Attendance was up this year at the Wisconsin State Fair, but cream puff sales were slightly down.

More than 876,000 people attended the 11-day event that ended on
Sunday in West Allis. That's a 5 percent increase over last year.
But cream puff sales were down. More than 338,000 cream puffs
were sold, which is a decrease of about 2 percent from the year
before.

Fair spokeswoman Kristin Chuckel says the decline is likely due
to the economy and the heat. She also speculated that it might be
due to the new food choices this year, including many foods on a
stick.
