PARNELL FOODS – American
Family concession company based on North Avenue in Belvidere, Illinois, serving made-from-scratch fair treats at festivals and fairs since 2010. The trailers turn out midway classics done properly — elephant ears, funnel cakes, fresh-squeezed lemonade, popcorn, cotton candy, and caramel apples — plus baked goods like apple crisp and pies that outclass typical fair fare. As members of the national concessionaires association, they work events across the region. It suits fairgoers chasing the good funnel cake, festival organizers booking vendors, and anyone whose summer isn't complete without fried dough.
