Fair Food Fest Found To Be Fabulous
The triumph of creativity over Covid nets Yakima s State Fair Park a first place award. In other words, when the Coronavirus hands you lemons instead of a 10 day fair run, make lemonade and sell it and a bunch of other fair food favorites at a unique drive thru event at the fairgrounds!
Congratulations to all the clever people who turned a State Fair disaster into a Fair Food success. The International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE) organization took note of Yakima s Fair Food Fest drive-thru event held in September of 2020 awarding the park the First Place Award of Excellence in the Non-Fair Facility Usage.

The 2020 fair season wasn’t the greatest. Most fairs started getting canceled at the beginning of June, while some were even calling things off in April or May. This left a lot of kids with animals and nowhere to show them.
“We had about six fairs that were able to host some type of fair that was open to the public,” Jayme Buttke with the Wisconsin Association of Fairs explained, “We had another seven or eight fairs that held a modified fair. So it was an exhibitor only type of experience.” Besides that handful of fairs, the rest of them decided to keep things closed until this year. According to the Wisconsin Association of Fairs, in 2019 we had 1.6 million people visit our county fairs and in 2020 we only had about 68,000 visitors.
