A DAY AT THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY FAIR 2022
On this day (June 2022), I explored the San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in California. After being closed for almost two years because of the COVID-19 and following a contract bidding dispute, the San Diego County Fair is completely back in 2022. The Fair is open from June 8 through July 4, however, is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, except for on the Fourth of July. The concept for this year is "Heroes Reunite" which is the first full-fledged fair since the coronavirus pandemic started, celebrating the fair's near-return to pre-pandemic fanfare. This day consisted of walking around the County Fair and enjoying some food.
