It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Newport Beach gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Newport Beach, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

She is an amazing human with the biggest heart . ❤️”
“I had a very good experience with Phong and her workers. Mostly all of them were so great and helpful in their own way. If I requested one,,as I did many a time, she would do her best to honor my request. I highly reccommend her and Best Care.”
“The team at ABC Senior services has been a godsend for me and my family. The caretakers and this company came highly recommended from a friend and now I understand why. This business has been very accommodating and understanding and has tremendous experience. Every individual has unique needs and this company does its best to harmonize with the customers needs. We worked with Karla,Ronny,Michelle and Betsy. Dementia and Alzheimer's are very cruel ailments and ABC came through for us to help take care of my father's needs and to take pressure off of my mother by helping with daily tasks.”
“We have used Phuong and her caregivers for over a year. She and her team are the best. Phuong knew what my mother needed even before we did, as she knows the business front and back. She also has a compassionate heart. The only reason we stopped was because my mother could never return home and needed to be placed in a home. My mother loved her home and was grateful she could live there with the help of Always Best Care Senior Services.”
“ABC came in and really helped stabilize my mom’s living situation as her dementia worsened. Phuong was adaptable and worked with us regarding scheduling, doctor appointments and any other needs we had with our in-home care. I would definitely recommend Phuong and her team with any home healthcare needs.”
“I had a great experience with Always Best Care. My husband needed 8 hours 7 days a week care so the caregivers became part of our family! Not every caregiver was a good fit but Phoung was flexible and worked to insure our days went as smoothly as possible. I have recommended Always Best Care to friends and they have been thrilled with the care the are receiving.”

“After being in the assisted-living for nearly 3 weeks due to it, horrible accident, I arrived home, not being able to do much. I was completely frustrated, then, Always Best Care of came to my rescue! The ladies that came out were extremely helpful, kind, considerate, and understanding. Each week, they would jump in and do things that were absolutely impossible for me to do. I’m very independent, but they helpe me to relax, take it easy and let them handle anything I needed. I am so very grateful for this wonderful service.”
“An amazing company doing amazing things through home care. Phuong does an awesome job managing the staff and clients to assure the experience on both ends exceeds their expectations. It's a great place to work and give back to your community.”
“Writing a review for service received is never an easy task especially where it involves service provided to a loved one. But where service received becomes an overwhelmingly pleasant experience, the task becomes an easier one. Such is the feeling I have as I look back at the almost three years of care my late husband received from the caregivers provided by the Veterans Administration through the Always Best Care Agency. Of special mention was a very nice lady by the name of Claudette LaCaille, a pre-school teacher by profession who was one of the caregivers that unselfishly cared for him. Not only did she patiently attend to his needs---she provided a genuine companionship to him and great comfort and understanding to me. It made this painful period of my life bearable and easier to accept and cope with. I am also very grateful to the agency’s owner, Nguyen Phuong, for granting my request to send caregivers who could come consistently on a regular schedule. It made him feel like familiar friends were visiting him on a regular basis. I highly recommend the Always Best Care Senior Services and wish their caregiving heroes and heroines the best of health and good fortune now and always.”
“I appreciated the friendly & professional care Karla provided for me after my extended hospital & rehab stay. Thank you for sending Karla for my care.”
“Oh my gosh, the VA came to my rescue in providing my husband with a caregiving service after 3 years of doing it myself. Alway Best Care of Fountain Valley is the company that was designated to us. Phuong does a spectacular job in finding the best people possible to fit into a caregiving roll. What impressed me most is the fact that when a caregiver cannot make the scheduled appointment, Phuong does not allow us to be without caregiving service, if she cannot find a replacement she steps up and performs the duties herself. She is most helpful in assisting with regular caregiving service and does not feel it below her to chip in with light housekeeping chores. BRAVO Ms Phuong, your company’s service is the best.”
“Caregivers went beyond our expectations of what they can do to help us. The management "flexibility in schedule" helped us all in our household and gave us more relief in taking our short breaks and not to worry about our fiend's care, safety and his assistance at home. Consistency of caregivers assigned made it easier for my friend’s personality and to myself to handle his care. Caregivers provided the standard of professionalism, punctuality and respect in all aspects of care to my friend and to all household members as well. Always Best Care patiently worked and delivered my request for my friend's care in matching his personality with caregivers. I was not also easy to deal with being the person in charge to my friend. Thank you Always Best Care with gratitude. Penny Byram Westminster”

