Sunday marked the final day of the Alameda County Fair, and it's been hot for fairgoers this year. High temperatures didn't stop hundreds of people from making their way to the Alameda County Fair, enjoying the traditional fair foods like turkey legs and slushies."Yes, I get the big ol' turkey leg because I'm from Texas and they say it's a Texas-sized turkey leg. Everything is bigger in Texas, even the heat," said Tanya Thomas attending the fair.
From umbrellas to covered wagons, and even a few spritz fans, folks had lots of ways to stay cool:"Something like a smoothie, something that's desirable and people see it and say 'Where'd you get that from,'" said fairgoer Carlos Thomas.Organizers suggested fairgoers come out during the evening hours if they are more sensitive to high temperatures. Still, many folks braved the fair during the day, saying it’s a part of their tradition.
