Generation GF Kids Magazine – Summer 2025
As summer peaks and eventually draws to a close, the weather starts to turn and the leaves start to change. There’s a new crisp smell in the air, fallen leaves and…corn dogs? This time of the year, I only think about one thing. Okay, maybe two things. Apple cider donuts (gluten-free of course), and fair food. This issue of Generation GF is packed full of fair foods including some of my favorites! I hope that everyone has a chance to experience a state or county fair this year, and explore all the safe gluten-free options that might be at your event. When I first started going to fairs, it felt like nothing was safe. I was stuck eating my purse sandwich and jerky sticks while others ate corn dogs and deep fried butter on a stick. But over the years, fair food has changed for the better. And there’s more than just food at the fair! Don’t miss the exciting rides (although not directly after eating a gluten-free corndog!), and agriculture aspects of the fair. One of my favorite parts is going into the agriculture barn and looking at all the prize-winning pigs, chickens and cows. There’s butter sculptures, quilts, car shows, demolition derby, and maybe even goat yoga – all found at a fair. My state fair also offers live music from popular bands. If you’ve never been, I encourage you to try something new and visit a fair this season!
Happy Summer and Fall seasons,
Erica
