Wisconsin State Fair 2012

State Fair in Wisconsin is all about Beer, Cheese and deep frying things, like beer and cheese... I really do love it here!  Aaron and I head to the fair to eat, people watch and eat.  And we are not alone.  They have something called "Crazy Grazin Day" which is awesome.  They will have a large group of vendors pick an item or two to feature on their menu at a reduced price.  It really is a great way to sample the fair food for a little cheaper.  They had everything this year ranging from 4 pieces of chocolate covered licorice for $1.00 to Spaghetti and Meatballs on a stick for $2.75 or even a fresh lemonade for $3.00. 

Unfortunately Aaron and I did not make it on Grazin Day. We did not leave hungry though.  We started off the fair this year the same way we do every year, with cheese curds. They are battered and fried and served hot and fresh.  I don't know if it is white cheddar cheese or if its mozzarella cheese but they are fantastic.




 It was a little warm this day at the fair so with cheese curds in hand we headed to get a root beer and walk the Expo Center.  This year at the fair they decided to rent little motorized scooters to people which was just great for people watching.  While walking the Expo center we hit up our favorite beef jerky stand where we got a stick of mild buffalo jerky and just minutes before Aaron grabbed a GIANT pickle from a similar stand (side note, I HATE pickels). 







After exiting the expo we made our way to the Wisconsin Products Pavilion with a quick stop at the Roasted Corn stand where Aaron enjoyed an amazing ear of corn!! Once in the Products Pavilion we had a baked potato loaded with butter, cheese, sour cream and bacon bits.  After that we needed something sweet so I got an Apple Doughnut and Aaron got an Apple Cider.  The apple doughnuts are very cake-y and rolled in cinnamon sugar.  Reminds me of fall at an apple farm in Wisconsin which makes me sooo excited for the summer to wind down!  It was a nice break from all the fried, cheesy food we ate thus far! With our apple products in hand we headed to the Coliseum to enjoy the Donkey Hitches.  This was a first for the Fair this year and I'm not so sure it will be coming back.  We didn't stay to long and continued the food journey.



We got a pork chop sandwich from the PORK stand which is always amazing.  The pork was so juicy!!  We headed out for dessert after that where I enjoyed a deep fried peanut butter and jelly on a stick which is simply a deed fried uncrustable.  It is something I look forward to every year!  Aaron got his yearly cream puff which is a HUGE fair staple for many.  The cream filling is so wonderful!  The last thing we hit up was the milk stand.  Like 6 or 8 oz of flavored milk for only 25 cents!!!  There was Strawberry, Chocolate, Vanilla, Maple.... maybe Banana idk lots off good stuff!  At least we got our exercise in that day with all the fair walking!!  If you're in town or close to town next year hit up the Wisconsin State Fair 2013 August 1st-11th!
