A Day at the Florida State Fair

On a cold and blustery winter day- yes, we have those in Florida too from time to time- we ventured off to the Florida State Fair in Tampa. Considering the weather conditions, the place was packed. In large part we went to see the animals and the farming end of things but it was a disappointment in that regard for the most part. They did have a Florida panther and black bear there to see, but in truth, they are a lot more fun to see in the wild- which we have, though many who lived here a lot longer than we have did not. There were more food booths than I have ever seen at any fair anywhere and the steak-on-a-stick was the prize of the day @ 8 bucks a stick so I’m some glad it was tender and tasty. Considering what we could have eaten there, we done good!
