Food (located upper & lower grounds)
The key food highlight is serving of nearly 80 tons of uncooked and freshly-steamed corn (Saturday and Sunday Only).

Additional, food vendors include traditional fair favorites (beer, brats, burgers, funnel cakes, popcorn, cotton candy, etc.), single ear ROASTED corn on Friday night, along with ethnic favorites.
