It's such a cascaron-tease that the whitewashed plyboard food booths are erected so early in September. With every striped tent and E.K. Fernandez ride assembled — primaries faded to pastel after so many years—my hunger for fair food worsens. Salivating, teeth gnashing, I'm Templeton the rat from Charlotte's Web. I wake up in an oily sweat having dreamed of springboard roll-diving into a vat of chow fun after log-rolling on pronto pups in a river of frosty POG. Or a luau stew swim with those plastic fruit- and dinosaur-shaped sippers bobbing alongside in the current. Or a flying saucer ride through cotton candy clouds... Mmm. My opu's growl for grinds grows. Is it time yet? Is it time yet? After a year's wait—yes, it's time. The Maui County Fair returns this weekend, for its 88th annual installment. Of course, it's not only about the food. Exhibits. Rides. Games. Friends. Family. Sights. Sounds. Smells. Excitement. Get your fill of all the buzz (and check out our Da Kine Calendar's Announcements, Foodie and Events sections for specifics). www.mauicountyfair.com
