Get $5 Food Tickets for the South Florida Fair With The MegaSaver Pack

It's January, and for Palm Beach County residents that can only mean one thing: the South Florida Fair is back.

And -- if you're food lovers like us -- it also means it's time to chow down on all manner of fat-laden, deep-fried, sugary treats. This week the fair will take over the South Florida Fairgrounds beginning Friday and runs through Sunday, Februray 1. As usual, the two-week-long fair will features games, rides, concerts, pig races, animal exhibits -- and plenty of freaky fair fare from fried Oreos to chocolate-covered ants.

If all that sounds like your idea of a good time, you might want to consider purchasing tickets now. Even though the South Florida Fair ticket prices are down $5 apiece from previous years, the MegaSaver packets still present mega savings for those who plan to bring the entire family or make multiple trips.
