If you are looking for some good old family fun while you’re in Naples, Florida, look further than The Collier County Fair. It’s an annual fair with activities in all months of the year plus special events. This is a great place to take the kids with you. Since it’s a county fair you can expect livestock such as cows, sheep, goat and pigs, there’s even a fishing club that will make an appearance. There is even a car demolition derby where cars smash get smashed to smithereens. Aside from the rough fun, there will be fundraising events for charities such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation and others such as the Making Life “Fair” event.
One of the things that will surely and instantly attract people in this event is the barbecue party. The event has a feature that they call Big Swamp Smoke Off. Sponsored by a private vendor, this is a contest where the best cooks battle it out in a barbecue contest to which a set of professional judges would determine who bags the prize. There will also be craft beer tasting that is so popular among everybody. There’s also a Christmas tree sale where you can find trees of different sizes for the holidays. All this while the highlight of the event which is the livestock are all being auctioned and sold and there will be lots of animals around. Cattle, swine, lamb, even rabbits are present. This kind of event is a great opportunity for farmers out there to replenish or perhaps expand their livestock for their farms, and also, this can be an opportunity for little kids to learn more about and appreciate the role of animals in people’s lives. Aside from all these, the fair also features country music on stage featuring national country singers and bands. Many of these artists in the lineup are very easily recognized by people who follow country music. What makes this country fair so packed and complete is that The Collier County Fair even has a Halloween themed event. This is great for the kids and also the scaredey-cat adult – really makes the hair of the back of your necks stand up. However, if you’re into some metal crushing act the demolition derby is something you’d surely be interested about. Smashing and pounding, metal grinding against metal is an awesome trip for many of the people who find themselves in the fair, especially great as father and son bonding. Then there are the fundraising events for school kids and even kids who suffer terrible illnesses, so this fair is for a good cause too and brings good news for everyone.
