FairFoodFriday

26 JUNE 2020 - DES MOINES, IOWA: ENRIQUE HERNANDEZ makes deep fried foot long corn dogs in the American Grill trailer at Fair Food Friday in Des Moines. The 2020 Iowa State Fair, like many state fairs in the Midwest, has been cancelled this year because of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. The cancellation of the fair left many small vendors stranded with no income. Some of the fair food vendors in Iowa started "Fair Food Fridays" on a property a few miles south of the State Fairgrounds. People drive up and don't leave their cars while vendors bring them the usual midway fare; corndogs, fried tenderloin sandwiches, turkey legs, deep fried Oreos, lemonaide and smoothies. Fair Food Friday has been very successful. The vendors serve 450-500 people per Friday and during the lunch rush people wait in line in their cars 30 - 45 minutes to place an order.