“After months of struggling with trying to find a reliable caregiver for a disabled loved one, I reached out to Always Best Care. From our first phone conversation, Phuong was incredibly helpful, highly professional, informative, and kind. She assisted us with getting care for my family member at home and recently helped us with transitioning her into a senior board and care facility. Phuong understood our needs and made the process super smooth and stress free. She always responds to emails and phone calls promptly and is a true gem. I highly recommend Always Best Care and could not be more pleased with the outstanding level of service Phuong provided.”
“The first month of assistance with Best care was a little rough for my 89 y.o.father, with a different care giver each visit. However as time progressed, the caregivers became more regular and his very favorite became Lauren! He is loving his in-home-care with the kindness and concern each of the caregivers show him.”
“The VA had brought in caregivers for my father from Always Best Care Newport Beach. All team members working with my father 2 days per week were wonderful. My father especially liked Karla and gave her high compliments. The entire team of caregivers from ABC were a blessing to my father and his wife. Thank you for your service. ????”
“Always Best was always professional and went out of their way to make my dad who was 88 feel special and took great care of him. They would accommodate our schedule and came to work on time. They cleaned the house and took great care of Werner. He was not always easy to work with but the staff had patients for him and for me. Always following up with my texts and phone calls. It was such a relief to know I could leave for work in the morning and they would be there to get dad up and started for the day. We were grateful for all they did for him. Debbie Stroman”
“Had a good experience with this care provider, my father needed home care doing daily living activities. The company is great and the help is better.”
“My sister and I feel so fortunate to have found Phuong at ABC Care when we were looking for care for my mother. Over many years of her helping us, Phuong never let us down and her team was professional, responsible and caring. If you are looking for someone to care for your loved one with compassion and consistency I would highly recommend Phuong. She is very hard working, was always accessible to us and takes personal responsibility for her team. We were so grateful to have her helping us with our mom.”
“The caregivers were a Godsend for me. Allowed me to breath and get away. Caregivers we're friendly, helpful around house, great conversation with my dad, really made his day!!! Caregivers helped with my dads quality of life”
“My uncle received care through Always Best Care and I always knew he was in good hands. When the need for care increased, they were able to answer that need immediately . It felt like having extended family looking after my uncle.”
Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting West Jetty View Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Mastro's Ocean Club or visit Old Landing Historical Marker, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Newport Beach, CA, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Newport Beach, CA understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Newport Beach, CA 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

Newport Beach Welcomes BROWISTA USA — The World’s Leading Brow Competition Debuts in OC
Newport Beach, CA — For the first time ever, the internationally renowned BROWISTA World Championship is making its way to the United States—and Newport Beach has been selected as the official host city for the BROWISTA USA Quarterfinals.
Set for Saturday, July 12, 2025, this global competition brings together elite permanent makeup (PMU) artists from across the country to compete in 12 categories, ranging from microblading and ombré brows to restorative tattooing for breast cancer survivors and children with alopecia.
The event will take place at the Bayview Marriott in Newport Beach. The public is invited to attend, witness the artistry up close, and be part of this one-of-a-kind international beauty event. Live judging commencing at 6:00 p.m. Top PMU professionals and international judges—including global educators from Europe, Canada, and the U.S. will evaluate competitors on artistry, technique, creativity, and precision.
Hosted by Pia and Troy Laing, co-founders of Brow House and Culture OC, this high-level competition marks a major milestone in bringing the growing PMU movement into the national spotlight.

When early California scene painting began to gain popularity in the 19th and early 20th centuries, artists were inspired by the French practice of plein air, bringing their easels outdoors to capture the beauty of the Golden State on canvas.

