Taste of LA County Fair's Food 2015! Now through 9/27!

It's that time of year again. The sights, sounds, and smells of the Los Angeles County Fair are back again in Pomona starting on Friday, September 4th and runs through the 27th. One thing that always keep people coming back year after year (besides the rides, attractions, and furry critters) is the food! The kind of food that makes some of us feel guilty, but we do it anyway. Yesterday, I went to check out some of the Fair Favorites and sampled a few new ones. Here are a few of my top picks!

Catheryn's Top Picks at the LA Fair

Chicken Charlie is your one stop shop for everything you can imagine Fried. They also fry up things that you didn't even know COULD be fried like Fried Guacamole or Fried Slim Fast Bar. For a non-fried option, try their Teriyaki Chicken Pineapple Bowl. It's super tender and not over-marinated. I highly recommend it!

So Ricco's Italian Ice has these amazingly delicious drinks made with real fresh fruits and veggies. Above is the Mango Michelagua with a chili rim. It's the drink to get at the LA County Fair! Additional flavors are strawberry, watermelon, and my other two favorites - pineapple with spinach and cucumber all with the chili rim. They will also be offering Chamoyeadas which are shaved ice cups filled with syrups and chili. So good on a hot day at the Fair right?

Russia’s Mariinsky Ballet, one of the world’s most important and historically rich dance companies, opens the Segerstrom's 30th Season with RAYMONDA. Performing with the Mariinsky Orchestra, this will be the company’s eighth visit to the Center and the first time this masterpiece from the Golden Age of Russian classical ballet. RAYMONDA has been called the “last grand ballet” of the 19th century. The choreography by Marius Petipa to Alexander Glazunov’s atmospheric and dramatic score is filled with dazzling solos and beautiful duets. The ballet is set in medieval Hungary and tells the story of a beautiful young noblewoman who is conflicted by her love for her betrothed, the crusader knight Jean de Brienne, and a handsome Saracen warrior.

FREE PREVIEW TALKS: Get more out of it, and go one hour early for Preview Talks. Here you will have the chance to meet Yuri Fateev, director of the Mariinsky Ballet. The Friday, September 25 Preview Talk will be sign-language interpreted.
