Gone are the llama and pony rides and other kid-related activities. Remember that this is put on by the poway chamber, as far as I remember, you got a substantial discount for a booth at the fair if you were a chamber member. This puts home and do-it-yourself mom and pops at a disadvantage and keeps their numbers down. The 2nd street fair of the year also used to be later in the year (november) when it was cooler but was moved to september for poway days in 2011. I'll admit that I spend less time there than I used to because there are fewer unique handcrafted items being sold and more and more businesses trying to sell you windows and solar power.

Perhaps a better idea would be to leave them at home, or put them in the trunk. Blue Sky is a hidden oasis, not a store front parking lot.
