A "FEEDING FRENZY" HITS THE ILLINOIS STATE FAIR!
SPRINGFIELD, IL - Whether it's vinegar fries from "Cullers' French Fry," cheese curds from "Hot Wisconsin Cheese," or a cold, refreshing lemon shake-up from anywhere, we love fair food! Illinois State Fair officials have come up with a "Feeding Frenzy" solution making the annual dive into fair food decadence more affordable for families.
Fittingly, the "Jaws" theme will blast over the fairgrounds signaling the beginning and end of the frenzy that runs each day from 2-5 pm. When the music sounds (15 minutes prior to the discounts starting, and 15 minutes before they end) participating vendors will reduce prices on select menu items.
"We believe the Illinois State Fair should be affordable, and accessible to everyone." said Kevin Gordon, Illinois State Fair Manager. "This promotion will help alleviate some of the cost burden to fairgoers and increase business for our vendors, so it's a win, win situation."
