Los Angeles County Fair


Sunday we went to the L.A. County Fair. We went because we like a day at a fair and we wanted to see my friend Celia and her husband Joby. They have a booth there. Celia met us at the parking of the fair's administration building and gave us; entrance tickets, parking ticket, a map and a fair booklet. She, made sure to have us set up for a good day at the fair. She is such a sweet friend!




Once in the fair there was so much to see. Following is a general account of our day at the fair;
-One of the first booths we went to was a Mola booth. I was surprise to see Molas there! Molas are handmade crafts, native Cuna(Kuna) work from Panama, the land where I was born.
-Amor found a leader wallet that works for him for a good price(he has been needing a new one for years, the one he has now is falling apart).
-We spent some time in the Home and Garden area looking for ideas for our backyard(it is still not landscaped).
-We ate lunch(a bit greasy lunch).
-Went to a live horse racing(our first time ever). As the horses were out on the track warming up for the race, Amor chose number 4 and I chose number 7. It was neat to be there seeing all the people with the anticipation of the race. The race finally started. We were surprised at how fast the horses were running! The ambulance that was following them could hardly keep up with the horses. The winner was number 7, I could not believe it! My horse wan! How lucky is that? I should have bet real money. Maybe next time :-)
-We went to Celia's and Jobby's booth, The Wildflower Seed Company. They gave us a gift from their booth, they are such sweet friends :-) They were busy with customer and we had a lot more to cover so we only visited with them for about 5 minutes.
-We saw a Chinese gymnastic show. It was a great show! Thank you Celia for the recondition.
-Amor got himself a pair of Shoemate Orthotics for his flat feet (he has been needed some for a long time). I got a pair of Hydropedes Glycering filled insoles. I used them right away and they worked well. My feet were happy the rest of the day. It is just what I need it.
-We got ourselves some Aroma Sensations These are oils with a variety of aromas that can be use to help relieve specific symptoms.
-We spent the rest of the day at The Big Red Barn seeing the animals. We saw all kinds of animals and their babies including some huge pigs. I don't know what they do to grow them so big and fat. We were also able to catch the end of a baby lamb being born.

At this time it was already dark and we were tired and hungry. We went back to Celia's and Joby's booth and shared about our day and thank them for everything. It was great to see them. They are such cool friends! We had a great day at the fair. I think we'll do it again next year.
