Eddie Cora, president of Youth Fair: “Why stop there? They’ll put bacon, they’ll put everything else on it. We come to a fair for food. It’s real simple, you come to Coral Way and 109th [Avenue], come in through gate two, you drive up here. It’s like any drive-in. Look at the menu, order, you’re gonna pull forward, and deliver your food straight to your car.”
You can also get food on foot.
Eddie Cora: “There’s going to be a line, so you can read the menu, place your order. Everyone’s going to be six feet apart. Tables are about 10, 12 feet off center, everything is done with the safety of the public in mind, but at the end of the day, it’s also done so we can have fun.”
Customers were sure to at least get a taste of the fair even if they have to drive-thru.
Christina Alverran, customer: “It was very disappointing, although we know it was a must. There’s no diet right now. We’re going to come enjoy one time a year. We’re going to go for it.”
All staff members and vendors working the event will be following safety measures in compliance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines. For more information, click here.
