LAKEPORT, Calif. – If you've not managed to make it to this year's Lake County Fair, there's still time.


The event, which kicked off on Thursday, enters its final day on Sunday, with a full lineup of events to appeal to all ages and offer “Fun for the Whole Herd,” as this year's theme suggests.


“It's been going quite well,” Fair Chief Executive Officer Richard Persons said Saturday evening.


He said attendance appears to be up from last year.


The fair was bustling Saturday evening after a busy day that included the annual Junior Livestock Auction.


The hot weather cooled and yielded to a pleasant night set against the backdrop of the brightly colored midway, with the music from a concert by local favorites The Lost Boys rising on the air.


At the same time, at the main grandstands racing fans watched side-by-side mud drag racing, and radio-controlled cars raced in one of the nearby livestock barns.
