Sights from the 2009 Fair

Faithful readers know the L.A. County Fair, which ends Sunday, is one of my favorite people places in the Inland Valley. Here are a few of the sillier things I saw this year.

This stand’s extremely literal name could be the official theme of this year’s fair, where even bacon could be found “smothered in chocolate.”

Heck, even otherwise-healthy vegetables weren’t safe. Do you think anyone put butter, mayo and salt on chocolate-covered corn?

Used to be that SoCal had lots of buildings shaped like the product they sold. Nice to see that look return, below, with a coffee stand shaped like a giant coffee pot.

Ah, the Ultimate Sushi Masker, just in time for Halloween. What would the Fair be without a misspelled sign or two? Whoever made this sign should have masked this error.

Unlike the real Fox Theater in Pomona, the miniature version at the Garden Railroad developed an enormous (scale-wise) cobweb. I love the Garden Railroad, btw.

Best of both worlds. Maybe the ice cream is served on a giant turkey leg.

Did you see anything this year that tickled your funnybone or otherwise delighted you?
