Fried pickles are nothing new, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve a spot among the top 10 all-time-best state fair ...

Corn dogs, funnel cake, fried oreos, and meat on a stick. That's just some of the food you can get at this year's Collier ...

The competition covers six different categories and according to event reps, seeks to find the best in fair food. Points for flavor and creativity are given, especially for innovative new dishes.
