Alameda County Fair officials have made adjustments to battle the triple-digit heat that continues through the Fourth of July holiday week.
They have added more mist and hydration stations, shaded areas to sit, and new schedules that have livestock shows starting in the cooler early morning hours.Families were out enjoying the Wednesday Dollar Day deal for roller coaster and other rides, which they said was a fun way to catch a breeze."I checked the temperature this morning. It was supposed to be 107 degrees, so I knew it was going to be a hot one.
"We've also gone in and we've added more misting stations throughout the property," Moore said.Daniella Cincera of San Ramon said the misting stations were great, and her family hopes the fair will increase the number of stations."I told them because it's so hot, I want to come back to the misters a couple of times a day," Cincera said, adding that it was worth it to attend the fair despite the heat."Time with family. It's a tradition.
