Faces of the Fair Part 2

Who goes to a county fair these days? Apparently a lot of people—140,000 attended last year’s Sarasota County Fair, according to its website. While the swirling lights of the rides attract our attention, it’s the people who enjoy those rides that make these fairs memorable.
