San Mateo County Fair

"Fleeced at the Fair"

I had a hard time enjoying the fair because everything was terribly overpriced.  Each ride was between $3 to $5.  Games were similarly priced.  This is after spending $20 to park the car and buy a ticket.

How can you get into the carnival spirit when your wallet is emptying faster than a bucket of candy?

IPlus, we saw the entire fair in about 3 hours.  There were only 2 rows of livestock, a small enclosure of chickens and rabbits, and 1 very lame pony ride.

Next time I need my fix of pig races, cotton candy, and carnival rides, I'll wait for the California State Fair.
