If you missed the Orange County Fair or haven’t got your fill of cotton candy, carousels and concerts, don’t miss the L.A. County Fair which kicks off this weekend in Pomona.  So what’s new and exciting this year at the fair?

• Our Body:  The Universe Within
• L.A. In Ice:  A Frozen Exhibit
• Lifehouse (they may not be “new” but they’re definitely exciting)
• 50 kinds of pre-packaged candy apples (YUM!)
• Whoopie pies (YUM…again!)
• Photo Lounge

The fair offers something for the entire family. From animals and rides to shopping and food, I know we’ll find it difficult to fit everything into one day.  Which is why you should check out their promotions.  This weekend, the fair opens for Labor Day and will offer the following:

Admission –$1, 10 a.m. – 1. p.m., regular admission rates apply after 1 p.m.

1 p.m. to closing $17 (ages 13+)
