I told this story on the air the other day but I'll tell it again here...

When I first moved here a couple of years ago, I was excited to go to the State Fair.  I have kids, they love they love a good fair and I love eating fair food too!

However, I was very suspicious of all the cream puss hype! 

EVERYone was talking about the puffs.  They were counting down the days!  They were actually drooling!  Not knowing any better, I was suspicious.  Was this just hype.  I mean, they're just cream puffs right?  How great could the be?

I was SO WRONG!

There are few things in life that actually live up to the hype.  Wisconsin State Fair cream puffs are one of them!  They are awesome and must be experienced to be understood.

My first bite was amazing and I look forward to them every year now too!

What was your first cream puff experience like?

I too just had to try one my first trip to the state fair. I wanted to see what was so great about them. Well I guess I'm just not a big fan of these. Much prefer a good eclair. Which is the same dough it just has vanilla custard and chocolate icing instead. Of course that was my step-moms specialty!

I don't like sweets so they are not for me but the hilite of the cream puff for me is watching my husband eat one. He has a beard & moustache. I just watch, laugh to myself and say nothing~ Priceless!

We call them "puffies." (long story) They are simply marvelous & sloppy to eat. I love watching little kids eat them. Their little faces and noses are just all messy!

I have really only tried the cream puff several times in my life and I believe that is one of the major reasons why my life has been so unfulfilling up to this point (LOL).

Seriously, I'm really addicted to them and I can't wait to get my hands on as many as I possibly can this year at the State Fair.

I'm not a sweets person. Well, except for chocolate. I'm heading to the Fair tomorrow and will be having my Millie's Italian sausage, cheese on a stick and the buffalo burrito!!
MMMMMM....meat!
I can dig some ice cream too, Fox6fan.
Oh yeah...and my chocolate covered frozen banana. Gotta have some fruit.

I have to say that watching 'KIM MURPHY' yesterday at the fair was one of the funniest I've seen in awhile. Besides looking great in her Cow Cap, I giggled to tears when she was inside the Cream Puff kitchen and thought that the Puffs were deep fried. LOL !! It wasn't hard to figure out that Kim is not a Cream Puff eater. Thanks Kim for making my day. You rock girl..

A long, long, time ago in a farmers field far, far away, Rob noticed a change in the wind and became fascinated with the weather. Why you ask? (Pause for you to say "why?") Well, it was at that moment he realized he was downwind of the manure pile on the turkey farm where he grew up! After that he watched the weather very carefully in an effort to save his sense of smell! Okay, that's not entirely true but I did grow up on a turkey farm and I have been fascinated with weather and broadcasting for quite some time. I began my career in radio before making the jump to TV. I worked on Good Morning Toronto. After that, I decided to pursue my dream of living and working in the U.S. and joined Wake Up Rochester in Rochester NY. I spent three years in "Bills Country" before coming to my senses and moving to "Packer-Town!" (GO PACK!) I also spent some time trying to make it big as a comic actor and studied the art of improvisation at Toronto's Second City Theatre with teachers like SCTV's Joe Flaherty! I moved here with my beautiful wife, Tanya, who's the real comedian in the family, my son Noah, who's giving my wife a run for the title of funniest Haswell and my daughter Nyla who is the cutest 2 feet of human being you could ever meet! We're very excited to be living in the great city of Milwaukee and we're looking forward to learning all there is to know about Wisconsin! By the way, where do you buy those cheesehead hats anyway?
