Hmm-Fair food: Here's what's new in 2014

CANFIELD

Each year, hundreds of concessionaires flock to and fill the Canfield Fair’s 178 acres of midway.

Most are return visitors. But George Roman III, the fair board director who has managed concessions for the past 25 years, said he tries to ensure a balance of tried-and-true favorites and new options.

As a result, it’s practically a different fair every year,

Roman added. He noted that over the years, there have been “some off-the-wall things” such as chocolate-covered bacon, but that everything is good.

“It just depends on what you want to eat each day,” said Roman, whose favorite fair food is hot sausage.

Among the new additions this year is Granny Franer’s Homemade Noodles on Canfield Drive. The 17-year-old business is based in southwestern Ohio — or, more specifically, in Medway, which is part of Clark County.

Bill and Angela Faris run the stand, where homemade noodles are prepared with a number of different toppings. Bill explained that the dough is made by hand and also that the noodles are cut right at the stand.
