Woo hoo!  It’s finally here: the 2009 OC Super Fair!  Truth be told, this summer’s will be my very first OC Fair and I am excited to explore it with you all!  The OC Super Fair has a whole lot to offer and it’s time to get to exploring!  I anticipate a desire to go back several times throughout the fair’s duration, so a few good discounts and promotions are definitely in order! 

Tomorrow is the first of several We Care Wednesdays!  From Noon – 6pm, you’ll get one free admission ticket and one carnival ride if you bring in five canned food items!  That’s a pretty awesome deal and all of it goes to the Second Harvest Food Bank and Share Our Selves (SOS).  VitaminOC staff will be wandering around so tweet @ us if you’re there!  Don’t forget to print out the 2009 OC Super Fair Coupon Book - it has coupons for everything.  Check the text below for all the great deals that are being offered!
