Country Fair Booths
COME TO THE FAIR
Lemon sticks, cotton candy, buckets of fudge, a sky high view from a Ferris wheel, shops to tempt the buyer and browser alike, handcrafted creations, and food booths bursting with hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, ice cream and even filet. Where can you find all that and more…at the Devon Country Fair.
NEW COOKBOOK – APPETIZERS AT DEVON
Whether its cocktails in the boxes on Grand Prix night or a tailgate at the Carriage Marathon, everyone knows that entertaining is an essential part of Devon. Some of the best appetizer, soup and cocktail recipes of the past and present have been collected for you in a new book, “Appetizers at Devon.” Hot off the presses, the book premiers during Devon Week and will be available at various locations throughout the grounds. Get it while it’s hot!
DEVON GARDEN CAFÉ
Don't miss dining in the Devon Garden Cafe. Luncheon specials include wonderful salads as well as warm entrees. For dinner, come through the line and choose from our delicious fare. Pick up your dinner, perhaps a bottle of wine, and enjoy dining in the Pavilion. There are also boxed gourmet lunches and suppers available by reservation for you to take up to your box. You'll find a daily menu posted in front of the cafeteria.
TEA CART
The Tea Cart is the oldest Devon booth and the start of the Devon Country Fair. Although you won't find the lace tablecloths and sterling silver urns of yesteryear, you will still find its own blend of iced tea served with sugar syrup, mint leaves and lemon. You can begin your morning here with fresh fruit, coffee and danish and then stop by for lunch to sample the delicious tea sandwiches and mouthwatering pastries.
FOOD ALLEY
You won't go hungry at Devon. Saunter down the row of Devon’s volunteer run food court and be tempted! All day long and into the night the sizzle of hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill and the tempting aroma of pizza and fries will let you know good food awaits you. In addition, you can grab a sandwich or a salad and, of course, soft drinks and fun fair food like ice cream, soft pretzels and popcorn.
DEVON FUDGE
A visit to the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair wouldn't be complete without a stop at the Devon Candy Booth for a taste of the famous Devon Fudge. Each year over 2,500 lbs. of this deliciously decadent treat is sold. And don't forget the lemon sticks. Children love this century old Devon tradition. This is the place to find all your candy favorites, the ones you remember from your childhood as well as the ones your children love.

DEVON GROUNDS
Making its second appearance this year, in an all new location, Devon Grounds continues to be the place to go when you crave a cappuccino, latte, or a double-decaf-skinny-mochaccino. Hot day, come by for a delicious fruit smoothie or a frozen version of you favorite coffee drink. Devon Grounds is pleased to be partnering with Tradewinds – Coffee in Motion, a local company with a global conscience. This is also another spot to pick up Appetizers at Devon.
