Tallahassee, FL - Hundreds of vendors and volunteers prepare... For the 71st annual North Florida Fair...

Manager Mark Harvey's ready for the date.
"Expecting a big crowd think it's going to be great."

There's rides for everyone that's no bologna.
You can even ride a miniature pony.

With a top notch circus everyone should have a blast.
"We've had a lot of compliments on it in the past."

Funnel cakes, cotton candy, sausage and such

"Comfort food, healthy food... Not so much."

But the fair isn't just a place for food and fun....
The knowledge you'll gain under this tent is a ton....

With plenty of things to touch and to stare....
"I think education is a very important component of the fair."

If doing something new this year is your wish....
The fair let's you catch your very own fish.

No fair is complete without a tall Ferris wheel....
In fact many believe the admission's a steal

So what are you waiting for you've got nothing to lose.
