MIAMI – Call it late or call it early but The Miami-Dade County Youth Fair is back!
Fans are used to seeing the Miami-Dade County Youth Fair in Westchester in March.
“The Youth Fair is one of largest single events in Dade County every year, the 34th largest fair in the United States,” said the organizer.
Although with Covid ruining everything so the organizers thought.
“Wouldn’t it be better for the community to enjoy a safe event on the backside of the vaccine,” said the organizer.
Some other obvious pluses.
“The weather is going to be phenomenal and we also have Thanksgiving during the fair,” said the organizer.
The organizers for the County Youth fair thought really big for 2021. Instead of a giant wheel they made a observation wheel.
“You can see the bay and the everglades at the same time from the top of that wheel,” said the organizer.
That’s 150 feet up.
“I don’t like heights, but it’s a lot easier for me to get in there when the doors close and there’s air conditioning and I’m with my friends,” said the organizer.
Now the devilishly delicious desserts.
“I may have tried a few samples,” said the organizer.
Some of the treats that are at the fair is a barbecue Sunday.
“Baked beans, pulled pork and macaroni and cheese. Coleslaw, a jalapeno popper, and we take cream cheese and brisket we roll them in bacon and brown sugar and smoke it for a couple hours. Finally we drizzle it with some barbecue sauce,” said chef from Dickson.
Another fair treat is a lemon poppy-seed funnel cake.
“It’s excellent. Usually I eat lemon poppy seed muffins so it did kind of taste like that,” said little girl.
Considering that the fair will run through Dec. 5. there’s even a holiday park.
“It’s winter in Miami so your churro y chocolate. You have your churros there, you have cookies. On black Friday Santa shows up, so the kids can come in and take their pictures with Santa. Drop off their letters to Santa, we do have a mailbox for the North Pole,” said the organizer.
The Fair won’t be gone for long ether as they plan to come back in the spring once again.
