Fair, festival and carnival food is a delicious addition to your fundraiser or community event this season. Forget the cotton candy and funnel cakes and opt for "stations" where carnival staples become their own "booth" for families to spend time and have fun!
Popcorn Station: Salt, parmesan, chili powder and other select seasonings give families the option to flavor their popcorn cups to their taste; add kettle and candy corn to the mix too OR chocolate drizzle to get really creative!
Hot Dog Station: Don't forget all the fixin' like ketchup, mustard, slaw, relish, onions, cheese, you name it! This is an all-time favorite families love!
Cupcake Station: Super sweet and fun, make sure you have lots of yummy toppings for mini cupcakes including colorful icing, chocolate chips, sprinkles, cinnamon, you name it!
Sundae Station: Great for your Spring outdoor event, a Sundae station is eazy peazy - don't forget the chocolate syrup, caramel, berries, nuts, and chocolate chips. Looking for less mess? Try a shaved ice or snow cone station where patrons add their own syrups and flavors.
Corn Station: Street corn is a novelty favorite that goes well at any event; grilled or boiled, corn on a stick with butter, salt, cheese powder and other seasonings makes a great food station people will line up for.
Fruit Station: Get creative (and healthy) with a fruit station! Think fruit in small cups, fruit kebabs, chocolate covered frozen bananas and more!
Trail Mix Station: Everyone loves trail mix! Mixed nuts, raisins, m & m's, dried fruit and more make this an easy peasy food option that's pretty healthy too.
