  1. The Dade County Fair is an integral part of our community and brings all segments together throughout the year. The numerous events held there, in addition to the annual Fair, serve all ages, , all ethnic groups, , all geographical areas.and it is a tradition enjoyed and passed on from one generation to another. The continued attack on the Fair by deep pockets at FIU is disingeuous, FIU will never be satisfied no matter how much land they have, they’ll want more. The Dade County Fair has a valid contract with Miami-Dade County that should be honored.
