Are you thinking about the Florida State Fair yet? OK, right, Thanksgiving leftovers, Christmas tree, we get it, but still, you should totally be thinking about the fair today, because the Florida State Fair is offering a Cyber Monday deal: Get admission and an "Any Day Ride" armband for $25 (yes, the Florida State Fair Authority also has a $10 ride arm band, but that one excludes weekends and President's Day.) The sale starts at 10 a.m. today and lasts only as long as there are armbands left (the Florida State Fair will only make a limited number available).

The Florida State Fair runs Feb. 7-Feb. 18 and includes a midway, deep-fried everything and the typical unusual fair-style entertainment, which this year includes the Hollywood Racing Pigs (featuring Notorious PIG and Kim Kardashi-ham), the All-Star Stunt Dog Splash and a demolition derby. Uh, not all at once, fortunately.

Here's where to get that ride armband/admission ticket for $25.
