All sorts of food is available at the fair, from typical carny food like elephant ears and corn dogs to food from local restaurants – barbecue from Bear Naked BBQ<\/a>, polish dogs from Indian Valley Meats<\/a>, and gumbo from Lionel’s Seafood.\u00a0 Try deep-fried everything and indulge in all the foods you haven’t eaten since you were a kid – people forget how good cotton candy is!\u00a0 There will also be beer and wine vendors – enjoy their beverages, because everything is Alaska-grown, Alaska-made, and we have some great breweries.<\/p>\n
