The award-winning Alameda County Fair is back for another year. In 2009 the event concert lineup features Charlie Daniels Band, En Vogue, BJ Thomas and many great acts.

Where to stay: When visiting Pleasanton, you'll find around 16 hotels. One of the least expensive is the Best Western, normally well under $100 per night. A host of mid-range hotels in Pleasanton include popular amenities such as affordability and extended stay suites. But we always prefer the chain hotels: Hyatt, Hilton Pleasanton at the Club and  Four Points by Sheraton.
