| At first glance the Fairplex reminds you of place where a County
Fair might be held. Why? Because it is held here. It is the home of the
L.A. County Fair which takes place every year. It is also home to Horse
Racing, Drag Racing, Livestock Shows and Computer Swap Meets.
The fist thing you must know about the Fairplex is that it is just
like the wild, old west. There is no order or procedures in place for move
in or move out of shows. Because each building has several freight doors
and several double-wide glass crash doors, people tend to park everywhere
and anywhere to facilitate their moving in. Most shows even allow the exhibitors
to drive directly to their booth spaces to unload. This is unacceptable
to me but what the hell do I know?
The "Exhibit Halls" are actually domed buildings with little or no
docks. There are actually 3 dock spots at the rear of building #4 and this
is where most of the shows are held. But we use these docks mainly for
our own usage trailers. The dock spots are too tight to get over-the-road
tractor/trailers into them. So we don't even try.
The following are pictures of the 3 dock spots at the rear of building
#4. |
