The annual event continues through July 4 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds
The weather was gloomy and gray, but smiles were bright and spirits high as hundreds of people lined up Wednesday morning outside the gates for opening day at the 2023 San Diego County Fair.
Under gray skies, a large crowd arrived for opening day at the San Diego County Fair on June 7, 2023. The guy who arrived first — just before 10 a.m. for the fair’s 11 a.m. opening — seemed stunned that there was no one in front of him. He declared that he was a “low-profile, behind-the-scenes kind of guy” and handed over the honor of being first to someone who arrived a few minutes later.
Hot Dog on a Stick was the best job ever, Damron said. They got paid, they got free soda and good quality hot dogs, and every 30 minutes or so they would get a break to walk around the fair for a while.
