"The History of the Florida State Fair" by Kelley

The History of The Florida State Fair
            The Florida State Fair is a very big event in Florida. It comes to town every year in February at the Florida State Fairgrounds. It is one of the most popular festivals. The fair has been going on since 1904. The only few years that it hasn’t come to town was during World War II. The current size of the fairground is 355 acres. There is no wonder it seems so big when you’re walking around there.
            There are so many amazing things to do there! One of my favorite things to do there is the huge yellow gunny-sack slide! It’s so much fun and it has been the highlight of the fair for me since I was little. Another one of my favorite rides is the flying swing ride. It’s so cool to be up that high! I also really enjoy the miniature bungee jump on the trampoline. It costs a little extra but it’s totally worth it. My favorite part is doing a lot of back flips. Another great part of the fair is the food. There are so many different things to eat and they even have stuff like cotton candy.
The fair is such a great way to start off every year and is super fun!
