The Solano County Fair said Tuesday that attendance for the five days ended Sunday was up 5 percent over last year.

Preliminary figures from the Vallejo fair showed 52,454 customers. Tallying is not yet final, and there are still six days of horse racing ahead.

Joe Barkett, general manager of the fair, said he was very pleased with the rise in attendance.

B.B. King played at the fair's opening, as did country artist Craig Morgan and R&B performer Keith Sweat.

The fair featured livestock shows as well as competitions for cakes, quilts and artwork, as well as a petting zoo, Chinese acrobats and demonstrations by local nonprofits.

Horse racing starts tomorrow at 12:35 p.m.

The fair was started in 1946.
