Who should skip it
Mud bothers you — it's a working farm site, and rain-or-shine means exactly that.
The move
The joust grandstand fills 30 minutes before each tilt; stake out seats early and shop between shows.
Getting there
Field parking at the farm, free; the access road backs up after 10am on Saturdays.
One thing worth knowing
The fair moved to the purpose-built Woods of Mallaranny site to escape the fairgrounds asphalt — the oak canopy is now the show's co-star.
Make it an outing
Pair with a sunset stop at Myakka River State Park on the drive back.
