From its first days of horse racing, baking contests and a spelling bee, the Alameda County Fair has become a full-blown, three-week event complete with roller coasters, animal exhibits and the all-too-familiar scent of funnel cake. The fair turns 100 this year -- and at 95 years and counting, Clark Redeker is nearly as old as the fair itself. We catch up with him at the fairgrounds.
