After a two-year COVID pause, the Pima County Fair returns with all the funky fair food, fearless amusement rides and free concerts.
Cathalena E. Burch It’s a tossup what folks missed more about not having the Pima County Fair these past two years:
For the first time since 2019, the Pima County Fair returns this weekend for an 11-day run from Thursday, April 21, through Sunday, May 1. How about a flaming hot pickle made with extra thick cut, ice cold pickle chips topped with creamy cheese sauce and crunchy Flaming Hot Cheetos? Sour, cold, creamy and tongue-lashing spicy all in a single bite.
Watermelon taco — a thick slice of watermelon cut down the middle to create the taco shell that’s filled with ice cream and topped with Tajin seasoning. Most of the food stands are operated by Ray Cammack Shows, based out of the West Valley town of Levine. RCS operates the carnivals at nine major events including the Arizona State Fair, Coachella and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
The two most expensive rides are the 16-ticket Insanity, which see-saws you back and forth several hundred feet in the air then flips in a full circle so that you are, for an instant, upside down; the 20-ticket Mach 1 that stands 120 feet and flips end over end with riders strapped into cages; or the 30-ticket — that’s $37.50 if you’re doing the math — Titan, which takes you 170 feet in the air flipping you over and over as you sit, legs dangling from the cage.
