“A wonderful time was had by all!”

Attended the 2011 El Dorado County Fair and enjoyed not only the 4H animals, but also the entertainment which was included in the price of admission. The bathrooms were very clean and well supplied. We had such a good time, we are planning on coming back for this years fair, June 14-17! More

“El Dorado County Fairgrounds”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Typical fairgrounds, rides, food stands, they have a museum on site which is cool. They also allow people to lease time in their covered arena for their horses, especially useful during bad weather. More
