CAL EXPO Show and Shine Tour

I received updated information from the State Fair coordinator, and he said we will be going into the fair at 9:30 am, not 9:45 am as previously announced.

Arrive: Friday July 18, 9:15 am

Where: Old Kohl’s parking lot (1896 Arden Way, Sacramento) behind the Black Bear Dinner

What to bring: folding chairs, water, sunscreen, snacks, and whatever will make your day at the fair more enjoyable

Please remember as many people that can fit in your car will be admitted free to the fair. Once inside, you do not need to stay with your car and are free to wander around and enjoy everything the fair has to offer.

A special event at the fair this year are the Clydesdales!  They will be coming into the area where the cars will be parked around 3pm.  At that time, you will have the option to leave or move your car to another area on the fairgrounds.  I understand the hitching up of these fabulous horses is a show in itself, so plan to stick around if you want to watch and to enjoy the fair into the evening.

As usual, everyone who fits into your Model A gets into the fair for free.  We will meet at Cinemark Century Arden 14 theater, located at 1590 Ethan Way, at 9:45 am and caravan into the fairgrounds at 10:00 am, with the day wrapping up around 4:00 pm.  We look forward to seeing you and having a good time at the fair! Come join the fun, promote our hobby, wander the exhibits and enjoy the fair food. Please bring your lawn chairs; you may bring your own food, soda and water. We hope to see you there.
