Alejandra Zuluaga, a senior at Wiregrass Ranch High School (WRHS), shares her thoughts on the Florida State Fair.

“I have never been, but I plan on going this year. It looks like a lot of fun, especially all of the rides they will have this year. I am also excited to see the shows,” says Zuluaga.

The Florida State Fair never fails to satisfy guests, and everyone is encouraged to attend!
