I love the Fair. Every year, residents of Daytona Beach, Port Orange, Ormond Beach, Ponce Inlet, New Smyrna Beach, DeLand and every other city in between, decide to go to the Volusia County Fair. Our fair has become almost like Disney World. Half of the structures are permanent. And there are always concerts, a huge midway, more rides than one can ride in one trip, and the food! OMG, the food! LOL. Just make sure you don't eat a corn dog before riding the Gravitron.... been there, done that. 'Nuff said o_O
If you're in the Daytona Beach area, or anywhere in Volusia County, we have a fair that's beyond belief. This ain't your typical fair. Be prepared to feel like you're in an amusement park. The fun for this year will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 30, with the Miss Volusia County Fair contest.
On November 2, we can enjoy an amateur talent show. There are too many rides to list, and you won't believe how many animals will be on display. They're so sweet! In the video below, you'll see how hard it was for me to tear myself away from all the sweet little critters at last year's fair. But you can also see how much fun my family had on the rides as well.
So come to the Volusia County Fair! If what I've written doesn't convince you, then hopefully my video will =) This year's Fair dates are Oct. 30 to Nov. 4. Hours are Mon. - Thurs., 4:00 - 10:00 p.m., and Fri. - Sun., noon - 10:00 p.m. Admission is FREE if you're age 5 and under, $5.00 for children ages 6-12, $8.00 if you're over age 13. (Other admission discounts are available.) For more information, call 386-734-9514.

Now back to the fun stuff. You can buy your Volusia County Fair tickets, and midway bracelets online! Last year when my familly went, there was quite a line, so it's a good idea to buy your tickets in advance. You can also view the list of concerts and events online, so you and your family can plan which days or nights you want to attend. I personally like to go on the night when you can buy the sale bracelet and ride all the rides until closing time. Woo Hoo! (I know. I'm still a child.) This year, that day is Wednesday, November 5th. <=D On Nov. 5, the rides bracelet will be $15.00 instead of $20.00; and you can ride all the rides until closing!

I'll see you at the Fair!

Hi Lisa! You are really having fun with that camera, aren't you? My favorite parts were the action ride segments, but I loved the bunnies too.
Ann- I've been posting videos to You Tube for about 2 years. My camera has a lot of mileage on it =)
Hey Lisa,
Sounds like fun. So what are you doing for the talent show?
Lisa,
It looks like the whole family had a really fun time at the fair last year. Great video ma'am.
A County Fair during Halloween? Hmmmmm. That could be loads of fun.
Lisa - Wow what a ton of useful information for those in your area. You have enough data to be an economist on your local market:) It is obvious you are the local expert!
