Our state fair offers a great blend of entertainment on the grandstand, incredible horse shows, and a wide array of the best arts and crafts the Midwest has to offer. Still, one of the things that we enjoy the most is the innovation the local food community puts on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, the state fair has become known for vendors pushing the envelope when putting food on a stick. With so much to do, there is little time to waste on taking in a sit-down meal. That makes food on a stick the choice of most fair patrons. We&#8217;ve seen quite a few creative offerings in the past, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Any battered and deep-fried candy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sausages and corn-dogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sushi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fried olives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the food on a stick doesn&#8217;t stop at deep-fried cuisine. Desserts such as s&#8217;mores, waffle-wrapped ice cream balls, and other sweet items are readily available. Some of our local craft brewers have also found inventive ways for fairgoers to purchase sampler flights on a stick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mn-state-fair-food-safety-certification-note\"><strong>MN State Fair<\/strong> <strong>Food Safety Certification Note<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We just said we&#8217;re taking a break from <span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">food safety certification training<\/span>. However, we feel obligated to point out that fair attendees should know that every Minnesota State Fair food vendor must comply with the same food safety requirements as year-round establishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the fair isn&#8217;t just about inventive deep-fried cuisine. There&#8217;s also the regionally famous canning and preserve competition, as well as the always intense and mouth-watering baked goods contest that has entry levels for all age groups and any baking style you could imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re looking forward to seeing what creative cuisine on a stick vendors create this year and which baked good takes home the best in show. What&#8217;s your favorite food moment at the Minnesota State Fair?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s August again, meaning it&#8217;s just about time for the Minnesota State Fair.
