The St. Lucie
County Fair
fittingly
kicks off its
50th anniversary
celebration with a
win in the Best Fair
on Treasure Coast
category. The annual
event put on by the
St. Lucie County
Fair Association
is attended by
thousands of people each year. The fair explodes into
action on Feb. 27 and ends March 8. The fairgrounds,
about 5 miles west of Interstate 95, sparkle at night
with the lights from rides, giving it a special kind of
magic reserved for the best of county fairs. This year’s
fair, with the slogan “A 50-year Love a Fair,” is hosting
a special competition for couples celebrating their
50th wedding anniversaries. The winning entry gets
a party for up to 30 people, a cake, free admission
for themselves and guests and a renewal of vows if
requested. Each year, the fair offers a large midway
filled with rides, agricultural exhibits of produce and
livestock, a home arts and crafts building, displays
created by school classes, all the traditional fair food,
clowns and fun for the kids and live entertainment
each evening. Home arts and crafts includes
traditional fair items such as quilt displays, but families
can also enjoy wood-crafting by experts who are
happy to demonstrate their work and tell a few stories
about it. Dedicated fair-goers won’t miss this year’s fair.
And anyone who has never been to a county fair is in
for a traditional treat as St. Lucie County shows off its
agricultural roots.
