I seriously loathe the Florida State fair.
But a local Catholic church throughs a medium sized fair every year called the November fest. It's pretty clean, and has fun rides and the local dance studios put on shows in the big tent. Everyone looks forward to it.
But that's really sad about the llama in the cage. I went to the florida state fair a few years ago and they had a florida panther in an extrmely small cage. Well, it was a tiny bit better than a cage because it had like a fake rock formation and a tree, but still really sad. A kid through a water bottle at the poor baby and I went over to him and started screaming and yelling about how lovely those creatures are and how there were only 60 left in the whole world and how would he like to have trash thrown at him blah blah blah.
Yeah, that infuriated me.
