WhyIslam of Southern California Presents...
2nd Annual Discover Islam Dawah Booth
At The
The Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona lasts about 18 days, starting early in September. It is the largest county Fair in all of North America, drawing 1.4 million visitors each year including 75,000 to 100,000 on weekends. With 2,000 vendors, the fair bills itself as the largest marketplace west of the Mississippi.
Pomona's permanent fairground provides the perfect location for the event filled with all the usual traditions of a fair, plus unique and elaborate exhibits. Set amidst almost 500 acres of lushly landscaped grounds, the fair features more than 200 permanent display buildings, a ski-lift ride, shady picnic areas, livestock barns and stables, a model farm and one of the world's largest miniature train displays.
During the fair there are various contests including two rodeos, fireworks, a fine arts exhibition, a Mexican Village, gardens, carnival rides, food, a full-sized thoroughbred race track and various stages featuring live entertainment.
Such a large gathering provides an excellent opportunity for outreach. We distributed material to almost 4000 people in 2004.
