[Accrs] Alameda County Fair creation????

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

I don't have the answer for Dean's question.  However, I wanted to make 
a comment about last Friday night.  On the way home from work, I stopped 
by and drove in Gate 12.  No problem.  However, when I got to the area 
near us, it was more clear why we weren't allowed access.  There was far 
more activity and booths than I remember seeing for the Scottish games 
on Friday night than I've seen before.  I headed on out the front gate 
and there were a lot of booths on the way there.  Does anyone remember 
the past games on Friday night?  It seemed to me it was a relative 
handful of people setting up their tents and small booths and that was 
about it.
