Orange County residents hankering for a corndog and pig races will have to act fast, as O.C. Fair organizers say the regional festival sold out on opening weekend for the first time in more than a century.
Demand for tickets on Saturday and Sunday exceeded 45,000 single-day capacity limits imposed by organizers. And since tickets must be purchased online in advance, anyone who may have waited until arriving to book slots would have been turned away at the gates.
The monthlong event opened Friday and runs Wednesday through Sunday each week through Aug. 15.
