I love the funnel cakes and corny dogs, however with the large amount of new fried food intros each year, I no longer seem to buy my old favorites. The food has become so expensive that I only buy a few items from the new food entries of the current year. I just had a corny dog at First Monday Trade Day in Canton so I got my yearly corny dog fix.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088879057807463879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511052179322289323.post-34417146431038178752013-10-06T19:34:33.552-06:002013-10-06T19:34:33.552-06:00I love the fresh squeezed lemonade and corn dogs! ...I love the fresh squeezed lemonade and corn dogs!

It's one big block of freshly cut curls that are crunchy on the out side while the inner fries are all soft and tender.

My first experience was when I was first married and we visited the Canfield (OH) Fair. After that we regularly went to a local Ox Roast sponsored by the Kiwanis. Certainly not a fair but they did their best to provide those enticing (and not too good for you) foods. The last three years my grandaughter has played in the All Ohio State Fair Band in Columbus so we have made the trip to visit her and throughly enjoyed seeing many of the sites Earlene mentions in State Fair. Food? Whether it's a local affair or the Ohio State Fair I always seek out the funnel cake stand. Just can't pass up that fried dough smothered in powdered sugar!!<br />Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03537064991356900973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511052179322289323.post-17821231427690511892013-10-06T01:17:15.181-06:002013-10-06T01:17:15.181-06:00It has been so long since I went to a fair, I can&...It has been so long since I went to a fair, I can't remember if I ate anything.(unlike my husband who can remember every meal he ever ate, and with whom he ate it, where and what courses were served).(Of course, he can't remember where he put his glasses five minutes ago).Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511052179322289323.post-61388379512651140182013-10-05T19:01:29.098-06:002013-10-05T19:01:29.098-06:00Minnesota State Fair is my fair-one of the largest...Minnesota State Fair is my fair-one of the largest in the country. My favorite food at the fair is a raspberry malt from the dairy building. As kids our lunch was a turkey burger from the turkey producers and all the milk we could drink for a dime from the Dairy Producers.
