Exhibits at the OC Fair
The exhibits at the OC Fair are unique and exciting to see. Some of the many exhibits located throughout the fairgrounds include fine arts, photography, Kofu Kai bonsai, floral, jewelry, woodworking, and sculpture. These exhibits are filled with masterpieces that are submitted by young adults, adults, and professionals. The livestock are another aspect of exhibits that many find fascinating. There are pigs, chickens, cattle, goats, and an organic garden to explore. One of the more popular livestock attractions is the pig race. The pigs race around a small track, though some get distracted, it is oddly hilarious to watch.
