While attendance numbers aren't yet available, one fair spokesperson said it appeared to be a pretty good crowd for opening day. At night the midway crowd appeared moderate.
Youngsters like 9 year old Desinae Guzman enjoyed her favorite rides, the Zipper and the Super Dipper. Of the Dipper, which takes passengers up, then drops them straight down she said," When I went up I didn't feel scared, but when I went down I went, whoa, this is scary." But she adds, she didn't scream. "I just closed my eyes."
This is the 125th year for the Big Fresno Fair. For Amber and Beverly Younger, who just moved to Fresno, it was their first time at the fair. They enjoyed the rides, and said they were looking forward to Friday's concert with Gretchen Wilson.
