Why it is “The Best Time of the Year”

Why do you think the Florida State Fair is “The Best Time of the Year”? Here is what the Florida State Fair’s Facebook Fans said.
“The Florida State Fair is the best time of the year since you can spend a fun day with family and friends. You've got rides, food, shopping, entertainment, animals, agriculture, art and some much more! There is no better time and value anywhere else then the Florida State Fair”.-Gary C Riggs Jr.
“It’s the best time of the year for all your new family members to be able to experience the fair, this year my children ages 5 -4 - 3 are coming along to enjoy the rides, animals, food, and music. We love the state fair”!!-Jamie Wilson
“Sometimes you want to be a responsible adult. Other times you want to eat things on sticks and ride in the Batcopter. It's the best time of year because it's the best time to let out your inner squealing five year old who just wants to wear footie pajamas and eat candy for breakfast, no matter what your actual age is”.- Dora Breckinridge
“For me and my twin sister, it's the best time of the year because it always falls around our birthday! We gather all our friends and go every year to celebrate our birthday. There's no better way to celebrate than with all sorts of rides and fried foods. No matter how old you get, it's the best reminder that everyone is still really a kid”.-Holly Hood
“It is the best time of the year because every one of ALL ages, backgrounds and lifestyles can come together to one place and have a blast! Whether you like animals, crafts, Elvis impersonators, carnival games, thrilling rides or interesting fair-unique food, you can come and share great memories at the fairgrounds every year! (Oh and it always falls on Valentine’s Day, which is really romantic!)”-Kassy Leasure
“My birthday usually corresponds with the state fair. This year will be the big 30, and we'll be celebrating going on all the rides one day and the next going to all the shows and junking out on all the delicious but bad for us fair food! I couldn't believe how much there is to see and do at the fair! Such a great value! Always something to do for ANYONE in your family! (young and old alike!)”-Allison Whitcomb
“So much to love! Fun rides, fantastic animals, and the food - we literally eat our way through the Fair! We spend hours there! Plus, it's close to home! All-around WINNER”!-Diane Dunphy Radtke
“Going to the Florida State Fair has been a tradition in my family for as long as I can remember! Even now that I'm married and living away from Tampa I am still meeting my family for the annual tradition, I can't wait”!-Cristina Rodriguez
