Labor Day weekend kicks off the month long LA County Fair. Luminasia a walk through area of whimsical Chinese Lanterns will illuminate the fair again this year in the evenings. Eye Spy LA thought this looked very cool and so the team experienced it last year and was not disappointed.  The fair can be expensive so make sure you check out all the available promotions that are offered this year.

Steering the Mark Twain! by Charles Phoenix


 
 

Behold the glory of the Mark Twain, the prettiest paddle wheeler on the planet. Divine in every Dixie detail, it's the ultimate old-timey attraction in Disneyland's Frontierland and has been since the day it was launched, 60 years ago. Here, you see it in 1957.

Over the years, I've boarded that beauty more times than I can remember, and enjoyed that round-the-island journey enough times to have gone down the entire Mississippi river at least once.

So, what a surprise it was when I heard you could actually "drive" the Mark Twain, and then get a certificate that says "I drove the Mark Twain," or something like that.
