Crowning Miss San Luis Obispo, San Luis Obispo County Fair

Fair season is a time to suspend the normal rules.
Go ahead, wear high heels with a swim suit.
Have a rock concert in a rodeo arena.
Stand in line for just about everything.
Wear clean white pants while leading around livestock.
See livestock that are groomed better than one or more spectators.
Deep fry twinkies, and sell lots of ‘em.
Some traditions are older than others but wouldn’t be the fair without these moments.
Last chance at a real fair corn-dog is this weekend at the Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles.
What fair moment do you look forward to each year?
