In this episode of "California's Golden Fairs," Huell Howser heads to Indio, where for over 60 years, the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival has celebrated the date and entertained millions with everything you could want from a fair. From the wonderful food to the camel and ostrich races and crowning of the Queen Scheherazade and her court, it’s a wonderful way to spend the day.

Mark your calendars! The Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival is set for February 18 – 27, 2011!
