The 2019 State Fair is just about over and in the books as I write this on Labor Day. But I wanted to post a few pics and highlights form our three visits this year. Our first visit was on opening day.
Blue Barn Tennessee hot chicken on a stick. We both really liked this new item for 2019. It was not really very spicy. Flavorful and the chicken was delicious. I liked the corn flake breading also.
fries
Thai rolled ice cream from the Grandstand
Honestly, this time both fries were very similar and we could not pick a favorite.
pronto pup- I am solidly on team pronto pup!
lots of bees in the pollinator garden this year
beer flight
new events building on the North end of the fairgrounds
egg roll on a stick
corn roast
Turkey to go- John's favorite fair food
shrimp and grits from Funky Grits
blueberry key lime pie- new this year and really good.
I am pretty sure I had something else to eat, another pronto pup I think! And I had Vescio's garlic cheese bread after the concert too.
Hall and Oates was super fun and a great show!
mini donuts
deep fried taco on a stick from Taco Cat. Very good, particularly the tomatillo salsa on top. A new item for 2019 also.
vietnamese coffee from Que Viet
another round of corn
We rode the Space Tower shortly after a quick rain shower.
Overall 2019 was an excellent year for the State Fair. We had some of the most amazing weather I can recall, it was almost cool many evenings. I won't be surprised if attendance breaks records again this year.
