The exhibits, animals and deep fried goodness return this
week with the opening of the 90th annual LA County Fair. The
confections and carnival rides continue from Friday, August 31, through Sunday,
September 30.
Claremonters are welcome to take part in a special Claremont
Day Celebration held on Thursday, September 20. All Claremont residents will be
able to enter the fairgrounds for free from 12 to 6 p.m. with a donated pair of
new or gently used shoes or a new package of socks. Before or after those times,
admission can be obtained for $5 by visiting www.lacountyfair.com/online
and entering the “claremont2” promotion code.
Locals Tony Marino, Randy Prout and McKenna Maglio will be
honored that day as this year’s Claremont Community Heroes. Their
accomplishment will be recognized with a special community reception at 3:30
pm. at the Millard Sheets Center for the Arts and a salute at 5:30 p.m. on the
Expo Hall 4 Stage. A special parade will also take place at 5 p.m.
