History of Ventura County Fair & Seaside Park
The first Ventura County Fair was held in 1874. Prior to being
held at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, it was held at Pierpont Bluffs and Hueneme, with the fair initially being held in October, rather than August. In the early years, the main attraction was horse racing. In the 1970s, there was a plan to move the fair to Camarillo, CA but that never happened. The fair attracts more than 300,000 visitors each year.

I'm hoping to go on Tuesday, August 6th because it's not only SENIOR DAY but it is the day for the disabled (like me) as well. I just need to get a wheelchair for this day.
