The Big Fresno Fair is always a great first date choice and what better way to remember your first date than with a photo in the famous black and white photo booths! Meet Larry and Margaret Strauss, they went on their first date to the Fair in 1965 and haven’t missed a year since. Every year, they’d take a picture in the photo booth but this year had to be a little different. To keep their beautiful tradition going, Margaret and Larry’s daughter Jennifer Cardillo, took them t...o Drive-Thru Eats where she revealed her second surprise, a scheduled photo booth session with a company in Fresno so they could continue to add to their collection of memories together! Check out their love story and 55 years’ worth of timeless memories together at The Big Fresno Fair. The Big Fresno Fair is more than an annual event; it is part of people’s lives, their traditions and memories. Thank you for sharing your story with us Larry & Margaret Strauss. We hope we get to memorialize your 56th year together next year too! . . #2020BFF #BigFresnoFair #FresnoFair #FresnoFairgrounds #BigTimesAreBack #WeAreHere #FairStrong #StayHealthyHappyHopeful #fairlovestory
