Campus and community arts events for the week of Sept. 28, 2012.

Wednesday was La Verne Day at the Los Angeles County Fair, so many University of La Verne students took advantage of the free admission.

The 90th annual Los Angeles County Fair opened on Labor Day weekend and will run every Wednesday through Sunday until the end of September. Here are some of the highlights this weekend.

After working with students and chemicals in the lab, Mark Nelson, professor of chemistry, heads home to his workshop where he creates prize-winning stained glass pieces.

This year the Los Angeles County Fair has a Live Shark Encounter exhibit that lets audience members laugh and learn some quick facts while watching a diver interact with the animals as if they were not sharks at all.

When most people think of the Los Angeles County Fair they think about the rides, games and deep fried foods while the racetrack is often forgotten.

The artistic works of Los Angeles County children are on display at the America’s Kids exhibit at the Los Angeles County Fair.

Seeing animals is a quintessential element of going to the fair and is just as important as eating deep-fried Twinkies and winning a giant stuffed animal at Skeeball.

Setting out for an day of culinary indulgence at the Los Angeles County Fair requires a firm will and an iron stomach.

Tasty food booths, intense rides and great concerts are only a few of the countless attractions taking place at the Los Angeles County Fair at the Fairplex in Pomona.
