I took my son at 4 months and my daughter at 3 weeks. And they haven't missed a fair since. But I would never have attempted it alone. You are a brave, brave woman.

It's small enough to see everything in one day, there's an Amtrak Station RIGHT THERE (so you don't have to drive, but it's actually an easy drive on the 126) and best of all -- the Fairgrounds are ON THE BEACH. No dust, no dry heat -- just nice ocean breezes. Next time, go to the Ventura County Fair.

That was a funny post. But, also taking it as a warning. Our five-year-old g.daughter is begging to go to the county fair here. Florida -- there's probably pink cows here. I'm not so sure I want to find out. Holy Cow — or is it heifer? That was a funny post. But, also taking it as a warning. Our five-year-old g.daughter is begging to go to the county fair here.

I had this brain wave last school holidays also. Hubby was working... kids were going stir crazy and I was talking to the walls. We don't have "fairs" like you guys do. But there was the big Kids Day Out. I figured we could go play all day and they would come home all worn out. Without boring you witless, lets just say the rides cost me a house deposit, the kids were utter monsters and I considered trying to suffocate myself in the cotton candy machine. NEVER EVER AGAIN am I leaving this house with these kids unless I have:- * a cattle prod * a loudhailer * a GPS tracking locater implanted in both of them * a 6'4" husband to wrangle the lil shits for me Save a bong hit for me :) Is it mean that I’m laughing so hard that my ribs hurt?
