Valitar Tent Finally Being Removed
Crews worked this week to take down the large red Valitar tent, which can been seen from Interstate 5, after the show abruptly closed three months ago.
Valitar was cancelled months ago, but the big red tent is finally coming down at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Crews continued to disassemble the tent on Thursday morning after it sold for $85,000 at auction late last month.
Absolute Power, a company out of Huntington Beach, placed the winning bid, according to Fox 5 San Diego.
