This year’s Route 66-inspired LA County Fair run has come to the end of the road.

It was a trip to remember. Countless fairgoers took selfies with some of the most iconic Route 66 roadside attractions without ever driving on the Mother Road. Fairgoers reveled in the nostalgia of it all, especially the replicas of the Hollywood sign, the Wigwam Motel, and the half-buried Caddies at the Cadillac Ranch.

Now, visitors will have to get out on the actual road or be satisfied with Route 66 nostalgia, because the fair is over! Sunday, Sept. 23, was the last day.