When early California scene painting began to gain popularity in the 19th and early 20th centuries, artists were inspired by the French practice of plein air, bringing their easels outdoors to capture the beauty of the Golden State on canvas. The 18th annual Back Bay Plein Air Art Festival in Newport Beach invites artists and art lovers alike to continue the tradition.
“It is a wonderful event for the whole community around Back Bay,” said Randi Moran, Back Bay Plein Air Art Festival chairperson. “It is all original art, either done plein air or plein air style.”
Opened Saturday in Newport Beach and running through July 20, the week-long art event is presented in joint partnership with the Southern California Plein Air Painters Assn., the Newport Bay Conservancy and OC Parks. The open air setting of Newport Back Bay serves as the backdrop for several events planned throughout the week, with most taking place at the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center at Upper Back Bay.
The festival began Saturday morning with a “Quick Draw” painting competition on the trails surrounding the Back Bay. Participating artists were vying to win cash and prizes valued at $1,000.
“Artists come in with a blank canvas, it gets stamped and they go out and paint for a few hours, come back, frame it and hang it up,” Moran explained before the festival opened. “Those get judged for first, second and third place awards.”
The works created during Saturday’s competition will remain on view and for sale through July 18.
A juried show of 56 works, painted “en plein air” that depict local OC Parks, like Irvine Regional Park, Peter’s Canyon, Salt Creek Beach and the Back Bay will be on view and for sale from 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., through July 18 in the “Best of OC Parks and Newport Bay Plein Air Art Show & Sale.”
Several hundred additional original paintings from club members will be on display and for sale on July 19-20 for the “Weekend Art Show & Sale,” scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“There are lots of gorgeous landscapes, not only of the Back Bay but all of Southern California, the coast, the local mountains, wilderness areas, all of it,” said Moran. “There also other paintings from up in the Sierras and the desert, but it mostly sticks to local landscapes.”
Additionally, adult and children’s art classes are scheduled through out the week in the Peter & Mary Muth Interpretive Center classrooms. Aspiring painters can register at eventbrite.com.
The Southern California Plein Air Painters Assn. was founded in 2001 by Margaret “Maggie” Jamison as a small gathering of artists from a painting class at Irvine Valley College taught by Jeff Horn. The association has since grown into a nonprofit that bring artists of all skill levels together by hosting weekly in-person paint-outs and other events.
The group also remains dedicated to supporting local conservation efforts to protect O.C.’s natural landscape. Members’ paintings can be found on view year round at OC Parks’ Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve in the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center.
“Part of our proceeds from this event go to the Newport Bay Conservancy,” Moran said.
Moran herself took up painting in the mid-2000s, when her husband gifted her with art classes. As a novice plein air artist, she found the Southern California Plein Air Painters Assn. to be a welcoming and inspiring community.
“I found a teacher who was part of Southern California Plein Air Painters Assn.,” said Moran. “My first Back Bay show was in 2012 and all the artists that were there were incredibly encouraging and kind and offered ways that I could improve. They were utterly helpful in every way and that is what we try to continue to be.“
She hopes locals will come out during the week to experience the festival for themsleves and gain a new appreciation for the natural beauty that exists in Back Bay and in their own backyards.
“Personally, I hike every Monday with a group and every time I am out there, I marvel at the incredible wilderness we still have in Orange County,” said Moran. “We try to capture a lot of that feeling on canvas.”
The 18th Annual Back Bay Plein Air Art Festival opened Saturday and will run through July 20 at the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center at 2301 University Drive in Newport Beach. For details on the event schedule visit socalpapa.com

