you can get there on July 13^th between 12-1pm (yes, they give you only ONE hour) and it will be free (parking/admission).  I’m sure that it will be very busy, so make sure you arrive early to prepare for all of the traffic.
