Miami-Dade County Youth Fair & Ex- position Opens March 13-30, 2014 New Programs,
New Entertainment & More! Each March, more than 575,000 people attend the
largest and most popular event of its kind in South Florida, The Miami- Dade County Youth Fair & Exposition. The Youth Fair, as it is known to most, will take place March 13 – 30, 2014, offering 18 days of scrumptious Fair foods, thrilling rides, youth agricultural programs and education, stu- dent exhibits, games, plus concerts and live entertainment. A portion of the proceeds from The Youth Fair are donated back to Miami-Dade Coun- ty schools and students, continuing The Youth Fair’s pledge to support local educational programs, showcase student achievement, promote student athletic competitions and promote South Florida agriculture. For the first time ever, the Youth Fair will offer POP (Pay-One-Price)
Ride Cards for the weekends, allowing unlimited rides for one price. The cost is $20 when purchased in advance and will be valid for any one-day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday, during the 18 days of The Youth Fair. Fairgoers purchasing them at the gate during the run of The Youth Fair may purchase them for $25 on weekdays and $35 on week- ends, making it a huge savings for fairgoers that purchase them in ad- vance. Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase the Express Access Pass allowing them to board all their favorite rides in an expedited manner through the Express Lane. The Express Access Pass will be priced at $15 each and is available on-site and online. Advance sales are a key component for The Youth Fair, with more than 500 fundraising ac- counts participating in 2013, totaling more than $1.8 million in advance sales. “We have listened to our guests. They have told us resoundingly that
they truly enjoy the convenience and value of our Pay-One Price Ride Cards and wanted us to extend them into our six weekend operating
days,” said Bob Hohenstein, President & CEO. In another first, The Youth Fair announced that it will be Senior Day everyday! All adults 65 and bet- ter will be admitted FREE every day, all day. Some of the planned entertainment: Ma’Ceo presented by Carvallo Equestrian Arts - This Vegas-quality
