YAKIMA, Wash. \u2014 The 133rd annual Central Washington State Fair in Yakima held their media day previewing the food on display just hours before gates open.
One vendor highlighted a savory option before the tasting began.<\/p>\n
“Who doesn’t love bacon and chicken together? If we do it in a honey soy garlic marinade and then we fry it to perfection,” said Zane Bradbury, owner of Sweet Treats and Fried Cheeks.<\/p>\n
NonStopLocal’s Steven Hogencamp then tried a bacon-wrapped chicken leg and gave his review.<\/p>\n
“Oh, my gosh. I took a meaty bite, and this chicken is so tender. I love crispy bacon. And this is extremely crispy. I’m going. I’m going in 8.8\/10. I really like that,” he said.<\/p>\n
President & CEO of the Central Washington Fair Association Kathy Kramer says vendors are always pushing for unusual new items that stand out each year.<\/p>\n
“Crazy, wonky, fair food how do you make it neat and different and interesting? We’re always trying to do the newest, craziest things,” she said.<\/p>\n
Another stop featured a deep-fried Pop-Tart covered with strawberry sauce and sprinkles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is a first-time experience. Without a doubt it’s filling a childhood dream. This is mind-blowing,” NonStopLocal Reporter Josiah Kau described it.<\/p>\n
Scott Dennis, owner of three different vending options, says the fair keeps drawing people back because of the setting and the crowd.<\/p>\n
“We love. We love the people. We love the feel of it all the grass that’s like the it’s just a beautiful fairground, all the buildings and everything. And dealing with all the customers. It’s it’s always great here,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
