Description
Photograph of a view of the entrance to the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona, showing fair-goers and a large canvas-topped tent, ca.1925-1929. Fair-goers traverse the fore- and centergrounds, entering and exiting the fair. Other fair-goers sit, facing the activity, on benches around a group of hedges at the left of the image. A parked automobile sits in the right centerground, in front of a row of small palm trees. A large, canvas-topped tent sits in the right background, with flags at its peak and on its support posts. Another tent is visible in the background. Legible signs, from left to right, include: "Floral Display Straight Ahead", "See Selig Zoo. [?] See La Fresa Pheasantry", "Los Angeles County Fair Poultry Show. The Largest Fair Exhibition on the Pacific Coast", "Womens' Department Under Grandstand", and "Electric Shoe Shine [?]".
