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 more traditional fare in the Garden Café . Where can you find all that and more...at the Devon Country Fair.


COOKBOOK - APPETIZERS AT DEVON
Whether it's 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 our inspiring book, "Appetizers at Devon." Available for sale at the Information Booth and at Souvenirs.


DEVON GARDEN CAFÉ
Don't miss dining in the Devon Garden Café. Luncheon specials include wonderful salads as well as warm entrées. 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 new Pavilion. There are also boxed gourmet lunches and dinners 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 a special blend of iced tea, mint leaves and lemon. You can begin your morning here with an assortment of breakfast options from french toast sticks to waffles, fresh fruit, danish or a bagel. Stop by anytime for specialty coffees, a latte, cappuccino, or espresso, then visit the booth for lunch to sample the delicious tea sandwiches and mouthwatering pastries. Tea Cart opens at 7 a.m.


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, smoothies & frappuncinos and fun fair food like ice cream and popcorn.  Once you've picked up your tasty treats, take them over to the expanded picnic grove to enjoy.


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 1,500 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.  The new Candy Booth is located in the Picnic Grove.


SOUVENIRS
You can't go to Devon without taking a little piece of it home with you! The Souvenir Booth offers everything Devon from T-Shirts and baseball caps to fashion items, totes, and elegant barware. Come check out the new items this year that include custom neckties, and saddle pads.
