The Alameda County Fair opened Friday with up to 500,000 people expected to attend the event at the fairgrounds in Pleasanton.
"It looks like there are more people at least coming in. I've not seen it that busy when it's first open," Julie Hayashi of Fremont said as she and her husband entered with a long line of people when the gates opened at noon.The theme this year is red, white, and blue and organizers have new attractions.One is a Foodie Contest, where people can vote for their favorite fair food, whether it's the new foot and a half long corn dogs, bacon-wrapped pizza, or new Spam fries.
"For the cold-blooded, there's also a tent full of reptiles, giving people chances to pet alligators and see snakes close up."We have probably about 20 species of reptiles. Anywhere from bald pythons, we have reptile boas," Jerry Miller of Brad's World Reptiles said. "It's an educational purpose. it gives people a chance to get closer to the animal with us instead of going out in the wild.
