The Fairplex <\/a>in Pomona, California has been the home of the Pomona Swap Meet & Classic Car Show\u00a0since 1975. \u00a0Of course, back then it was known then as the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds. \u00a0And when George Cross III started this venture, the show was held on the Point parking lot, where the Sheraton Hotel is today.<\/p>\n

4,200 people came out to that first show. \u00a0Since then, we’ve expanded… and so has the Fairplex. \u00a0The Fairplex is now a combination of indoor and outdoor spaces for all sorts of events. \u00a0Karate competitions… reptile shows… tattoo conventions… you name it, they’ve got it all! \u00a0If you’re planning to attend a show (it better be ours!), make sure you take a look at what the Fairplex and the surrounding areas have to offer.<\/p>\n
