6 Mouth-Watering Treats You Can Find at County Fairs This Summer!
Have you ever had deep fried Oreos along with alligator on a stick? No?! We haven’t either, but as we quickly approach the start of Summer, questions like these will need to be asked whilem making a trip to the State Fair. So, come hungry and bring an extra pair of sweatpants/shorts, because we’re going to share with you some sweet finds of this year’s most popular treats at the County Fair.
1. Alligator on a Stick (Wichita Riverfest)
In its final weekend is Wichita’s Riverfest, with the most bizarre food to top our list: Alligator on a Stick. Brought to you by the team at Big G’s Burgers, visitors can experience biting into what most say tastes something between chicken and fish. The well-battered and deep fried reptilian treat takes top spot on our list.
YOU ARE INVITED! COME CELEBRATE 50 YEARS AT THE FEST! In honor of our 50th Anniversary there will be a ceremonial ribbon cutting with the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce. Daytime fireworks are promised! We’ll see you at Douglas & Water, 11:30am. Ribbon cutting at 11:45am. pic.twitter.com/p8aZQWf9rN

2. Cherry Kool-Aid Chicken Sandwich (L.A. County Fair)
L.A.-based Chicken Charlies debuted their latest creations of fair foods with their Cherry Kool-Aid Chicken Sandwich at this year’s L.A. County Fair. The sandwich is prepared by frying chicken breasts and then dipping it in the famous red syrup and served on a bun with spicy pickles. And you thought deep-fried Kool-Aid was the biggest thing to come out of the fair...

The upcoming Colorado State Fair has burger lovers covered with their Slopper, an open-faced cheeseburger smother in pueblo chile, cheese, and onions.
