This year's theme is packed with nostalgia
By noon Wednesday, the June gloom had burnt off and a long line had already formed for midway ride tickets at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. More than a few were likely digesting corn dogs and funnel cakes as they queued for the Defender, a towering stretch of steel that flings its riders through the air on the ends of a massive crossbar like a windmill built to spin out daredevil screams.
Proprietors Sean and Charity Rocha of Phoenix hedged their bets, offering boba tea in a bewildering assortment of flavors, and the colorful drinks seemed to be moving more quickly than the salty meat in the first few hours of this newly minted fair season. But Sean Rocha said he knows that Spam will be a hit. After all, you don't bring something like this to the San Diego County Fair, the largest single event on this nomadic food company's calendar, without doing a little research first.
