We have traditional ones and some that are a little weird. Some of them, are a hat contest, hot dog eating contest, green treasure hunt, teenage battle of the bands, Amateur Rib Cook Off, a $10,000 putting contest reminiscent of miniature golf, the third annual gumbo contest, and lots and lots of others. This is an interview with Courtney Townsend who is responsible as she pointed out for some of them but not all. http://www.alamedacountyfair.com f2edb5a4-ba42-48d9-51fe-e32f0f273798 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 01:26:53 GMT 00:11:50 Karen Riedl HGTV's Designed to Sell no Denver Home Show - Taniya Nayak Taniya Nayak will be presenting a the Denver Home Show at the National Western Complex on March 18th and 19th, for 45 minutes, giving all kinds of tips and tricks on how to fix up your home on a budget http://www.homeshowdenver.com 3e3d11cf-52ce-a138-30b4-4ca21aa458a5 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 00:44:13 GMT 00:13:08 Karen Riedl one beautiful clown from South Carolina no Pickles da Clown "One of the BEST balloon twisters in the Carolina's America's Most Beautiful Clown...inside & out!"
