the Whaddup:

The Fair began in 1875, when the main focus was horse racing. I’d guess, because there were lots of betting folks around town and someone thought it was a way to bring in some cash. The tradition continues with the 140th Ventura County Fair, “A Country Fair with Ocean Air”, except now they’re selling fried stuff and offering great music and rides!

Children 5 years of age and under and Super Seniors (100 years of age and older) are admitted free.
