Food is an important part of the fair experience, but to enjoy all of your favorites, the cost can add up quickly.
Bert Wilson has been coming to the fair for 29 years and always enjoys multiple days.
"I am here every single day. I come all eleven days and I just love it," Wilson said. "There’s so much to do, so much to see and so much to eat."
Food, like for many people, is Wilson's favorite part and she has a strategy for getting to all her favorites.
"I have a list of all my favorite fair foods and I come every year and I find them," Wilson said. "Then I plan my trips around which one I’m going to on what day so I’m not loading up on fried foods all in one day, not all ice cream and sweets on one day."
Wilson said to cut down on costs, she will split any of her favorites with her husband that way they don't spend too much on any one item separately and can save room in their stomachs for other foods.
She recommends looking for favorite booths and knowing which ones have combinations like chicken fingers and fries, as opposed to just single items.
For those who plan on coming multiple days or just get really thirsty, souvenir cups can be purchased and then utilized for cheaper drinks later on.
No matter what brings people to the fair, Wilson said the food is a must.
"It’s just so good and it’s food that you don’t get everyday. These people come in and their making a living by providing such fun food and different food and things you’d never to think to do like fried Oreos," she said.
