mmm-yoso!!! is a blog about food consumed by those of us who write about our adventures surrounding the consumption. Lately, you have been reading about Kirk's China vacation- family, sights and food He and His missus enjoyed. Today He is taking a break. Cathy is writing.
Hi. The 2010 San Diego County Fair will be opening tomorrow, June 11. Once again , I have a behind the scenes look into the set up and what you can expect to see and enjoy this year.
The theme this year is "Taste the fun" and the front gate proclaims this to everyone entering. Don Diego is wearing a tasteful apron embroidered with the Official Fair Logo.
Of course, you know from my prior posts, that I consider the "heart of the fair" to be the Home and Hobby section. Because the origin of County Fairs was for the farmers to show off the fruits of their labor.
This year is no exception, and the entries were submitted for judging a few weeks ago. Spinning and weaving. 
Quilts.
Various crafts. Collections.
Of course, Preserved foods. I have shown and explained to you the judging of Preserved Foods in prior years and will skip that this year. Let's just say that this year (as you can see on the above entry table areas) there were more than 70 jellies for a single judge, as well as more than 70 jams for another judge and then a few other judges shared canned fruits, vegetables, dried foods, marmalades, conserves, preserves, pickles, relishes, salsas, honeys, syrups, vinegars and (new this year) liqueurs which left all of the judges pretty tired of craving much sweet or canned anything and wanting fresh vegetables and protein packed foods for quite a few days after judging. {The top liqueur has won "Best in Show" for the Preserved Food category.} 
Once judged, the items are set up on display, and this is what you will see.
But I suppose you are interested in what delights the food vendors are offering this year…
So I am just going to show you some of the booths which are set up. 
These are more or less the 'usual' ones.
The Health Smart menu on this booth has me intrigued…
Because I will be eating items from this stand…
and this one. All for the sake of mmm-yoso!!!
Again this year there are discounted tickets at the local Albertson's, you can get in free if you enter one of the daily contests and there are free parking lots nearby, with bus service directly to the gate. For more information, see the Official San Diego County Fair website
