California's Golden Fairs

Alameda County Fair (1x9)

Air date: May 26, 2011

Huell visits the Alameda County Fair which originated in 1859 in downtown Oakland as a Floral Fair. The first modern-day Fair in Pleasanton began in 1912, and has been held annually (with the exception of the war years) ever since. The Fair's racetrackis the oldest one-mile horse racing track in America, dating back to 1858 and is still a highlight of this award-winning fair.
