Brian Kramp checks out all the food, fun and entertainment at the 2015 State Fair
MILWAUKEE -- The Wisconsin State Fair has officially kicked off for the 2015 season and Studio A's Brian Kramp checked out all the action at the U.S. Cellular Loyalty Lounge.
The 2015 Wisconsin State Fair runs from Thursday, August 6th through Sunday, August 16th and there's plenty of entertainment, activities, and food to try while spending the day at the fair.
The smells of all the food at the State Fair had Brian Kramp searching for the best food with the help of fairgoers.

Obtain the company's physical location and telephone number, in case you need to return or exchange an item after the event.
As with any purchase, it makes sense to comparison shop. Keep in mind, however, that the least expensive item may not always be the best value. If you are making a large purchase, don't be afraid to leave the fairgrounds to do some research.
Don't be pressured to buy. After the demonstration or sales pitch, walk away from the sales person to give yourself some time to think about the purchase.
Don't forget about the old-fashioned fair foods! Brian Kramp tasted some of them LIVE on Studio A:
Finally, Spin City is filled with happiness -- with plenty of rides for fairgoers to enjoy.
