to the 1940 California State Fair! This vintage fair program features colorful artwork and a map of the fairgrounds, giving us a glimpse into what fairgoers experienced more than 80 years ago. 😁

The California State Fair lasted just 11 days in 1940. Today, the Fair runs for 17 days, which means even more food, exhibits, entertainment, and fun for everyone to enjoy! 😋

While we wish we could travel back in time to experience the 1940 Fair, we also Wish You Were Here with us this year. Join us July 17 - August 2 for 17 days of unforgettable California State Fair memories! 🎡

Do you have a favorite Fair memory, vintage photo, or Throwback Thursday idea? We'd love to see it! Share your photos and suggestions in the comments or send them our way for a chance to be featured in a future throwback post!
