150 head of cattle make their way through the Fairgrounds
Don’t know how many of you city slickers knew this, but we had a Cattle Drive. No, really we did.
There were a hundred or so cows, some horses and real live cowpokes. They walked them all around the Fairgrounds. From the Del Mar Arena to the east parking lot, around the race track and in front of the Heineken Grandstand Stage.
Now you are wondering “How did I miss that?” Well Buckaroos, I’m here to tell ya. We did it this morning, Monday, June 28. Yup, that’s why you missed it. We were closed. Side note: We will be open next Monday July 5.
Is this a great place to work or what? Now work with me here. How many people get paid to go to work and put on “out of the corral” stuff like cattle drives? Not to mention doing them on days we are closed? Side note#2: We will be open next Monday, July 5.
Sometimes I think management should charge us admission to work here. I hear it was a good time had by all. It was a little too early for this “sidewinder.” However, you may want to consider this. There is a non-confirmed rumor that the “king of anything and everything deep fried,” was spotted following this bovine parade with wheel barrow and shovel. So, keeping that in mind, when you come to the fair this week – Side note #3: we will be open next Monday, July 5 - and you notice “new item” hastily scribbled on a menu board, go ahead and “Taste the Fun!”…I dare you.
