You won’t want to miss out on this night of riotous laughter as comedian Carlos Mencia takes the stage at the 2010 Big Fresno Fair. This Honduran born entertainer didn’t always dream of a career in comedy. In fact, he was an electrical engineering major in college! Fortunately, he followed his heart and has been entertaining audiences across America for more than a decade. Mencia is best known for his sketch-comedy show, Mind of Mencia, which showcased his confrontational, politically incorrect style of humor, as well as numerous HBO stand up specials.

Just four more weeks until the Fair is back in town and with it, all the delicious food! The Gyros do not get the publicity of the corn dogs or the acclaim of the cinnamon rolls, but this Fair favorite has been winning the hearts of Fairgoers for years! This authentic Greek cuisine is a filling and refreshing combination of your choice of meat, veggies and tzatziki sauce all wrapped in a fresh, warm pita bread. Do you want one yet?
