THE MONTEREY COUNTY FAIR WRAPPED UP FOR THE YEAR LAST NIGHT AFTER THE GATES CLOSED. OFFICIALS SAY THAT IT WAS ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR ON PAPER, MUCH HIGHER IN SOME CATEGORIES THAN LAST YEAR. IN 2011 MORE THAN 73,000 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE FAIR, AND ALTHOUGH NUMBERS ARE NOT YET OFFICIAL, THIS YEAR COULD BE EVEN MORE THAN THAT.
