San Diego County Fair takes place at the historic Del Mar Racetrack - half of Hollywood used to hang out there in the mid 20th century. It's been updated and remodeled and is a really nice place to hold a fair - I can certainly recommend the BBQ'ed turkey legs and the cinnamon rolls - bummer is I have to wait 'til next year to get 'em again!

The theme this year was "Out Of This World" - that made it a lot of fun!
Some of my shots reflect that theme.

1. Sy and Fy - The Greeters

2. Wonderment

3. Happy Horses

4. Alien Starflowers

5. Fine Woodworking

6. Out in Space

7. Turkeys with a career

8. UFO

9. Headed for Fun

10. Space Brains?

Good stuff here! I like out in space and love the turkey race. The things people do...

Woohoo... Turkey stampede....... Now that is some funny stuff...
Really nice shots...

Thanks you guys for the look and the comments - I appreciate the feedback.

Although the Turkey Stampede was pretty darn exciting, my favorite is still the Swifty Swine Pig Races - those little piglets are just too cute - check them out on YouTube.
I wondered what made the birds chase the little red truck - turns out that turkeys are pretty much motivated, like the rest of us, by a good meal!

Thank-you Lensmole! I'm glad they held some interest - that's always (for me) part of the goal.
