In a sign that summer is near, one of the first county fairs of the season is up and running in the East Bay.

ANTIOCH -- The Contra Costa County Fair is back open for its 88th year. While it has all the traditional activities, one thing is different: A new policy to make sure anyone under 18 has a chaperone.This policy was put into place last year on the last day of the fair after several fights broke out. The fair board made it official in the off season to continue enforcing the policy for all four days of the event.

Brengle says the fair isn't seeing the large after-school crowd but something had to be done to keep this fair an enjoyable experience for everyone.'We were seeing a lot of teenagers basically just getting dropped off and had nothing to do but cause some problems so we wanted it to feel safe for everybody coming to the fair,' he said.The chaperone policy is getting mixed reviews among the teens at the fair.
