New foods at the State Fair

The drum roll, please . . .

It's the announcement State Fair fans have been waiting for all year.

What are the new foods at August's Great Get-Together? Here's the list, hot off the presses, for the foods that will be competing with all the other fried and on-a-stick delicacies that show up in late summer where thousands of people gather daily (that would be the State Fairgrounds).
