Get Away
Hot Ticket: Food, folks and fun
By LOGAN NEILL
Published April 14, 2005
The Hernando County Fair and Youth Livestock Show, which runs through April 24 in Brooksville, offers the perfect slice of small-town Americana. No doubt, pie-eating contests, greased pig chases and youngsters parading prized livestock make for a heartwarming experience. However, this year's fair also includes three days of Professional Cowboy Association rodeos Friday, Saturday and Sunday, a full-fledged demolition derby (April 23), a monster truck show (April 22-23) and a concert by classic Southern rockers the Marshall Tucker Band (April 24). The midway opens at 5 p.m weekdays and at noon on Saturdays and Sundays. Daily fair admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 4 to 12. Kids under 3 are admitted free. There is an additional charge for the rodeo, demolition derby and monster truck show, as well as the Marshall Tucker Band concert. (352) 796-4552 or www.hernandocountyfair.com
