It may be hard to believe, but summer is almost over. With the back to school rush comes a desire to fill what remains of summer with a few more fabulous outings and adventures – preferably ones that will lower your temperature during the dog days of summer. Here are the best ways to keep cool until it’s time to head back to school.

Go to the county fair – at night

The carnival atmosphere is even more fun at night – the lights, the music and cotton candy for days. To beat the heat, wait until the sun sets and trek on over to a county fair. Admire stars from the Ferris wheel, play games and savor new treats in the cool of the night.

The Ventura County Fair and the Orange County Fair are both here till August 10 and the LA County Fair starts up August 29 and runs through September 28.
