Good afternoon, want to clarify a couple things, had a couple texts and calls already.. The Sweethearts of the Florida State Fair is a jackpot style show (not terminal) However, you will show from a pen.. NOT your trailer. This show is in conjunction with the State Fair going on, there is way to many people to park and show off trailers. The horse stalls are just if you would like to pay for your own place to put your tack, chairs, and personal items etc.. there is a common tack area too if you do not want a stall for your belongings.
Health Certificates please have on hand State as the Florida Ag inspectors will be their checking. Reminder look at State regulations ALL swine breeding age 6 months or older must have all appropriate paperwork as well and your vet can assist you with that. Any other questions please feel free to reach out to Ashley or I. Can't wait to see everyone.

Good afternoon, Sweethearts of the Sunshine State Exhibitors!

We rent horse stalls to store your tack (not your pig) for $30. That covers all days you are here. Stalls are approximately 11’ x 11’.

At the link or the QR Code below, you can reserve 1 or more stalls and pay for them online.

All payments will be due on the form. No cash will be accepted.

You will be assigned stalls, but you do have the option of picking your top 5 choices (see attached map). Please make sure you reserve your stall on or before Feb. 11th.

You only have half of the barn due to pygmy goats having the other half. Free space will be provided on the west end of the Farm Credit Show Ring tent for those who do not want to purchase a stall or if stalls are sold out. I have 42 stalls so they are first-come, first-served.

Contact me with any questions. IT IS NOT MANDATORY TO RENT A STALL…OPTIONAL ONLY!

Looking forward to a great 2026 Florida State Fair and we will see you soon!!!