COSTA MESA, CA — James Canfield started his new job overseeing the Orange County Fair and Event Center at the beginning of the month, but said Thursday he already loves what he sees as the fairgrounds are being prepared for their biggest event of the year.
"It's very exciting to be here, and a great time right before the fair, the most exciting time of the year for us at the fairgrounds and a great month for Orange County overall," Canfield told City News Service.
Canfield, who was hired last month as the OC Fair and Event Center's CEO and started work on July 1, has been busy overseeing the roll out of the county fair, which begins Friday and continues its 23-day run through Aug. 17.
Canfield most recently served as senior director and general manager of the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex in Alabama, but his new gig is a return to Southern California where he grew up.
"I've really walked every square (of the fairgrounds) at this point," Canfield said. "I don't know that I've found a favorite thing yet, but I do know there are some incredible rides in the Midway, there's some incredible food options."
The carnival rides, clever food-on-a-stick goodies and concerts at the Pacific Amphitheatre get a lot of attention from fair visitors, but Canfield sang the praises of everything else the fair offers.He recalled watching the judges scrutinize all of the contest entries for art, crafts, food, wine and other hobbies.
"It's really fascinating to watch and try to understand how serious that judging is and how professional and educated they are," Canfield said.
Some new attractions this year include a collection of original movie posters on display in an exhibit that also mimics the experience of shopping for videotapes at stores like Blockbuster.
"With each of those movie posters the originals were hand painted -- it wasn't a photograph," he said. "It was painted art and printed from there, so what they have is a collection of the original art from a lot of these movies like `Back to the Future' and `Star Wars.' "
Visitors will also see the movie posters for the various films about Superman as well, he added.As for fair food, Canfield noted, "I have had a chance to taste some very incredible jams," but one of the big draws this year may be bacon cotton candy on a pork belly stick.
"I can't think of anything better," he said, adding there's also a bacon-wrapped carnitas burrito."I'm in," he said.
His wife is "very excited to get the deep-fried Oreo," he said.
Canfield said he was also looking forward to seeing rocker George Thorogood begin the live concerts with classic rockers Foghat on Friday.
"I remember seeing Foghat awhile back and I love George Thorogood," Canfield said.
Another popular act is sure to be the tributes to Abba and the Bee Gees, Canfield said.
The tribute band industry is growing in popularity, Canfield said.
"It's sometimes the only way to see that music performed live because those groups and that talent aren't performing anymore," he said.
"People relate to all of that music that those folks put out," he said. "And the tribute bands make it accessible for everyone."
Canfield recalled meeting some of the most iconic musicians over the years running convention sites such as Harry Wayne Casey of KC and the Sunshine Band fame. He's looking forward to seeing Los Angeles indie pop band Fitz and the Tantrums, which he first saw at Coachella.
"I think they're great," he said.
As a classical music fan he's also eagerly anticipating Beck performing with the Pacific Symphony."And Blues Travelers, the Gin Blossoms and the Spin Doctors -- that's right in my wheelhouse of music," he said.
One of the best things about the fair, he added, is how visitors can also see and meet up and coming artists on the community stages. Visitors can also meet the drivers in the Action Sports arena, he said.
"If you go see monster trucks at Angel Stadium you don't get those same opportunities," he said. "You can go to the zoo and see the animals, but they're away from you and behind the fence. Where do you get to stand right next to them and pet them?"
The carnival will feature new rides such as the Aviator, Soundstorm, the Royal Wheel and Frog Hopper. The Royal Wheel is a "massive Ferris wheel" that visitors can see illuminated as the drive by, he said.
Canfield advised fairgoers that attendance will continue to be capped each day as has been the tradition since the coronavirus pandemic so tickets must be ordered online and are not available at the gate anymore. Fair officials found that visitors enjoyed the smaller crowds.
"What we're trying to do is preserve the great guest experience for everyone, and we have an accessible event where everyone who wants to come can get in, but folks just have to plan," Canfield said.
"Now you can pick your day and know that when you get there it will be a good experience and you won't have such a large crowd."
Gone are the days of attempting to break attendance records, he said.
"We think we want to measure our success through guest satisfaction and positive guest experience and make sure everyone who comes has a great time," Canfield said.
Canfield also noted how affordable the fair is with general admission $13 for Wednesdays and Thursdays and $15 for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets for seniors and youths 6 to 12 are $7 a day. Parking is $15 for cars and motorcycles and $30 for buses and limousines.
Tickets purchased or shows at the Pacific Amphitheatre, the Hangar and Action Sports Arena include same-day fair admission at no extra cost.
