Wilson County Fair, Wilson NC (Mexican Corn!)


Off the midway...at the Wilson County Fair, Wilson, NC.

Hansen family entertainment.

This is country fun at the Wilson County Fair.  Hanging out in the "Cut."

If you want an alternative to larger crowds and more $$ at the North Carolina State Fair, think about trying out the Wilson County Fair, in Wilson, NC.  The entry fee is $7/person, but there's entertainment.  Typical rides are 4 tickets, and tickets are $4.

But the best thing I liked about this fair was discovering the Mexican corn.  What is it?  We'll I'm glad you asked.  Mexican corn is a roasted corn that is served with the husk peeled back as a handle.  Then a coating of sour cream and mayo is painted on the corn until all the nooks and crannies are filled.

The corn is then rolled in fresh grated Parmesan cheese.  The new owner of the corn can put a thick hot sauce, more salt & pepper, or more cheese on it.  It is well worth waiting in the long line to get, and it's a great idea to try and make at home.
