On the Arizona State fair
is back alright team 12,
Trisha Hendricks joining us live
from the fairgrounds near 19th Ave,
and McDowell with what's new this year.
Good morning, Trisha.
Good morning, guys. How hammy?
It's teddy bear and a corn
dog and I'm happy the fair kicks
off today at noon and it's gonna be
running through the end of October.
Definitely a whole lot of fun
that you won't wanna miss.
Let's take a look at some of the
exciting things happening for 2022
Arizona State fairs on the schedule.
The tribute bands are going to
be playing at the Backyard stage
on most nights starting tonight,
so get in on it.
Performances will happen at
6:00 PM and 8:30 PM,
The backyard concert series free.
With fair admission,
you can get it on more than
50 rides and events this year,
including the Arizona Omnium Circus
that celebrates the disability and
diversity they shine through the
joy and excitement of circus art.
Sounds fun, right?
This is a separate ticket that's
available at azstatefair.com
that's going to run from September
29th to October 9th.
You'll also want to check out the
Flying Royals, aerialist and food,
food, food.
Right,
everyone wants to know what is new this year,
Dominic.
We are joining you live this morning.
Thanks
so much for waking up with us. He's one of my
favorites. The Midway gourmet.
Yes. How are you? This. Yes.
You're gonna catch that.
So you have a little
bit of everything.
The fried Turkey legs,
the funnel cakes.
Where do my eyes even go?
First, the cookies, the pretzels.
So, you know, on the new CFO of the
State Fair, you're the celebrity,
not a Chief Fry officer.
Right there you there you go.
Alright, so we have new items.
This you're absolutely
some of the traditions,
some of the new and some of the traditional.
That's the best part about coming to
the fair is you get to try all these
different things and go grazing.
OK, what can I try?
OK, so this one right here
is a new caramel I love.
You know, there's nothing better than,
there's nothing better than drizzling caramel
and chocolate sauce live on television.
Right?
Because it's not just churros anymore.
Right? So we're going to spice
up a little bit and make it fun.
Deep fried Snickers, deep fried Oreos,
deep fried cheesecake.
We love the cheesecake.
Of course. Yeah. The funnel cake.
One of the kings of the fair.
And what I'm gonna show you is
this year we have brand new.
This is the cinnamon toast crunch.
Wow. Funnel cake, right. Looks amazing.
A little bit right here.
We also have a Captain Crunch funnel cake.
We're gonna put a little Captain
Crunch on that one because you got a
little bit of cereal everywhere we look.
By the way,
this hour brought to you by the frito
lay and Captain Crunch cereal hour,
right.
I mean,
I'm telling you this so
many things, you've even
combined it with ramen.
Absolutely. So.
We have a a spicy and Lotte local
Ramen cup with roasted corn ramen,
spicy cheese, cheddar cheese,
and Cheetos on top of it.
Of course, you can get it with the
toasty locos with those as well.
Elote loco elote. We love that one.
The roasted corn this year is probably some
of the best we've had in the last 10 years.
Don't ask me why. Wow. Rains.
Whatever it is, sweet corn.
It's absolutely amazing.
Yeah, hot Nashville,
Nashville hot Chicken Sandwich is
one of the new things this year.
Of course, our Captain Crunch,
we call it the Captain Chicken.
I want you to imagine this now.
Your viewers at home,
you're listening.
It's a honey Raspberry glaze on that
thick southern fried chicken topped
with the Captain Crunch cereal.
Absolutely delicious.
Of course,
you've got the one corn dog in hand,
which is this kind of,
we say the normal corn dog,
but of course it's with the gourmet sausage.
But if you want to spice it up a little bit,
we have the big daddy hot
Cheeto cheese corn dog.
Of course. I love the Pickles.
This is the hot Cheeto, the flamin hot.
You know Pickles. I love this one.
Because of all the components
of the spiciness.
The acid from the pickle, the cheese.
It's the perfect combination that you need.
Salt, fat, and acid, of course.
Sounds like giant pretzels.
Roasted nuts. Something for everyone.
But you gotta come to the Arizona State fair.
Especially when you have a sizzling Turkey.
Right? So you gotta try this.
I'm gonna try the churro, though.
Is that alright? Yeah.
You could try the churros.
Cookies? I like cookies.
The cookies are really good, too.
The cookies are.
You have one too.
OK.
OK,
I'll send it back to you guys in the studio,
so I'll talk with my mouth full,
but cheers.
Back to you guys.
