We are in full Fall mode and more than looking forward to crisp autumn evenings, hot chocolate, football and the holiday season. For those of you who are suffering from PFDS (Post-Fair Depression Syndrome) don’t fear! The rides may be down, the exhibits packed away and the deep-fried food devoured, but there are still plenty…
Food Competitions Come to a Close
From the first weekend of the Fair we have had non-stop food competitions, from the Ghirardelli chocolate creations to cupcake mixtures, from grilled cheese recipes to BBQ cook-offs, the list goes on and on. Sadly, the fun had to end this afternoon but we had some fun with pizza and salad! Peggy Linberg from Upland…
We Can't Get Enuf – Another Extra Hour
We love you so much, and we don’t want to see you go! Yes, today is our last day but we want to continue the party for a little while longer – we are, again, staying open an extra hour today. The Fair will close at 11 p.m. tonight. As I said yesterday, that’s one…

Last Weekend – Stay a Little Later
Well, it’s the last weekend of the 2012 Fair. It’s been great, but we still have 2 days to blow this puppy out of the water with the best food, carnival and attractions. As an added bonus so you can get that last deep-fried red velvet funnel cake in or one last spin on Disk-O,…
Fair Food Friday: A Deep-Fried Finale
No Fair season would be complete without a blog post dedicated to all things deep-fried! You won’t find this much food craziness anywhere outside the Fair and certainly not in any restaurants. It’s no secret that Chicken Charlie is the King of all things deep-fried. He has it down to an art form AND a…
The sun goes down, the stars come out… time to save!
