For 11 years, the Sporkies competition has encouraged Wisconsin State Fair vendors to create next-level foods for fairgoers of all ages.

Golden Sporks outside of each finalist and winner location during your visit.

Apple production is looking to be ahead of normal bloom time and production level. This is according to Jacob Franzen, farm manager at Ski-Hi Fruit Farm in Baraboo.

The Wisconsin State Fair is underway and while you're visiting, be sure to try some of this year's Sporkies and Drinkies entries. Charitee Seebecker shares more about the top entries.
