We asked our Facebook followers: “What was your favorite memory of the first day of school growing up?”

A few responses:

• Monica Cordova Jaime: I remember Friday candy sales, McDonald’s and Taco Bell able to purchase at school along with snack bar at lunch or sodas, candy, hot pockets etc. Now days I can’t even get my kids to eat their lunch or breakfast due to disgusting meal choices.

We asked our Facebook followers: “What are your thoughts on the fair so far, assuming you’ve gone.”

A few responses:

• Natalie Cordova: I enjoyed the layout of everything. It seemed less crowded and everything was a bit more accessible than in the past years. Kids had a lot of fun and I enjoyed the food as always.

• Karina Torres: Better than last year, more rides for the little ones and the employees were much nicer. My kids had a blast.
