So Much Food, So Little Time at MontanaFair

Let's face it: One of the biggest attractions at MontanaFair is the food -- every deep-fried, sticky, buttery and smoky morsel.

MontanaFair is the one time of the year you can indulge in funnel cakes, footlong corn dogs, cotton candy, cheese curds, Cow Pies and more all in one place -- the ever-popular Midway. This year, there are more than 40 food vendors that will vie for your appetite.

Is your mouth watering yet?

This year, MontanaFair has masterminded yet another way to experience all the fair food you can eat. It is called MontanaFair's Taste of the Fair.

This new event is Wednesday, Aug. 12 MontanaFair. For only $1 at each concessionaire, you can sample the best fair food and then get even more of your favorites. You can choose from sushi, Chinese, Mexican, things on sticks, deep-fried whatever, Cow Pies, and corn dogs along with barbecue from competitors at the Kansas City Barbecue Society-sanctioned, Montana State Barbecue Championship.

Additionally, there's a sampling of beers from the Budweiser Brewmaster Tour in Rimrock Auto Arena.

Tastings will be in the food court area behind the Grandstands and in Rimrock Auto Arena from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

If you're looking to have lunch at the fair, there's yet another feature tailored just for you.

From noon to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, Aug. 10-14, admission to the fair is $5. Lunch bunch diners will receive a token at the gate and a refund on admission if the token is returned by 2 p.m.

For dessert, you will find cotton candy, snow cones, caramel apples and deep-fried Oreos.
