Sarasota County Fair food or bust!

Carlos Munoz

The annual 2016 Manatee Pride Festival in Bradenton held at Bradenton's Riverwalk, pavilion and event area. A steady rain during the start of the festival did not deter about a thousand people from attending the event throughout the afternoon. (March 19, 2016; STAFF PHOTO / THOMAS BENDER)

If  a little rain didn’t dampen your spirits then you likely made it outside. Perhaps you went to the Sarasota County Fair?

First some music to put you in the fair/circus mood:

I present to you, the 80th annual Sarasota County fair!

This guy went and lived to tell about it:

How many tries did it take you to win one of those:

Just saying, but this isn’t how you’re supposed to ride the ferris wheel… kidding, kidding. They were putting the wheel of joy together.

You gotta have a sense of adventure to climb up on top of one of these, much less ride one:

Let me turn the lights out:

I’m not saying pigs are cool or anything, but this was the Race of the Century, according to this guy’s reaction:

I really wanted Tyrone to win, but Donald Rumproast took the lead at the end. (Hopefully this isn’t prophetic)? ? #PigRaces #DonaldRumproast #SarasotaCountyFair #FairAintFair #Tyrone

This is a sad rain face:

But it might as well have been a reaction to that guy’s cheering for the pigs.

Fair food!

This is what makes the fair worthwhile:

This is why I don’t ride the Tilt-a-Whirl anymore:

Spinny rides at the fair will be the death of us… #sarasotacountyfair #spinnyrides #springbreak2016 #day7 #sb2k16 #fair #wedied A photo posted by Alyssa Troy (@aly.troy_) on

It’s a bird, it’s a plane.. it’s things to do in Sarasota!

Something to do to walk off those extra calories from the fair. Two words — Sarasota Walkathon!
