North Texas Choice Awards
Each year, State Fair concessionaires fry up tasty and unique foods for a chance to become a finalist in the North Texas Choice Awards. In 2014, the North Texas Choice Awards winners were chosen from eight finalists. Fried Gulf Shrimp Boil, created by Clint Probst, won Best Tasting. The Most Creative food item was awarded to Justin and Rudy Martinez for their creation, the Original State Fair Brew – funnel Cake Ale.
Contest Kitchen
Did you know some of the state’s most notable chefs can be found at the State Fair? Each day, area chefs prepare their favorite signature dishes, share kitchen tips and answer questions from the audience. Be sure to stick around for the free samples at the end of the show. There are four to five demonstrations daily. Check the schedule for times and to see who is cooking in the Celebrity Kitchen.
Fair Food Vendors
The Exhibitor and Vendor Services Department designs the programming and layout strategy for the Fair and coordinates individual Vendor placement. While the Fair prides itself with its high rate of Vendor retention, we are continually searching for professional vendors who present new and unique commercial products or services as well as concessionaires that offer a diverse food selection for our visitors. To be considered for the North Texas State Fair, please follow the application process as outlined in the Applications and Forms linked below.
