If you're heading out to the
San Diego County Fair this year,
there are a lot of rides,
the famous fair food,
and a whole bunch of attraction.
We're also there to connect with you,
our viewers, and answer your questions
at our Working For You booth.
CBS8 Jesse Pagan is there tonight and
joins us live from the Delmar Fairgrounds.
Jesse, what you got?
You got food
with you What
Marcella, you know me too well,
OK When our producers and our bosses said,
hey Jesse, you're gonna go and
man the CBS a working for you 1.
I said awesome. Sounds like a p.
I love being out here meeting everybody.
And then I said. I'm going to be at the fair,
which means I haven't eaten since yesterday
because I needed to eat my way through the
fair and that is what I have been doing.
But as I was walking through,
I found this little spot and I ,
hey, this looks like a little paradise
within our little paradise of San Diego.
So I walked in here and I found this guy,
the real coconut guy, right her.
And guess what he's doing?
He is smashing real coconuts inl
time right here and handing thet
to people to drink and to eat them too.
So this is the real coconut guy right here,
my man.
Tell me, what are you doing right now?
We are shucking coconuts for frh
coconut water out of the coconud
then after we give you one to d.
You should try that.
Let me try this real quick, guy.
So fresh coconut water.
You saw him crack it open right there. Oh
goodness. OKI love coconuts,
so I may be a little bit biased,
but this is really good.
But he does something else afterwards.
So if you drink all this and
then you bring the coconut back,
what do you do? Well, I'll show.
Oh, man,
You can eat it with your finger,
island boy style, if you want.
All right. You want to.
You want to try a little bit of that.
All right, Carlo,
I have a feeling that you mightw
what I'm about to do right here.
Carlo, I think you might have a
feeling that you've tried this before.
I'm from Puerto Rico.
I've tried this before. So.
Oh, fresh Pocono, guys.
Yeah, okay. So this is the Gray,
like, palate cleanser after
eating like 14 corn dogs,
a bunch of carne asada fries,
a whole sandwich and a half chicken fingers,
all of that good stuff.
So maybe just a little bit,
you know, I'm bulking.
It's bulking season, right?
So this is the real coconut guy here and
just one little enclave of the entire fair.
But if you look around those gu,
you got all kinds of foods,
all kinds of drinks.
I'm still handing onto this coct
in my hand. I'm going to put itn
real quick before I drop it bece
it is too good.
To drop, but you guys know
it's the San Diego County Fair.
It's the same as it is every ye,
but with some new additions.
Of course this year we've got tons of rides,
lots of food going on.
Our photographer Jordan Ray is walking
around to give you guys a look at the
main drag here with all the foo,
all of the rides.
Some people looking like why are they
have a camera up in my face but.
Lots of people,
Lots of people already coming out though,
even though it is only Wednesda.
And of course we've still got Thursday,
Friday and the weekend and the
rest of June into July, guys.
So I'll leave it to that.
You guys can take it back.
And I'm just going to continue
my food tour and I'm actually
going to go and play some games,
so maybe you'll catch me
there in the next half hour.
I actually
love that it's overcast. I mean,
usually at the fair we're sweat,
trying to find cover. I mean,
this just looks so fabulous out there.
It does, Marcella.
It's nice and Gray and cool.
I think this might be one of the
only times where I'm going to sy
I'm digging the Gray sky right
now because I have not burned,
I'm not summered.
I haven't been sweating all day.
So it's actually turned out to e
quite the nice climate and weather to
come on out and have some fun t.
And Jesse as being a big eating,
as Sean mentioned a couple weeks back.
You know, it's a little easier
to do when it's not hot.
You're not like, sweating it out as much,
so you enjoy that, like the pre.
We'll see you again a little bit later
in the 6:00 o'clock news you see in our
second-half hour. Have for us tn
we're waiting for that new surp.
See you soon, Jesse.
And if you didn't make it today or tonight,
we still want you to come by.

your neighborhood tomorrow.

Marcella is going to be
