So, being the bright minds that we are, we chose to save our going to the fair night for a weeknight, in an attempt to avoid the crowds and to have faster access to the food. Our plan worked out quite well, and we had a great couple hours milling around and checking out the fair, as well as eating some old favorites, and a few really good new ones.

We heard a lot of great things about the crepes. We chose to get the nutella and marshmallow crepe, and it was good. Now if only they had some graham crackers in it.
We had really good luck last year trying out foods at the international market, so we made it a point to get over to that end of the fair. We got bourbon chicken on a stick, and chinese dumplings. They were both very good, and we were especially pleased with how much chicken was actually on the stick.
Two new things that we tried were both from Axels, over near the Leinie's Lodge. The first was the deep fried slider, which was a battered cheeseburger that was deep fried. It was excellent. The deep fried batter itself was very good. It was a nice balance of meat and cheese and batter. Almost like a juicy lucy/blucy burger, that was then encompassed by the deep fried batter "bun." Highly recommended, and it was only $3 or 4, so it's a really good deal. The other was the breakfast lollypop, which was a sausage patty dipped in corn muffin batter, deep-fried and drizzled with maple syrup. This was really good, and it just worked well together. Spot on.
As if we hadn't had enough already, we had to stop and get some sweet martha's cookies. A pail, of course. Couldn't even eat enough of them to get the lid on for the drive home.
Of course, I needed a few more pre-bedtime cookies, but this was
only so I could put the lid on the pail.
