IT'S A FILL-IN-THE-BLANK!

But have no fear, Reader Dear!  I'm going to give you so many clues! Guessing the answer is going to be as easy as pie...er, as easy as freshly made potato doughnuts, freshly made hand-cut french fries, freshly made apple dumplings with ice cream, funnel cakes, thick and creamy milkshakes....

 

  Yes, if you can't get this answer in   the blink of an eye, you're really   going to feel like a goose when you finally figure it out!

Perhaps you'll even feel a bit sheepish.

Well, okay, so here it is  (Fill in the blank):






Yesterday, The Yard Man and I accompanied all but one of our direct descendants to The

99th Annual Pennsylvania __________Show!

Clues:
1. The buildings in which this show is housed are sprawling, the crowds massive.
2. The crowds are always hungry.

(Sometimes the crowds get a powdered-sugar coating on their clothes [when they eat those out-of-this-world potato doughnuts in a super-enthusiastic way!])

3. It's all about food.

4. It's such a big clue, I'll just say it again: It's ALL about food*!
   ( Except, uh, when it's just all about fun)

So, there you have it**, Viewer Dear.  (You do have it; please say that you have it!) 

*Yes, ultimately
