If you see a lot of kids not in school today, this is why...

It's student day today at the Florida State Fair, which means Hillsborough County schools have the day off!

Not just that, but they also get a free ticket to the fair.

Middle and high school students will need to show their school photo I.D. in order to gain free admission.

Students who plan to use the ticket after 6 p.m. must be with an adult.

Tampa deputies are preparing for the busy day at the fair too, by having extra officers on-site.
