I've been attending this fair off and on since it was originally called "The San Fernando Valley…read moreFair". It used to be held at Devonshire Downs in Northridge, CA, (next to CSUN), back in the late 80's. Anyone remember? I even had a photography vendor's booth there one year. For several years, at the various fair locations, I entered photographs as a professional exhibitor, and did quite well winning ribbons for my work. It was a lot of fun! When it was held at Devonshire Downs, it was a really cool fair with great music, food, art and crafts, and a wide array of interesting vendors. Then, suddenly CSUN needed the property to build on, and the fair lost it's somewhat "permanent home". It has struggled since then to find a place to "set up camp" yearly with a warm welcome extended. The promoters of the fair tried for several years to have it take place at Pierce College in Woodland Hills. That would have been an awesome location for the valley. But as I understood it, the neighboring community apparently fought against it thinking due to the alcohol being served and large crowds, it would become a nuisance to their neighborhood. Hey people- it's a 4-day once a year event! Get over it! The 1-night loud parties on your block are probably more annoying! They've held the fair over the years at the Burbank Equestrian Center, Hansen Dam in Lakeview Terrace, and the last event was held at the Saugus Speedway in 2008. I attended all of the past fairs at the various locations, but it just was never the same. I attended the 2008 Valley Fair in Saugus. It was quite disappointing. It lent itself to a low turnout and was small and very commercial. I felt the promoters could have done a better job with the sound stage area for the bands to perform, the overall ambiance, and for promoting the event in general. I went to the 2008 event in Saugus strictly for the music venue and to hopefully dance. There was no room to dance, unless you wanted to compete with the uncovered electrical cords all over the place, and the funny looks you got from the conservative folks that attended. How could you not want to dance to the "Bella Donna" band as the lead singer sang a beautiful tribute to Fleetwood Mac!!! And to the well known "Which One's Pink" (Pink Floyd tribute band) !!! Wake up people! I left very disappointed. Well...it's 2010...and "The Valley Fair "is returning to the San Fernando Valley June 17th thru June 20th at Birmingham High School in Van Nuys, with a decent line up for music. They have scheduled a Beatles tribute band to play on Thursday night and a Journey tribute on Friday night, as well as other bands and performers on Saturday and Sunday. I'm planning on attending. I hope they have the dance area ready for me! I hope this fair brings back the fond memories I have of the 80's at Devonshire Downs . And I hope the surrounding neighbors and valley community support the fair, by attending and giving it a chance. Oh, and I'm sure some of the Woodland Hills resident snobs will drive their Mercedes to check it out, when they could have just saved gas, gone green, walked around the block to attend, drank a few cold beers and stumbled home!

I love Supercar Sunday! My family has been coming year for years. I love that you get a real sense…read moreof community here and everyone I have interacted with, even on a minor level, has been so kind. The one thing is, you gotta get here EARLY. Like before 9am, before people start heading out. I really appreciate when companies like Porsche sponsor the day and bring out donuts for everyone. Such a nice touch! You'll see all kinds of cars here from classic muscle cars to modern day sports cars. If you are looking to buy, a lot of people are also selling. Lots of folks often pop up a chair by their car and are willing to answer any questions you have about it. It's a nice way to spend the morning! My ONE thing (not that the organizers can do anything about it I think?) is that I wish so badly a coffee cart would pop up here. Sometimes there is a food truck, but not a dedicated coffee biz. It's so early and I see so many people walking around with a Starbucks in hand, it's such a missed opportunity!

Currently they have two exhibitions going on - The Fast & The Furious cars and Flat Out Art of Joshua Vides. Both exhibits are great for the general public and not just for car aficionados. The museum as a whole is wonderfully designed. There are three main floors of exhibits and also a large underground parking area known as the vault. There are many cars to see from different eras and types. There's also a cafe/restaurant if you want to grab a bite to eat. Expect to spend about 2-3 hours to see everything. They have their own parking structure, which cost $25. If you purchase $75 in the gift shop, they waive the parking fee. Go and enjoy!

I brought my two daughters (12 and 14) to the Petersen Automotive Museum yesterday, and even though…read morethey weren't excited when I told them the plan that morning, the visit completely changed their minds. Within about ten minutes of walking in, they both admitted that the museum was actually really cool. The movie and TV cars were a huge hit. Seeing vehicles from Fast & Furious, Stranger Things, and other shows they recognized made everything instantly more fun. From there, they got pulled into the history, the rare models, and the stories behind each car. It turned into a full family adventure. We also had great conversations with several docents. They were incredibly knowledgeable and answered even the most random questions with enthusiasm. Their passion added so much to the experience. We spent around two and a half to three hours exploring, and it was absolutely worth the cost. Admission was about $50 per person and parking was $20, and honestly, I'd pay it again without hesitation. My daughters left smiling, talking about their favorite cars, and already asking what else the museum has. Fantastic visit. Highly recommend.

