*100 Years of the Los Angeles County Fair, 25 Years of Stories * contains virtually everything David Allen has penned about the fair from 1998 to 2021. Columns, feature stories, concert reviews, previews of the fair, short items, a blog post, even a news story about a lawsuit. It's all here.

This book takes the approach that the Los Angeles County Fair - via these stories of people, attractions, concert lineups, pricing, sights, sounds and smells - is worth documenting. Because even if nearly all of the particulars have come and gone, the last quarter-century of the fair is worth setting down in detail.

You'll find a lot of fun stories, some silliness, a few changes noted as they were happening, moments that may bring back memories, elegies for elements now lost.

Also, a lot of jokes about foods on a stick.
