A Perfect Day at the Fair
Beneath a Chamber of Commerce picture perfect blue sky and ideal temperature, an estimated crowd of 5,000-6,000 parents, children, students, friends and just plain Fair lovers attended this year’s Hometown Country Fair last Saturday at Crescenta Valley Park. Check out this year’s participants … more than 50 vendor booths, five food trucks, a petting zoo, non-stop bounce rides, a face painting/henna tattoo artist, YMCA pedal spin and children’s GAGA pit, the Pasadena Humane Wiggle Waggle Wagon pet adoption, CV High School jazz band and Rosemont Middle School cheer, amazing stage entertainment from the Korean American Federation, a dog parade and pie eating contest, “The Donut Guy” (who gave out raffle prizes and 1,000 delicious Krispy Kreme donuts), CV robotics and the Scouts’ Pinewood Derby demonstrations, first responders from Glendale Police, California Highway Patrol, CV Sheriff, LA County Fire, and Montrose Search & Rescue, live music throughout the day from the park’s mobile stage and dignitaries Supervisor Kathryn Barger, State Senator Anthony Portantino, Glendale Mayor Ardy Kassakhian, Glendale Councilmember Paula Devine, Glendale Police Chief Carl Povilaitis, CV Sheriff Captain Robert Hahnlein, and Los Angeles County Parks Regional Manager Joyce Gibson! The 16th Annual Hometown Country Fair was the most successful one of all!

Emergency Preparedness Tip:
Always plan and be prepared for the unexpected. Keep a list of emergency numbers and family contacts near your phone. Have a five-to–seven day supply of water and cash available for emergency use. Have flashlights available throughout your home and assess your supply of batteries every three months. Review emergency exits with all family members. Learn CPR . . . don’t wait!
