Placer County Fair — Attraction in Roseville

I went to the "quilt, Sewing and Craft festival" which was being held there for the first time. It's a large area out there at the new fairgrounds but I wasn't quite happy with the layout. First of all there are a lot of seniors that go there and I thought there was NOT enough handicapped parking spaces. So if you have to park far away it would have been nice to have some extra spaces. But if you were lucky to find a spot way back in front of the venue it would had been nice until you got to the front steps and saw that if you needed to use the ramp to walk/wheel up you had to walk past the main steps a lot farther down the parking lot to get to the available ramp to walk up. By that time I was pretty worn out. POOR PLANING GUYS! The Races were on that day and something else about Tacos. All in all it was a nice although smaller show. I'm sure it will grow. I guess Roseville needs to make money to pay for all new ventures and that's why they need to charge $10.00 for parking like Cal Expo. But then again they will probably due a lot better than the Rocklin Fiasco of City Hall called an Adventure. Yes, an adventure into your wallet to pay for it. So, Roseville new fairgrounds a 7 out of 10! Rocklin a -10. That's...

I am visiting the event at this ground today. I pulled into the parking lot, there were a lot of people crossing through the driving lot so I stopped for them to safely get to the other side of the road before I could proceed. One of the parking lot attendants named Tina got aggregated that I was allowing the pedestrians to cross and started getting aggressive that I need to move in an up tone voice with violent gestures. I paid the dues, parked my car and headed towards the same location to express my concerns. I found a gentleman who claimed to be the owner of the company contracted for parking lot. He was rude judging because I was brown and told me that he doesn’t trust me and he was not going to do anything. He called me a bluff on my face and told me that this is what my “kind” does “ALL” the time. I told him that he needs to tell his employee to calm down as people are coming to this event to have fun. He called out: “Tina can you calm down”, and laughed.

I am not sure how the county hires such people to be the customer face. This is racism...

OOP $10 parking, $20 admission (2 adults + free child 5 and under), $14 churro + funnel cake, $8 popcorn, $22 rides wristband = $74. We did eat dinner before coming. There was so much to do, we felt we could’ve spent $10 less on rides to roam around more!

1st time for my hus, myself, and our 2.5 y/o. Very well done. Clean, varied activities, varied environments for entertainment (and AC if it’s hot).

Plenty of free things to enjoy- 4H animal competitions, shows, music, free family activities, and exhibits

The food was the most painful price gouge. We ate dinner before arriving. There were seriously 1-person items for $17-20. This concerns me that it’s a compilation of inflation plus vendor fees. I hope the vendor fees are manageable so the customers don’t end up paying the price. Not everyone can afford that, and you’re not allowed to bring in...
