the history of the orange county fair
Shortly after Orange County was created in 1889, the Orange County Community Fair Corporation was formed. This group put on a small fair in 1890 that included a horse race and a few exhibits in Santa Ana. In 1894, another group, the Orange County Fair Association, Inc., took over The first Orange County Fairs were primarily livestock exhibitions and horse races. At the turn of the century, a “carnival of products” was added and the Fair became an annual event. In ensuing years, the Fair was held in Santa Ana, but after World War I it was moved to Huntington Beach for two years and then back to temporary grounds on East Fruit Street in Santa Ana. In 1916, the Fair was taken over by the newly organized Orange County Farm Bureau. The first OC Fair Board was elected in 1925 and the Fair re-
located to Anaheim, across the street from the Orange County Hospital. In 1925, a rodeo and carnival were added to the Fair. OC Fair Clowns After World War II, the state formed the 32nd District Agricultural Association and made it responsible for the Fair. The state
then purchased land occupied by the Santa Ana Army Air Base and some of it was earmarked for a new fairground. The Fair was first held at the new site in 1949 and it soon was designated as the permanent Fairgrounds. In 1953, the City of Costa Mesa was incorporated - the new
city included the Fair’s location. From 1949 to the present, the OC Fair has grown from a small, community, fiveday celebration to a 23-day festival that is one of Orange County’s most eagerly awaited annual events.

LOCAL DENTIST MICHAEL TESSIER REVEALS SECRET WAYS TO SAVING YOUR TEETH Each one of your teeth is anchored in a socket in the bone. Each tooth is suspended or anchored in its own socket by ligaments. The gum tissue attaches to the tooth at the top of the socket. If one gets food or plaque stuck between or around the teeth, the gums can become sore and inflamed, bleeding by just the touch of a toothbrush. Just like getting a sliver stuck underneath a fingernail. This inflammation can cause that attachment of the gums to the tooth to deteriorate. This deterioration starts at the gum-line, in the form of a pocket. As that pocket deepens, it will extend into and erode the bone. Eventually, the boney support for the tooth will be gone, and the tooth will fall out. When we dentists or dental hygienists discover this condition, we can perform what is called a laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP) to reattach gums to the tooth. This laser kills the bacteria that exists in the bone, allowing the bone to regenerate. It also creates access for the hygienist to deep clean those pockets, scraping the calculus off the sides of the tooth way below the gum-line. Sometimes we place an antibiotic deep into that pocket, furthering eradication of bacteria. The procedure allows the gum tissue to reattach to the tooth. Before the development of our new laser, the periodontal treatment was painful or uncomfortable, involving scalpels, scraping the gums off the underlying . Our new laser technique is much less invasive, and your recovery is now almost totally painless (hard-to-believe, but true). While many of my patients call me the pain-free dentist, I’m happy to be of help in helping you to save your precious teeth and at the same time making your dental experience a comfortable one.

1st Annual “Wine & Dine” Benefit for Laura’s House Nets $15,000 Overlooking the Golf Course at Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach, around 100 guests were treated to culinary delights and tastings of wines from wine-growing regions throughout California all to benefit Laura’s House, a nonprofit whose mission is to change the social beliefs, attitudes and behaviors that perpetuate domestic violence. The 1st Annual Wine & Dine event was a successful hit where guests dressed in “summer chic” attire. They were treated to an array of gourmet delights as they perused the silent auction Wine Wall, tasted wine selections from more than 30 wineries situated throughout California’s wine growing regions, and received expert advice on choosing wines from Master Sommelier Steve Poe, of Big Canyon Country Club. “We are very excited that our first annual ‘Wine & Dine’ event was such a great success, and we are thankful to those who joined us for a beautiful evening in Newport Beach,” said Margaret Bayston, CEO and Executive Director, Laura’s House. “The event helped us raise the much needed funds we need to support the programs and services for families who are impacted by domestic violence, while shining a light on this issue that affects so many individuals throughout the Orange County community.” Among the items featured on the gourmet menu for the 1st Annual Wine & Dine event were a selection of passed hors d’oeuvres including braised cocktail meatballs with Manchego cheese, pine nuts and spicy tomato sauce, and truffle and goat cheese beignets. Stationed menu items included imported and domestic cheese display with charcuteries, dried cranberries, peaches and walnuts; panzanella salad; asparagus, mushroom, parmesan and Italian sausage risotto; smoked scallop sliders with lime, arugula, greens and citrus aioli; open-faced prosciutto and Jarlsberg “Sandwich” with Granny Smith apples and watercress on rustic bread; goat cheese stuffed peppadew peppers with chimichurri sauce; Mexican bay shrimp cocktail with avocado and lime in an Asian spoon. The silent auction included wine tastings and tour experiences for Giracci Vineyards & Farms, Newport Beach Vineyards & Winery and AmByth Estate; a Wine Dinner at Canaletto Newport Beach; and, a Wine Wall including more than 100 bottles of wine from the Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, Paso Robles and other wine growing regions around the world. Proceeds from the 1st Annual Wine & Dine event will be used support the programs and services that Laura’s House provides to families that are impacted by domestic violence throughout Orange County and beyond. Over the past eighteen years, Laura’s House has provided residential shelter and support services to nearly 3,500 families, and counseling, life skills education and legal assistance to over 40,000 individuals. The mission of Laura’s House is to change the social beliefs, attitudes and the behaviors that perpetuate domestic violence while creating a safe space in which to empower individuals and families affected by abuse.

