The Fair Quite An Affair!

The Miami-Dade County Fair has been running the past two weeks. Tuesday evening a group of us visited the Fair grounds to see for ourselves what all the fuss was about.

It is true what we've always said back in Cape Town - Americans do everything bigger and better!
It was shades of Malmesbury's Plaas Fair, or Calvinia's Vleisfees for that matter - hundredfold. An awesome experience.


Pic: Surprises lurked behind every corner. There in the farming section, I came accross a fellow South African - this fellow, called a "Poelpetater" in old Afrikaans ("spotted chicken", derived from the French Hugenotes that called it a Puel petain.) . Also known as the common guineau fowl.