After the fiasco last weekend known as the "Awesometown Food Truck Festival" and seeing that Lardon…read morewas no longer on the list for Sunday was tempted to skip this. I saw that Jin N. checked in there on Saturday and dropped him a quick note asking how it was. He replied back with his recommendation that it was worth going to so we made the trip down. The event was scheduled to start at 11:30 and we found street parking a block away about 5 minutes after that. I was completely fearing the worst with the crowds and as we walked into the lot, there was maybe 30-40 other people there. Even when we left at 12:45 would have to say the worst line was 10 deep at the most and the majority of the trucks had lines that were 2 or 3 people deep. The trucks were set up in a "U" around the parking lot with lots of room and tables. There were a few trucks there that I had never seen before and really liked that we were able to talk with the owners. They loved the fact that my daughter was taking an interest in food and asked what we liked, didn't like and what we looked for when going to a truck. It felt like they were honestly looking for feedback instead of just having to throw something out the window to keep the lines mooving (get it, like a cattle call??) The crew from Wholly Rollers did a great job circulating to see that everyone was having a great experience which they should get kudos for! My only regret is that I didn't head down on Friday and Saturday nights as well!!! The next time they have an event, I'll be there as this is how a food truck festival should be set up and run!

[November 12th event]…read more First off, I just want to say that this was a really great experience. Props to Wholly Rollers Events for putting on a successful street food fest!! I missed the first event last month mainly by choice because I didn't eat so well the previous week so I figured it would be a bad idea to end it with more less than healthy food. My wife and I made it out to this one intending to limit ourselves to mostly small bites. We rolled up at about 7pm Friday and easily found valet parking right next door for $2. Even before we stepped into the parking lot, we could sense it was just the right atmosphere for gourmet food truck fans. Trucks were lined up on either side and at the end of the space with plenty of tables and chairs in the middle. DJ Kino was spinning good tunes. We noticed all walks of life there...from young, hip 20-somethings to families with young kids. Security guards kept things in order and the clean-up crew was very attentive making sure trash cans did not overflow and tables were wiped down. Now, onto the food... Shrimp Pimp: 2 drunken shrimp tacos -- sherry ginger marinated shrimp sauteed and served with, I believe, pickled jicama and carrots on 2 tortillas. Verdict: 2.5 stars (out of 5). They were just okay. Didn't really taste a lot of marinade in the shrimp. Thought the tortillas could've been quick-grilled for a little more flavor. I have to say I was expecting this truck would have at least 1 Hawaiian-style garlic shrimp over steamed rice dish. I think that would round out the menu a bit. The Guinness-marinated shrimp & chips looked really tasty though. Patty Wagon: 2 "Shine On Harvest Moon" sliders -- a ground beef burger with Havarti cheese, warm bacon/cabbage/leek slaw, slice of pink lady apple, bit of mayo with homemade pickle on a toasted roll. Verdict: 5 stars. Delicious! Great grubbing food. I had mine w/out the apple since I'm allergic to raw apples. I could taste pretty much every ingredient. The grass-fed ground beef reminded me of beef I had on a trip to Ireland where they have some of the best in the world. It was perfectly-cooked and juicy. The roll had just the right crispy crust while still pillow-soft in the middle. Willoughby Road: Twice fried chicken w/grilled watermelon and side of creamy mac & cheese. Verdict: 3 stars. Chicken was greasier than I'm used to. The batter had a slightly sweet flavor w/a bit of a kick. The chicken meat itself was fairly juicy and not dry. I don't normally care for watermelon but grilling it enhances the flavor. I liked it. The mac & cheese was less than impressive. The consistency was pretty good but the flavor was lacking. I tasted more of the pasta itself than cheese. The Street Hawker (Singaporean): Fried rice w/shrimp, carrots, peas, onions, a bit of scrambled egg and topped with cilantro and red chili pepper. Verdict: 4 stars. Full of flavor! I couldn't totally place the seasoning. There was definitely soy sauce but I couldn't tell what else. It was slightly smokey. The color was a rich, dark brown. The rice was not quite sticky like most places which actually was just fine. I must mention we asked to make it not so spicy so I'm not sure how spicy it normally is. Good portion for $8. We wanted to eat it all but we saved half for tomorrow. Ahn-Joo (Korean): 3 small, grilled skewers of ginger & soy marinated beef w/cherry tomatoes. Verdict: 4 stars. Great flavor! The tomatoes complemented the beef perfectly. A few of the beef pieces were a tiny bit chewy--seemed to have a bit more fat. Other than that, great snack! Mango Tango: Peach Italian ice. Verdict: 5 stars. Texture was just right. Actual peach chunks. If it wasn't too chilly I would've eaten it up within 10 minutes. Generous portion for a small size ($4). My wife also had a grilled Nutella bhang w/berries from Ahn-Joo which I did not taste. It's basically a grilled Nutella sandwich w/fresh berries sprinkled with powdered sugar. Looked tasty! Again, I felt like the event was put together pretty well. Everyone seemed satisfied (except for one older lady in front of us at the Shrimp Pimp who had apparently asked for something not spicy but it was still too spicy for her. She later apologized for complaining and the truck manager made sure she was satisfied). I forgot to mention the large projected designs (one for Wholly Rollers, the other snowflakes) on the side of a tall office building next door. Classy! Plenty of seating for everyone. The DJ didn't play dancy, pop music all night. He actually threw in some good mainstream rock songs too which was a nice change. Great job Wholly Rollers!! Looking forward to the next one. This should be a WEEKLY thing like The Brig in Venice!!
