Just when you think it's time to take a break and unwind after the whirlwind of end-of-the year festivities, think again!
That magical time of the Manatee County Fair is upon us, and a new generation of racing pigs are no doubt traveling many long and winding roads to get to the fairgrounds on time. There's only a few days left before the gates are flung and the rides start buzzing this Thursday at 5pm. In the meantime, get ready to layer up for what promises to be another chilly fair week and most importantly, don't forget to save a little room for all of the tasty and guilt-inducing fair delicacies available on the midway!
Here are some more photos from previous years at the fair.
Grant Jefferies, a native of Palmetto and chief photographer at the Bradenton Herald, has been capturing moments in the lives of Manatee County residents for over 25 years. Images from the streets of Cuba and Haiti to the clay fields of the Little League World Series and beyond have been captured through the lenses of Jefferies' cameras. Jefferies can be found on his sailboat when his feet are not on land.
Tiffany Tompkins-Condie is in her 13th year as a photojournalist at the Bradenton Herald. Through the years she has covered crimes and carnivals; feasts and floods. Her postings will vary from events in Manatee County's back yard to the work of photojournalists covering the stories of our times from around the world. 
Paul Videla has been a staff photographer with the Bradenton Herald since 2002, when he made the move from Detroit, Mich. When he's not working,
he enjoys hunting for unique LPs at the area's plethora of thrift stores and continually works to improve his baking chops(as the records spin and his dog waits for handouts).
