L.A Locals Love: The Orange County Fair 2016

Wow, it’s been a long time since I posted anything for my LA Locals Love series! I promise there’s more coming! If you’re new here, click here for a list of posts from that series – I introduce activities, restaurants, etc of places in the Los Angeles area.

Since county fairs can be fairly self-explanatory, I thought I would do more of a photo diary style. The colors, the ridiculous food, fun games are better communicated through pictures when it comes to fairs!

A booth dedicated to PICKLES! 
It’s a lot bigger than it looks and so much fun, even for adults!
Don’t be fooled, they give you tiny bean bags to throw at the balloons – super hard! 
‘Merica! Am I right? 
My favorite game, I almost always win! 
My favorite ride! I get to see the entire fairground! 
As you can tell, I’m pretty darn happy with my winnings.
Lunch with my baes, Peppa the Pig and Buddy from The Secret Life of Pets.
The Fair is so Instagrammable with all the fun colors!
That’s right, folks. This is deep fried cheesecake on a stick. Ambulance on speed dial.
My 2nd favorite ride! So much fun! 

That’s it, friends! I hope you enjoyed this little photo diary of my weekend at the Orange County Fair. It’s my 2nd time here and definitely won’t be the last. The LA County Fair starts mid September and I have yet to go to that one so hopefully I’ll make it this year! 

Also, my OC Fair 2015 is still one of the most read posts – click here to check that out!

    The fair looks so fun! And fried cheesecake on a stick? My life won't be complete until I try it!

    This looks like such a fun fair! Gosh I haven't been to a fair in years, and I think it's time to rectify that!

    Such fun photos! I love the bright colors of the amusement park with the perfect blue sky in the background. Love the comment about the large amounts of fried food in America, it was honest and humorous.

    The photos are absolutely amazing, we love all the vibrant colours. Cheesecake on a stick is genius and the whole post brings back memories of our local seaside arcade & fairground. It seems like you had an awesome (and successful day), quite jealous of the Squirtle! Love C and D x

    Thanks so much Flo! The Fair is always so fun! I wish it wasn't so hot (it was in the high 90's that day) but nothing an ice cream can't fix right? Haha! Hope you make it to one of the fairs too! Thanks for joining the linkup again this week! xo

    This might be just me but the rides cost like 18 tickets, which equals to about $8 a ride – for a fair ride, I think it's a biiiiiit much. The skychair is always my favorite so I invest in that but otherwise, I go for the food and games πŸ™‚ Thanks so much for stopping by and participating in the linkup again this week! xo
