The Caruthers Fair is the largest free-gate fair in California!! NO Admission Fees!! I grew…read moreup going to this fair and it still has a small town feel and a safe environment fair located in the small community of Caruthers, CA, just south of Fresno, CA. It is mainly funded by Fair Queen Contestants selling raffle tickets for a new car! This year it is a Ford Mustang! The stand out to this Fair is all the food booths that are operated by churches, schools, and other non-profit organizations! All the food is diversified and home-made delicious!! Come support these organizations and have some diversity of home-made pies, aebleskiver, tri-tip dinners, pizza, fresh corn on the cob, turkey leg, teriyaki chicken, hamburgers, nachos, carne asada!! There is a small Midway that covers enough rides and Ferris wheel! There are local vendors selling their hand crafted merchandise and jewelry. All friendly people! They have exhibit buildings for art and horticulture. Since it's a Country fair there are tractors and farm equipment! It's a 4 day fair at the end of September Wednesday thru Saturday and a Parade on Saturday!! People are Friendly, Food is Good! Live Music!

(I have no children, so I have no interest in the carnival section, although it looked fine to me.) The one thing they could do better on is to explain the parking options on their website. There is $10 parking (cash only) at the high school next door and limited free parking on the street, but the website says absolutely NOTHING about parking at all. (For some reason, event websites often neglect to mention transportation/parking. I do not know why this is, since it seems like an obvious thing that people coming to any event would want to know about before getting there.)

Glad to be welcomed back home to this ag community and to be a part of it! Everyone was super friendly from the crowd, the people in line for the bathrooms, booth vendors, etc. Some tips for buying your tickets, ABCD has a bit more space for your butt as the other side is on bleachers. If you do sit in EFGHI etc, sit closer to the aisles and bring some earplugs if you have sensitive ears. Also if you are sensitive in general, the rodeo clown comedy fits the community--what a refreshing taste of reality and part of why I love my town! I attended the bull riding for day 1 and had a great time, so much so I bought more tickets for the week and sat through soaking rain to enjoy it. If you get a chance to go, you should. Tickets and food vendor prices are all fair, they are priced up but not excessively in my opinion which gives space for you to leave tips. All purchases support our community organizations!

I feel like they have double the amount of claw machines now. Their grand reopening was a family fun filled day. We got there a little early and got free plushies. Then depending on how much you spent you got raffle tickets to try and win some awesome prizes. This place sure knows how to make a bang. They gave away over 30 prizes. Ranging from plushies, Pokemon cards, skull pandas and labubu. I was actually the winner of a skull panda. They even had a huge labubu there to take pics with. All the workers were really kind. They even moved some plushies around to help us win. My boys love this place and can't wait to go back.

First thing I want to say, they actually offer very good military discounts with valid ID. We were both so happy about this offering!! There were a few hiccups with tickets. They basically emailed the tickets. Sometimes they wouldn't scan at each haunt, so that was annoying but tolerable. Each haunt had it's own unique theme. We especially enjoyed the Pizza Crawlers -- excellent job on this one!!!! My only feedback would be... Maybe a DJ for music throughout the park... More food vendors More fog machines to dim the surface viewing area, but make it scary... MORE actors!! Just more more more. The groundwork and concepts are really great, just need to work out the haunt kinks. Great job to all those that worked this haunted event!!

The Fresno convention center is part of an entire convention complex which includes the Saroyan theatre and Selland Arena. Yes, the complex itself and restrooms are old and small, but they keep it clean and well organized. Reason why I give it four stars is because of accessibility. Even thou it is located in downtown Fresno, it is easy to find and find your way around. Easy parking, food locations nearby and parking is not over priced. Great place to hold venues.

I was just as confused as you when I heard the Fresno fair was happening in May! But let's just jump right into this. First of all, I am not a huge fan of the Fresno fair that happens in the Fall. It's extremely crowded, so hot and overpriced. The Spring fair is a lot smaller than the BIG Fresno fair but it is held in the same spot. I feel that if given more exposure , this event will grow larger. This is the FIRST year. They have the usual foods like deep fried Oreos, twinkies, giant corn dogs, Bubba's BBQ and etc. don't expect a huge amount of stands for food though! For this year at least because there were maybe just 9 food stands ? But that's okay, because there were no lines ! Lol And you got your food quickly. There are a lot of other vendors selling trinkets, snacks and other seen on tv items. Camel rides for $10. A free bird show, the bird sang happy birthday! Lol There are an abundance of games and some rides. Which I did not pay too much attention to, I only came for the food and just to check it out. Slightly disappointed that there were no lobster fries or gelato. Maybe next year ! Parking : $5 Fresno fair parking Entrance : $10

Not only did it keep the kids and tweens busy (7-14), it kept my almost 2 and 3 yo olds entertained thinking they were playing, and my big kids enjoyed themselves too (my husband and brothers). The owner, Junior, and his employee, Raymond, were amazing! Very friendly, helpful, had everything set up when I got there, did the cake cutting, took pics (will send to me in a few days), and cleaned everything up when we were done. When my 8yo wanted to try duck hunt they got the game and gun then pulled out those old "box tvs" to set it up...kids got a kick out of how huge it was lol. We will definitely be back for my son to hang out and play games...he's already said he wants to have his next party there. Thanks again Junior and Raymond!

Just stay at home and play online matches or find some people that actually know what they're talking about and have an old fashioned LAN party. The Tournaments are a joke, the food is a joke, the "sponsored" players are a joke... THE WHOLE PLACE IS A BAD JOKE!
