Faircracker FALL 2020 Spookyville Celebrated in a new and Different Way
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.—The organizers of Spookyville, which takes place annually at Yesteryear Village at the South Florida Fairgrounds, created a way for the little ones to still get their Halloween fill in a safe and fun way. Because of COVID-19 concerns, Spookyville is handled as
a drive-through event from 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, October 23-31, at the South Florida Fairgrounds. Known as one of the best family-friendly Halloween events in the Palm Beaches,
the event operates much like the Fair Eats Drive Thru events that the fair offered in July and September. The difference is that this drive-thru comes alive with entertain- ment, not-so-spooky décor, and costumed volunteers offering treats and big smiles to the children as they pass by in their cars. “We encourage the kids to still dress up in their favorite Halloween costumes for a
safe and socially distanced drive through while trick or treating,” said Lorie Stinson, the fair’s exhibits and special events manager. The cost is $25 per vehicle. All passengers are safely wearing seat
belts. Children enjoy a slow cruise as they see friendly faces, familiar songs, Halloween vignettes, actors, dancers, and lots of candy, while staying in the safety of their car the entire time. “Your young ones will

leave safely and soundly with smiling faces and a trick-or-treat bag,” added Stinson. After the Spookyville ride, families can take advantage of
Fair Eats & Treats, too, featuring fair food and sweets available for purchase.
Spookyville sponsors include Coca-Cola, Storm Tight Windows, Florida Dairy Farmers and Baptist Health South Florida. WHAT MAKES SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR UNIQUE?
All-new and different activities and experiences each year! Since 1993, the themed expositions produced every year dur- ing the South Florida Fair are one of the most popular attractions of the 17-day event. April 22, 2020 marked the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and we decided to emphasize the importance of this special
day and the planet by declaring “An Earthly A-Fair” as our 2021 theme. The South Florida Fair will be held Jan. 15 – 31, 2021. “Every year we look to implement new changes to ‘green’ our fair and facility,” said South Florida Fair President & CEO Vicki Chouris. Last year, the fair recycled cardboard, asked the vendors to eliminate plastic, including straws and other service items,
and worked with Tellus Products in Belle Glade, which converts leftover sugarcane fiber into disposable tableware, such as containers, plates and bowls.” The 2021 annual event – January 15-31- featuring “An Earthly A-Fair” themed exposition, will be ultimately green. We
want to show our visitors that small changes in how we live can make a huge impact on our earth. These efforts will be complemented with activities, entertainment, interactive and educational exhibits about climate
change, green initiatives, endangered species, protection of the environment, clean air, water conservation, the im- portance of agriculture and more. With four stages of music and entertainment, world-class illusions show daily, an award-winning agriculture and live-
stock program featuring over 1,000 exhibitors from more than 30 Florida counties, a historic Yesteryear Village, and more than 200 rides, games and attractions, the South Florida Fair is truly a place where families make memories and traditions begin.
