Thanks for the rundown, Connie. Although I didn't eat my way through all of them---Hello! I was working!---everything I sampled was terrific. Although I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I did that afternoon!

While this year's Iowa State Fair slogan is "Fair Sweet Fair," I've decided mine will be Sweet Fair Sweets (All of 'em!). I can hear my glucose monitor already...."BEEEEEEP! Enough already!!!"

Have a great fair, Connie. Let the weight gain begin!

I love your version of the slogan, Andy. I think I'll join you in that! You have a great fair, too, and I hope to see you out there!

Connie, thanks for this readable and informative piece. I had no idea there exists a pre-Fair fairfoodfest.
