After a BIG Weekend the Final Week of the CA State Fair is Filled with Don't Miss Moments
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) - The California State Fair has come off of a busy weekend which saw sold out parking lots and jam-packed Fairgrounds. Part of that was due to the success of the CA State Fair's first-ever youth mariachi competition, which was also the first statewide competition held in northern California, and had members of the Latino Caucus and Mexican Consulate in attendance. Now, the Fair is getting ready for an even busier final week.
