Food
The mingling aromas of funnel cake, barbecue and so much more, are the first things that greet you in the fair parking lot. And, we must admit, it’s always fun to see what’s new in the land of the deep-fried.
Deep-fried nachos are hitting the scene this year. The nachos are battered and fried until they are golden and crispy on the outside with gooey cheese on the inside. They are then topped with sour cream and guacamole.
Also new on the food front are Oreo funnel cakes and Oreo churros, deep fried mints, pork belly on a stick, spiral cut hot dogs and pickle fries.
Don’t worry, there are still plenty of classics like roasted corn, turkey legs and curly fries.
Beer Fest
Beer Fest, which benefits the Centurion Foundation, takes place from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 16, at the Bud Light Sunset Cantina Bar and Grill. In addition to beers from Arizona breweries such as Mother Road Brewing from Flagstaff and Four Peaks Brewing from Tempe, the event includes music, games, prizes and a souvenir cup.
It costs $15 for 10 tastes while supplies last.
