Getting Ready for the Fair

“The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone who thinks and feels with us, and who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It’s that time of year again – the annual Hometown Country Fair hosted by the Crescenta Valley Chamber of Commerce and Montrose Travel. The fair takes place at the beautiful Crescenta Valley Park, located at 3901 Dunsmore Ave. on Saturday, April 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

What can you expect at this year’s fair? Authentic Korean food, Armenian food, freshly grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and the Grilled Cheese Truck; and for dessert, King Kone and Frozen Crush. Many vendors will also be on hand including handbags, children’s boutiques, spas, fresh produce, sheets, jewelry and so much more! We will have musical entertainment featuring our local schools Mountain Avenue Elementary, Rosemont Middle School and Crescenta Valley High School. Other performers include EL Caminito Band, Revolution Dance Center, Misplaced Priorities and lots more throughout the day. And don’t forget about the dog parade at 2 p.m.! Got kids? They will love the Wildlife Waystation, the game booths, the rides and the sweets. Come spend a lovely spring afternoon at the Hometown Country Fair! Free admission.
