Food Vendor: Snow Cone Cart
After a drizzly L.A. day like Wednesdsy, it’s hard to believe that in only two weeks you’ll be praying for snow … snow cones, that is. Beat the heat with some refreshingly crunchy ice flavored with colors so vivid, they can only come from a bottle.

Game: Yacht Races
Here’s the chance to experience the dream of a lifetime—to sail your own yacht! Sail the SS Hello Kitty, the Star Wars fleet or the Pirates of the Caribbean ship. We supply the yacht. You bring the wind.
Entertainment: Zumba
Twenty-two Colfax students have been practicing for two months to entertain you with three different Zumba dances: A mashup of the Black Eyed Pea’s The Time and Ricky Martin’s Drop It on Me; Beyonce’s Move Your Body (part of Michelle Obama’s fitness campaign); and the fifth graders will be moonwalking (or rather Zumba-walking) to a medley of Michael Jackson hits.
Attraction: Double Splash Rapids
Our amazing Morella Street Water Park hosts an inflatable with not one, but two parallel slides. Race your friends. Race your enemies. Last one down is a soaking egg.
Colfax Charter Elementary School will also be highlighting these features daily on both their Facebook and Twitter pages, which are linked to the school website. Anyone who replies, retweets, or leaves a comment on Patch will be entered into a daily drawing to win a Colfax World Fair T-shirt and 10 tickets to the fair. Winners will be announced the following day.
The winner for Day 19 is Grettel Cortes. Congratulations Grettel!
