Summertime just isn’t complete without the county fair.  I grew up going to the Santa Clara County Fair. The sights, sounds, and smells are all very vivid memories to me. We went to the LA County Fair last weekend. As we drove up, the Pomona Fairgrounds seemed like a tiny oasis lost in this mass land of Los Angeles.  As we stepped closer, it was as if we had drank from the same magic bottle as Alice.  Everything grew bigger as we shrunk to tiny bite size people. There were at least three or four ferris wheels, game alley spanned most of the fairgrounds, fried food every where you turned, drinks galore, and farm animals in a giant barn bigger than what you’d ever seen on the side of the Pacheco Pass. While I did take color photos, these few black and white photos taken with my Diana + bring back those happy memories of summertime at the county fair.
