Brian - in the photo you commented on, besides the two Yorkies in the lady's lap, note that she is carrying a (large) plastic bag of something edible - Kettle Corn. This is like pop corn but is sweet as well as salty. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kettle_corn] I don't think you can buy much of anything at affairs like these which isn't sweet and/or fried. But don't knock the deep-fried Snickers Bars or similar health-food offerings until you've tried them!
