HOME GROWN FUN, presented by the San Diego County Fair
Friday, June 11, 2021
Oh, how we missed you last year!
We just couldn’t let another summer come and go without celebrating San Diego and all of the wonderful food & agriculture, arts & talent, business & innovation, and all-around FUN of our community.
So while we’re still masked up and six-feet apart, we’re rolling up our sleeves and getting back to our roots for
HOME GROWN FUN, presented by the San Diego County Fair.
Smaller in scale than the fair and limited in attendance,
HOME GROWN FUN will offer a taste of your fair favorites–including shopping, food concessionaires, a Ferris wheel and carousel, agricultural-themed exhibits, demonstrations, contests and “edu-tainment” designed to educate and delight families looking to get outside for some real-life, in-person and down-home fun.
NORTH COUNTY (KUSI) – Starting Memorial Day weekend, North County Transit District will be resuming their summer schedule, which had diminished due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The popular Coaster 699, or the Padres train, and transit to the San Diego County Fair are also returning.
The district took advantage of the hiatus to refurbish their coach cars with improved wi-fi and fresh new seating.
Since the refurbishment projects takes about two years to complete, there is still a chance that a rider may be placed in an old coach.
But it is more likely that guests will ride in a refurbished coach, Tony Kranz, North County Transit District’s Board Chair and Deputy Mayor of Encinitas, added.
Del Mar opposition delays railroad safety fence again

The installation of a fence in Del Mar to keep people off the railroad tracks, already delayed by public opposition, has been postponed again so San Diego’s North County Transit District can complete more studies.
Transit district officials initially told Del Mar in an Oct. 9, 2020, letter that the agency would install a 6-foot-high, chain-link fence along areas of the tracks “with the highest incidence of trespassing” in Oceanside, Encinitas and Del Mar. It was set to be completed by the end of the year.
