The Simi Valley Fair and Music Festival is this weekend. The fair this year is bigger than in the past. This is a great opportunity for candidates to meet people. The parade was this morning and had many politicians in it.

You can post pictures on the Facebook page for my blog. The best pictures I will post on this page. The debates there are usually better because it is not anonymous.

The Simi Valley teachers union was there to support their endorsed candidates. They also support Proposition 30 and are against Proposition 32. What do you think of the propositions?

This picture was posted by Simi Valley School Board candidate Josie Hirsch on her Facebook page.

This picture was posted by a Keith Mashburn supporter on their own page.

Please send in pictures I should post.

My sister sent me a few photos she took of the parade. If you have more photos you would like me to post of any of the campaigns please send them in.

Did you go to Simi Valley Days this year? I was skeptical of holding it in a park but I was impressed. My family went today and we had a great time. Holding it in Rancho park gave more shade, places to sit, more for kids to do for free, and more space. I rode bumper cars, ate pizza from Segesta's, ate fries from the Second Missionary Baptist Church of Simi Valley, and went on a few of the inflatable games. The park was much more family friendly as it was easier to watch after kids.

I also didn't need a car wash afterwards! I understand that local developers have allowed empty fields to be used in the past and I know the community is thankful.

Thank you to the many volunteers for putting on a great event that funds many local charities. Thank you to the sponsors of the parade and the fair too.

Did you go? What were the best parts for you? The best part for me was the petting zoo. A pig, goats, sheep, and more. I didn't realize the finesse a goat uses to eat little pieces of feed from a little hand. The photos came out great.

Thanks again for a great event and a awesome location.
