They've got over 25 food vendors all in one location serving up; smoked turkey legs, burgers, brats, BBQ brisket, crab fritters, BBQ chicken wings, gyros, loaded potatoes, hot roast beef, taco-in-a-bag, wantons, shish-kabobs, fries, nachos, cheese curds AND SO MUCH MORE! SERIOUSLY! Don't even get me started on all of the delicious dessert options...Here are the 9 things you need to know if you're planning on attending this year's event.
