Fall fairs: What's your favourite carnival snack?

On Aug. 20, the Canadian National Exhibition kicks off its annual event in Toronto. In Vancouver, Aug. 21 will mark the Pacific National Exhibition's 100th year. Summer's unofficial last hurrah, these fairs and dozens of others across the country often mark the end of the season and usher in the beginning of fall.
The grounds play host to everything from midway rides and parades to international shopping centres and concerts. And then there's the food. Tired of the conventional beaver tails and mini donuts, this year's CNE goers can try unhealthy snacks like chocolate-covered bacon and deep-fried butter.
Are you planning to attend a fall fair in your community? What's your favourite carnival snack?
