Description	Photograph of a view of the entrance to the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona, showing fairgoers and a large canvas-topped tent, ca.1925-1929. Fairgoers traverse the fore- and centergrounds, entering and exiting the fair. Other fairgoers sit, facing the activity, on benches around a group of hedges at the left of the image. A parked automobile sits in the right centerground, in front of a row of small palm trees. A large, canvas-topped tent sits in the right background, with flags at its peak and on its support posts. Another tent is visible in the background.; Legible signs, from left to right, include: "Floral Display Straight Ahead", "See Selig Zoo. [¿] See La Fresa Pheasantry", "Los Angeles County Fair Poultry Show. The Largest Fair Exhibition on the Pacific Coast", "Womens' Department Under Grandstand", and "Electric Shoe Shine [¿]".
