Calling all foodies! 🍴

The Fair Food Fight is heating up at the Fairgrounds again this year, and your taste buds are invited to the party.

Here's the plan:
🍽️ Head to the Miller-Murphy-Howard Building on Friday, October 9, to watch our judges taste-test every entry live and crown the winners on the spot.
🎡 Then hit the Fairgrounds yourself — Food Fight dishes will be popping up all over the grounds for the full 11 days, Oct 8–18.
📱 Found your favorite? Scan the QR code or head to our website to cast your vote.
🏆 Swing back during the final weekend to see who’ll take home the title of Fair Fan Favorite — and grab one last bite while you're at it.

May the best dish win. 😋 Full entry list here: https://tinyurl.com/Fair-Food-Fight