GEAR UP FOR A LITTLE GUITAR ALONG WITH YOUR ORCHESTRA Enjoy “Spanish Nights and American Flair” in Irvine (for the first time in the Great Park), Lake Forest and Mission Viejo, plus pre-concert entertainment including Musical Playground for kids; and a food drive Featuring guitar ensemble Triada, the program includes light Spanish-flavored and American pops and classical tunes, plus popular patriotic songs Grab a lawn chair, pack a picnic and head to a nearby park for an evening of free outdoor music and entertainment when Pacific Symphony’s 2012 Target Symphony in the Cities (SITC) concert series celebrates summer with a mix of American and Spanish music (and more)! For the eighth year in a row, Target returns as the title sponsor for this popular event, which attracts thousands of people annually to parks throughout Orange County. This year’s concerts, “Spanish Nights and American Flair,” led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, take place in three cities: Mission Viejo’s Oso Viejo Park (July 28), Irvine’s Orange County Great Park (July 29) and Lake Forest’s Pittsford Park (Aug. 19). Featuring the popular guitar group Triada, the program offers light, Spanish-infused classical and pop music by Rodrigo and
Bizet, favorite patriotic songs and a little Tchaikovsky for good measure. For more information about these concerts, call (714) 755-5799 or visit PacificSymphony. org/SITC. “To complement our traditional Target Symphony in the Cities patriotic singalong, marches and, of course, the unforgettable moment when the children help me conduct the concert, we are pleased to offer an evening of Spanish-influenced music!” says Music Director Carl St.Clair. “From the sizzling overture to Bizet’s beloved opera ‘Carmen’ and the dances of the Farandole, to the famous Triada guitar quartet, we will have the audience smiling and tapping their toes! It will be another great time under our beautiful California summer sky!” For this evening of cool American favorites and hot Latin rhythms, the Symphony welcomes the brilliant guitar ensemble Triada, which combines the unique talents of Bulgarian brothers Nikola, Petar and Vasil and their sister Petya Chekardzhikov. Individually, the family members are virtuoso guitarists and their intuitive sense of synergy makes their performances appealing and unique. Triada tackles Latin-flavored gems such as Farandole from
“L’Arlesienne,” Suite No. 2 and tasty morsels from Bizet’s alluring “Carmen.” The audience is also treated to Triada performing a special arrangement of Rodrigo’s “Concierto andaluz” for four guitars. Plus, the concert includes selections from Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker,” John Philip Sousa’s rousing “Hands Across the Sea,” a salute to our armed forces and a patriotic sing-along. All concerts get underway at 7 p.m., with the Symphony’s pre-concert Musical Playground, featuring many interactive and hands-on activities for children (including making an instrument, playing in a drum circle, visiting an instrument petting zoo and meeting Symphony musicians) beginning at 5:30 p.m. (in Irvine and Lake Forest); Mission Viejo’s “Prelude in the Park,” begins at 4 p.m. and offers an array of pre-concert festivities, with the Symphony’s Musical Playground beginning at 4:30 p.m. Prior to the concert—and back by popular demand—children are invited to take part in a conducting workshop led by Maestro St.Clair at 6:45 p.m., in preparation for assisting him lead Sousa’s “Hands Across the Sea” during the concert. Also, fourth- and fifth-grade students from Santa Ana Summer
Strings (a new violin program that is the result of a partnership between Pacific Symphony, Santa Ana Unified School District and the academic support program, THINK Together) are providing pre-concert entertainment at the Great Park. Attendees are encouraged to pack a few cans of food along with their picnic and help support neighbors in need. Look for donation barrels in each park: in Mission Viejo, South County Outreach in partnership with the City of Mission Viejo is planning to be on hand to accept donations; at the Great Park and in Lake Forest, Orange County Food Bank is accepting donations.
