It’s a fair bet (see what we did there?) that we’re all missing our favorite state and county fairs, parades, and markets this summer. It really is the sight, smell, and sound of summer: warm kettle corn, fair rides, fireworks, fried foods of every sort. 

Well, guess what?! The Whitney House and many of your favorite Old Worthington merchants are pulling out all the stops to bring you A Tribute to Fair Food this Sunday, August 30 from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.

You can preorder your Whitney House meals by noon today (Thursday, Aug. 27) or order at the walk-up window, then take them to eat at the outdoor seating throughout the district. Also, DORA is in effect, so grab a cocktail, wine, or beer and take a stroll!

And the whole neighborhood is getting in on the fun! Here are a few highlights you’ll find this Sunday:
