As the summer continues to wane on, one tradition remains intact throughout much of America: the state fair. Usually the state fair is a place for local residents to showcase their agricultural marvels, and for urbanites to experience a bit of the country life.

But State Fair Recipes last on long after the summer fades. The site, features Blue Ribbon favorites like Easy Salsa Squaritos, BLT Ranchy Rollups, and Down Under Casserole.

While there may be an uneasy alliance between urbanites and rural denizens, one thing is for sure: they both love award-winning eats. One is certain to find certain specialties at every fair, ranging from the famous scones of the Washington State Fair in Puyallup to the roast corn that may be found at just about every state fair.

This website brings all of those award-winning recipes together in one place, as visitors can find recipes for such dishes as beef and cheddar puffs, braised lamb shanks, and down home chicken pot pie. Desserts don't get short thrift here either, as visitors can read the recipes for ginger lime pear pie and many others as well. Finally, visitors can read profiles of the various award-winning cooks and find recipes from 2000 to 2004.

Enjoy!
