Sacramento County Fair 2019: Family, Fun, and Fabulous Food

Today is opening day for the 83rd consectuive Sacramento County Fair. That means monster trucks, bull riding, farm animals, pony rides, camel rides, street musicians, hypnotists, puppet shows, jugglers, livestock, comedians, a petting zoo, friend food, circus acts, entertainment and shows, live music, midway rides, shopping, and more are rolling into town for a weekend of fun.

The Sacramento County Fair runs May 23-27, 2019 at the CalExpo Fairgrounds near Arden Fair Mall.

I know lots of people are all about the California State Fair, which also happens at CalExpo, but I LOVE the Sacramento County Fair because it’s way less overwhelming, it’s got a local vibe, and it’s smaller and totally doable in one day. Plus, while I could spend the whole day in the Midway hopping from ride to ride, OMG… the food is where it’s at.

Broadway’s STOMP in Sacramento

STOMP is finally at Broadway Sacramento for its 25th Anniversary National Tour and you have to see it! Through the dance and music, I was in awe the entire time. The show is unique, captivating, comical, full of energy, and entertaining for everyone who attends. Any every day item from brooms, inner tubes, garbage cans, plastic bags, and even just the actor’s bodies are utilized to create incredible percussion and the famed “Rhythm of New York.”

Bourn To Be Wild

Welcome to the wild side.

On this vacation, my family and I got to experience the best zoo in the world… the San Diego Zoo. We went with my Aunt Julie, Uncle Dustin, and my cousins Riley and Chloe to have a fun time together. I thought that this zoo was beyond amazing. The animals were so interesting and fun to look at. We saw animals like different types of monkeys and apes, flamingos, kolas, giraffes, gazelles, polar bears, and my all time favorite, the elephants. If I told you about every animal they have, this post would never end. At every animal sanctuary, I learned something new about it.

At Elephant Odyssey (the elephant habitat) there were life-size statues of them that you could take pictures with. Of course we did, but I was waiting for the real thing. There was also a really cute shrub cut to look like an elephant. I even bought 2 elephant necklaces and a mini, beaded,  elephant statue (because I have a collection)! I never wanted to leave the beautiful elephants, but eventually we had to make it to all of the other animals.
