FLORIDA STATE FAIR

Wanted to share some old pictures from the Florida State Fair in Tampa.  My family and I went there quite a few years ago, for a first time visit.  There was lots to see and do.  Enjoyed the day!  If you have never been to your state fair it is something nice to do, at least once.  The one here in Florida is held in Feburary of each year.  Hopefully we'll get to go back again one day!

The Old House - They had a whole section of how FL was way back then.
There was the store, the house, the outhouse, the school house and the church

The One Room School House
There was lots of food, music, entertainment, a tree man, a stunt airplane show, a flower show, animals, contests, demonstrations, variety shows, things for sale, fruits and vegetables, horticulture, art, clogging, and so on.  It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot about our state.
