<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1494364, member: 16948&quot;]Back at home, my hubby was waiting for me since we had tickets to a&nbsp; concert at the Orange County Fair that evening.&nbsp; My all-time favorite&nbsp; band is U2 and we had tickets to see The Joshua Tree, a U2 tribute&nbsp; band.&nbsp; We arrived at the fair a little early so we could catch some of&nbsp; the fantastic exhibits which are typical at most fairs.&nbsp; So here are&nbsp; some of the sites at the OC Fair.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the yummy heart-stopping food booths</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02438.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02440.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Some rides</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02437.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20120721-02436.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02458.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02443.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02446.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Food Exhibits</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02455.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02452.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02451.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02450.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02449.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A very cool model airplane exhibit</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02448.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02447.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Really cool old appliances</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02453.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I had one of these when I was a little girl!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02454.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just a couple of some very amazing photographs – look carefully at this photo of a simple wave – WOW!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02456.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02457.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then it was time for the concert at The Hanger – which has very good acoustics so the sound quality is amazing!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02439.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There is a neat short video tribute to our troops just before the concert begins</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02460.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02468.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then the concert began – they opened with “I Still Haven’t Found What&nbsp; I’m Looking For” and walked all around the audience as they sang the&nbsp; song.&nbsp; Even though the lead singer had a funky wig to make him look more&nbsp; like an early Bono – their vocals and music was amazing and&nbsp; fantastic!!!!&nbsp;&nbsp; We thoroughly enjoyed the entire concert!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/CentralCoast-20120721-02462.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>About halfway through, they changed their clothes to look more like the&nbsp;

the sound quality from my cell phone video doesn’t do the music&nbsp; justice, so I apologize for that.&nbsp; I can assure you, the music was&nbsp; really well done!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aehYWC7jXr8&amp;feature=plcp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aehYWC7jXr8&amp;feature=plcp" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aehYWC7jXr8&amp;feature=plcp</a></p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBdm7lRvvkc&amp;feature=plcp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBdm7lRvvkc&amp;feature=plcp" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBdm7lRvvkc&amp;feature=plcp</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So that’s it folks – thank you for taking the time to read my reports.&nbsp;
