She signed it like a postcard. Standing in the dune grass in her swimsuit, pointing the sign straight ahead to the Ventura County Fair, September 12 through 16. That's how they told you where to go before your phone did it for you. A woman named Virginia, a hand-lettered sign, and a promise to see you there.
The Fair is still here. This photo isn't from now, and that's the whole point. It's the version somebody's grandparents drove to, the one that smelled like fry oil and salt air off the same stretch of beach it still runs on. Somebody loved it enough to pose. Somebody signed it and meant it. You just don't see a Ventura like this one anymore, even in the middle of a Ventura that's still standing.
Printed big across the back, easy to read from clear across the fairgrounds. Pick your color. You already know the way.
