The Broward County Fair is more than a brightly lit midway, resplendent with rides, games, animals (two words: racing pigs) and circus folk; Its also a smorgasbord of fried delectables. Youve waited all year to stuff your cheeks with greasy elephant ears, sticky arepas, and -- if youre really lucky and God shines his sweet light from the heavens fried Coca Cola. But you must pace yourself, because today is one of the greatest days of the entire fair: Pizza Eating Contest Day. Sure, youll be given fair bucks and rosettes if youre the last man eating, but we all know the real prize: the admiration of your peer group (and subsequently, a post-victory ride on the tilt-a-whirl take that suckas!). You can sign up at the fair for this 3 p.m. event. Tickets range $7 to $30. Call 954-436-7494, or visit www.browardcountyfair.com.
