Went to the Miami-Dade County Youth Fair with Mr. S, my sis, some friends and their kids. Tacky people in tacky clothes, greasy foods, saw live farm animals, an ice skating show, school kid's exhibits of crafts, writing, etc., a variety of vendor booths and, of course, rides.

The fair has changed since I was growing up. The park was a big dust field and now it is all paved and walkable without getting all full of dust. Though, there is a lesser focus on the "youth' part of the fair than it used to. The focus used to be on the talents of youth achievements in different categories and displaying them for the public (including dance and music). Now it is more on food, shows, rides and how much people are willing to pay to play and win a stuffed animal.

Well, no matter, the "poor man's Disney World" is still fun and will continue to amuse the masses for a long time to come...

(The video is of the ride called the "Fire Ball".....yes, we did ride it...)
