The season is upon us and the Indiana State Fair is just ahead, which means delicious delights served up. From sweets to fresh veggies and tenderloins, the Fair will serve some tasty selections starting on opening day, August 2nd - 18th.
Sweets to sample will include Blueberry Cheesecake Stuffed Elephant Ear from The Bakerman. They also offer Elephant Ear favorites like those stuffed with Apple, Cherry, or Peach filling.
While thinking about Elephant Ear's, Urick Concessions has a Cookie Butter Elephant Ear, a new twist to the favorite fair food with creamy cookie butter, and topped with crushed Biscoff cookies.
A popular refreshment not to miss is the Boba Lemonade Shake-Up by Indiana Ribeye. Look for fresh squeezed lemonade shakeups with various flavors of Boba.
Visit the Hook’s Drugstore Museum for “The Triple C Float” - a yummy Chocolate Caramel Coffee Float - topped with whipped cream, a cherry and drizzled with caramel sauce.
The Indiana State Fair runs from August 2 - 18th, and that gives us plenty of time to try the Blue Ribbon Blueberry Milkshake by the American Dairy Association as well.
These are a few of the mouth-watering culinary creations fairgoers can sample this summer. The Fair is also cooking up:
- Aloha Hot Honey Chicken Nachos by Urick Concessions
- BBQ Totchos by Wagner Food Services
- Bison Smashburger Taco by Red Frazier Food Truck
