Florida Fair News The 99th Manatee County Fair took
place January 15th through the 25th and the theme this year was “Put Some Ag in Your Culture.” The attendance for the fair was our second highest in fair history at 167,400. The weather during the fair was fantastic with some rain during overnight hours. The Youth Livestock Show was a great success with a
record number of Swine and Dairy projects exhibited along with other animal areas. Entertainment highlights were the concerts of Maddie and Tae and Rhonda Vincent. Oth- er great entertainment during the fair was provided by The Dennis Lee Show, Rocket the Robot, Steve the Pretty Good, The Tricky Dog Show, Yesterdayze, Kids Pedal Trac- tor Pulls, Fame Racing R/C Racing Experience and The Wolves of America. Next year, the Manatee County Fair will celebrate its
100th year and preparations are underway for the Centen- nial fair which runs January 14-24, 2016! Below Dennis Lee and Dan West have a little fun before the gates open.
