Daytime temperatures reached well into the 90s but that didn't stop crowds from kicking off the holiday weekend at the Alameda County Fair in Pleasanton.
PLEASANTON -- Friday night in Pleasanton, fireworks and drones painted patriotic designs, lighting up the night sky at the Alameda County Fair.
Brentwood resident Dean Williams and owner of Red & White Concessions has been doing this for nearly 50 years. Williams began working at this very fair in 1966, when corn dogs were just 25 cents. Today, they sell for $7-$10.The recipe has never changed. Their team expects to crank out 1,600 corn dogs each day this holiday weekend.
"It very much impacted who I am as a person, especially working since I could talk, in customer service," Melanie said."I feel like I really know how to talk to people.""Even when there's a recession or pandemic we always do well at fairs and I think they really like that nostalgia, just coming back. We've seen changes but a county fair has generally stayed the same," Liesel said.
