The fair on a budget
Even though there are lots of free things to do, it can be hard to resist the rides and the food. With a little planning, you can do it all on the cheap.Β
Here are some ideas.
- Kids — kindergarten through eighth grade — can earn three free carnival rides by reading three books and writing a brief summary. Go online to pimacountyfair.com to download the forms. To receive ride passes, bring the filled out form to guest services.
- Hit up the Dominos Pizza stands for $5 mega slices of pizza for food. It's quite a bit cheaper than some of the other stands.
- Share food or eat a meal before going and splurge on a dessert or snack.
