The 2022 San Diego County Fair-Heroes Reunite! (part 1)

mmm-yoso!!! is primarily a food blog.  This post (written by Cathy) does have many mentions of food with photos of menus, but no criticism because nothing to be sold at the Fair has yet been tasted. 

The front gate is ready!223C5027-4A3C-4359-9893-A38D7421FA8A The 2022 San Diego County Fair Officially opened yesterday.  It's been a long time since I wrote the 2019 San Diego County Fair initial post, the 'during the Fair' second post and wrap up post, because 2020 happened.DBFCBE71-8B52-4A2E-92B4-DEB18EA5AC21 The planned Theme was "Heroes Unite"; that Fair never happened.DBFCBE71-8B52-4A2E-92B4-DEB18EA5AC21 This year, the Theme is "Heroes Reunite".
F723E808-9E61-44C4-9155-9A91C72CA182 The Midway was still being set up earlier this week.  (You can see the Ferris Wheel way down there at the West end).
67B5FE17-361D-4636-883C-7381C2BFF7B3 There are quite a few areas around exhibits where you can take photos with Superheroes.
68B08CD5-9D2C-4BF9-8A67-4B05F801298C Some things have changed.  At the far West end of the Vendors Halls (next to Bing Crosby Hall), the new location of the Adult as well as Youth crafting, cooking and hobby exhibits has a new name- Home Made.

The "Heart of the Fair" -reasons we have State and County Fairs- has returned!
