Fair offering a quiet, comfortable space to nurse or pump.

Breastfeeding in public is legal in all 50 states, and many states explicitly exempt it from public indecency laws. While mothers have the right to breastfeed anywhere they are legally allowed to be, some may feel more comfortable with privacy. There are also many resources and tips available to help mothers breastfeed discreetly in public

One of my favorite fairs to hit each year is the Orange County Fair. The 185th annual Orange County Fair kicked off Thursday and runs through July 27th. So much great entertainment at this fair. Enjoy the fair food, rides, a circus, tribute concerts, fireworks, and more! We were their for opening day with a live radio broadcast and the Bon Jovi tribute Slippery When Wet.

So many fond memories of hitting up the Orange County Fair back in the day and seeing so many great concerts at he Speedway grand stands like Metallica, Queensryche, Yes, and Meat Loaf. Also, walking around with an ice cold beer and checking out he midway games and oddities. Its always a fin time. You know its summer when they're rockin' in Middletown. And its good to see that the fair is looking out for parents with young ones.
