The State Fair is known for food and animal husbandry, but there's spiritual husbandry, too. Catholics received communion at the Family Fair Stage in Baldwin Park on Sunday, while Muslims prayed Friday evening outside the Dairy Building. Christian performers preached to worshipers young and old. A ministry handed out free Bibles amid the din of rides, games and food stalls.
