[1]Main Exhibit Hall
The OC Fair wasn’t always host to giant $2 million shows [2] or an exhibit hall-turned-”As Seen On TV” playroom.
The fair used to (*gasp*) showcase the surrounding cities that make up the county. Here we see Tustin’s “Farm Center” and a little special appearance by San Diego County. Times were a little less “in your face” back then. But they still loved comics, though probably not as much as we do. [3]
But this was 50 years ago, 1949.
