Funnel cakes, mini donuts, and deep fried oreos. These are just a few of the popular fair food items eaten by many throughout the summer months. While they may be delicious to enjoy, they do take a lot of work to prepare. James Malmquist, owner and operator of Keys Koncessions says they prepare thousands of these food items for each event they go to. However the pandemic put a wrench in this business.

“The COVID-19 pandemic impacted many businesses and we were no exception,” says Malmquist. “In 2020, it was unclear which events would still be held, and the company had to rely on the Wisconsin Fair Association to stay informed about what was happening in the state. Ultimately, only a few events were held, making it a difficult year for us.”

However, things have been picking up since then. In 2021, people were excited to get back out and enjoy fairs and festivals, and this year has been going well for Keys Koncessions.
