so i have this little resource tap at work who gives me lots of little insights into miami living. she's too cute and is always like, you have to go here, you have to go there. and they always turn out to be these amazing little gems that noone knows about. well i have to say mrs. alina jones, you've pulled through once more.
she told me about the miami-dade county youth fair. like true country girl fashion i LOVE youth fairs. and luckily, christy comes from the glorious state of wisconsin where they too indulge in this gloriousness. so i convinced her to go with my last night with our sights set on some amazing fair food. what we found was soo much more.
this youth fair put miff co to shame. even grange fair could compare. it just kept going and going and going. they have hundreds of rides including a real rollercoaster, 'doppellooping.' which we happened to schmooze the little teen carnies into letting us ride in the front and it was amazing. i was so impressed for it being a fair ride.
then there was the food. ohhhh the food. first and foremost they had these stands everywhere with roast corn on open fire grills and it couldve been the most amazing sweet corn i've eaten. then christy and i divided and conquered. first pulled pork sandwich, then chili cheese fries, the corn, then milkshakes, then hot sausage sandwich, and finally onto a funnel cake. we probably ate about a weeks worth of fair food in two hours. good thing we rode the rollercoaster early.
this didn't even scratch the surface. there was a mardi gras parade. numerous live shows from ice skating, shark shows, acrobatics, and the 4-H exhibits. it was just a truly amazing fair.
and while this fair was much more multicultural than the county fairs at home with the arepas and massive amounts of meat piled everywhere, it really reminded me, and made me miss home.
