WE WENT TO THE STREET FAIR



Today was hot with a high of 30C and we were in it all day!

We left for Palm Desert, a community to the east of Palm Springs to see the College of the Desert Street Fair which is held on the campus. This every weekend event is organised by College of the Desert Alumni Association and in total has provided over $8 million in grants, gifts, and scholarships to the College of the Desert through the funds raised by the Fair. There is the usual display of fair wares along with a number of vendors selling the miracle age reduction products, energy enhancer products and items that will reduce arthritis and joint pain. As you would imagine there is a large presence of retirees at this event.        

Boy - does that sound yummy??

Outside patio fireplaces.

We saw these two service dogs out in the heat. Good thing they have their booties on to protect them from the hot asphalt.

We spent about three hours there then stopped on the way home to get a few groceries. We had our happy hour and then packed a few things away as we are back on the road tomorrow - heading north.
