And my last weekend to eat the perfect fair meal. I\u2019ve been dreaming about a turkey leg, roasted corn and a big Coke to wash it down. It\u2019s simple, but exactly what I want from the Fair!<br \/>\nSo far, this weekly posting has mostly covered savory items. For this last blog, we are going to entirely devote ourselves to the best part of every meal\u2014dessert. The Fair really shines in this department, with many quirky and traditional treats. Here are a few you will want to make sure you sample in our last weekend.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/gelato.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3506\" title=\"gelato\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/gelato-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"172\" \/><\/a>Dr.      Bob\u2019s Handcrafted Ice Cream<\/strong>: Did      you know that Dr. Bob\u2019s makes their ice cream right here on the      fairgrounds? It is some of the best ice cream you will ever have. Flavors      include Tahitian Vanilla, Brown Sugar Pecan, Dulce de Leche, Dark      Chocolate and many more ingenious combinations. You can get it in the Wine      and Spirits Marketplace and over in FairView Farms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maple      Bacon Donut from Texas      Donuts<\/strong>: This is one of our      wackier desserts. You might need to develop a spirit of adventure to taste      it, but you will not be disappointed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Funnel      Cake<\/strong>: Always a classic. And now      they\u2019ve gotten real fancy with what you can get on it too. I\u2019m a powdered      sugar purist, but you might also want to try it topped with strawberries,      chocolate sauce, whip cream, honey, cinnamon and more.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/shave-ice.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3503\" title=\"shave ice\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/shave-ice-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"151\" \/><\/a>Handmade      Gelato<\/strong>: It\u2019s called Legendary      Gelato and we think that fits. You can watch it be made before your eyes.      Or just marvel at the stuff piled high and swirled into delicious-looking      displays. They also have the world\u2019s largest waffle cone (per the sign!).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shave      Ice<\/strong>: Now, we know there are      heated battles over which kind of shave ice is the best. Luckily there are      several stands at the fair for you to choose, including Hawaiian Shave      Ice, Jamaican Shave Ice and just your regular shave ice and sno cones. The      funnest part is you customize your own flavor creation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Indian      Fry Bread<\/strong>: This international      delicacy is consumed in large quantities by the office staff. Cinnamon      sugar and strawberry cheesecake are their most popular flavors, but      they\u2019ve got many more to choose from.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you have a favorite dessert at the Fair?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s our last Fair Food Friday!
