This is a excerpt (and prices) from last year's fair food guide by Reed Messer. Food this year will be similar. Vickie's dawg house
Treat yourself to a foot-long hot dog on a steamed bun, which went for $3, or a hand- dipped corn dog for $4. Sizes available in medium, large or jumbo - Vickie doesn't believe in small. Chili and cheese cost 50 cents extra.
"Fun foods"/sausage booth
Try out the popular Polish or Italian sausages complete with onions and peppers, which went for $5 (the Polish sausage comes on a bun, the Italian one is round).
Pinelli foods
This New York family has been in the vendor business for 43 years. Last year chili cheese fries started at $3, fried bologna with onions and peppers went for $3.50, the loganberry punch for $4, jumbo pretzels ran for $3 and all-beef hot dogs were $2.
Funnel cake booth
Grab an original powdered sugar and cinnamon funnel cake or jazz it up with plenty of extra toppings like vanilla pudding, blueberry, cherry, apple or chocolate for an extra cost.
Chicken-on-a-stick booth
Craving an unusual alternative to the blasι corn dog? Be courageous and try the chicken-on-a-stick.
Pizza booth
Last year a slice went for $3 for either pepperoni or cheese, two went for $5. Nachos were $2.50 and a bottle of water was $2.
Dessert booth
Unquestionably one of my favorite booths. Don't miss out on the fresh frozen chocolate-covered bananas or strawberries on a stick. A rootbeer last year sold for $4, milkshakes for $4.50 and regular ice cream cones (dipped, with nuts or sprinkles) were $2.50.
Candy booth
Resplendent booth with a major sweet tooth. Score a candy apple or get it covered with caramel. There's rainbow popcorn, suckers, cotton candy, which come in regular and jumbo size.
Old fashioned lemonade
Step up to this appropriately bright yellow booth and refresh yourself with lemonade. Take home a 32-ounce souvenir cup, which went for $5 last year. Sodas went for $1.50 and jumbo Kosher pickles were $1.
New addition for 2005
Burger Bob's
Home-cooked hamburgers and hot dog's made on the grill.
