The Cal Expo is the site of the California State Fair. All year Satellite Wagering,
Waterworld USA, Paradise Island Fun Center and an RV Park are just a few of the features of the Cal Expo.
The first State Fair was held in 1854 in San Francisco] at the old Music Hall. The fair offered premiums (prizes) for its competitions and included such agricultural exhibits such as 2-inch-long peanuts, 72-pound beets and a 10-pound carrot that was longer than 3 feet. Horseracing was part of that first fair and has continued to be a part of the fair ever since.
