The Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival, February 15-24

By Tim Kennedy

The Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival, February 15-24, is just around the corner with ten days of spectacular entertainment and activities!

Headliner entertainment for 2008 has an exciting line-up, including LeAnn Rimes, Los Tiranos del Norte, Blues Traveler, Heart, and SuperFiesta featuring Gerardo Fernandez and Banda Novillos. Mid-week entertainment includes Seniors' Karaoke Singing Contest, tributes to the McGuire Sisters, the Herman Orchestra, the Beatles, and the Beach Boys!

Don't miss great shows like Monster Trucks, Fiesta Del Charro, Bull-O-Rama, Freestyle Motorcycles, Demolition Derby and the hilarious Camel & Ostrich Races! As usual, the Nightly Musical Pageant is a must see with a talented cast of singers and dancers in dazzling regalia; it is no surprise that the show attracts such large crowds all ten days of the Fair.

There are plenty of date booths that will be selling your favorite dates - from stuffed with chocolate, coconut or nuts to the good ol' plain date - you have to try some! If it's a warm afternoon try a mouth-watering date shake!

The Fair has new and old favorites for everyone to come and enjoy. Mark your calendars for February 15-24, 2008 because the Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival is something you will not want to miss. For more information visit www.datefest.org or call 1-800-811-FAIR.
