Summer Photo Contest
08.01.11
Are you getting the picture that this year's OC Fair is all about eating? We’re asking Greer’s OC readers who attend the "Let's Eat!"-themed fair this year to shoot pics of their favorite foods. Whether it be deep-fried Kool-Aid, deep-fried brownies, deep-fried Girl Scout cookies, or tried and true deep fried butter, we want to see what you’re eating. So send your OC Fair pic to Gretchen at gretchen@pacific-creative.digital and we'll post them on our Facebook page. Please make sure to include your name, date the photo was taken and a brief description.
We will be picking winners through the duration of the Fair so keep sending in pictures!
The Fair is open Wednesday to Sunday through Aug. 24. The OC Fair & Event Center is off the 405 and 55 freeways at 88 Fair Drive in Costa Mesa. For more information, visit ocfair.com.
