The local fair and trade market can be a very wonderful place for most kids (and kids at heart) to frolic around. Food stalls abound everywhere, some new niceties to buy and play with, a new thing to discover; it can be a whole new adventure when venturing around the festival grounds.
But as with every adventure, danger is there to hound both wary and unwary travelers. They can come in many forms, but each one is sure to deal pain to your family if you are caught unawares.
First, your local security. Florida is not the state most people would assume it to be. Every place can be a danger, and your local trade shows could be one of them. Keep your kids beside you at all times, buy a child safety leash if you can. Child safety leashes ARE not degrading, and gives your child freedom and gives you security at the same time. Do not lose your eye over the stroller or baby carriage and as much as possible, have your family or someone close go with you when out venturing into the festival.
Second, your health. Festivals go from morning to evening. Make sure to wear comfortable clothes so they don't end up sticky or smelly. You wouldn't want to attract flies and insects that would bring you more nasties. For those going to the fair when it is evening tide, a long coat would be nice to keep the warmth in and the cold out.
For the booth keepers and exhibit owners, make sure that at least two or three people man the booth at the same time. A few rascals might cause trouble or someone might steal a thing or two. That would equal to your profit being stolen. Have a comfortable uniform that is easy to wear, so in case of emergencies, your movements will not be hindered. You can never know with our times.
Be extra careful, but learn to relax as well. After all, the point of going to a festival is to enjoy your time with you and your family or loved one.
