Evers proclaims cream puff day in celebration of 100th anniversary of the original cream puff

MADISON, Wis. -- Gov. Tony Evers kicked off the opening ceremonies of the Wisconsin State Fair by proclaiming Aug 10 as cream puff day to celebrate 100th anniversary of the original cream puff.

This year the Wisconsin State is celebrating its 173rd anniversary and the 132nd that it has been held at the Wisconsin State Fair Park.

The original cream puff was debuted in 1924 at the request of former Gov. John Blaine to showcase Wisconsin's dairy industry.

In celebration of the original cream puff, Wisconsin State Fair will see four new limited-edition flavors available to the first 1,924 fairgoers on select days. This year's specialty flavors include root beer float, raspberry, cheesecake, English toffee, and chocolate birthday cake.

Cream puffs can be found at four locations around the Wisconsin State Fair Park, including at their home base in the original cream puff pavilion at the cream puff express window. This is located at the north end of the pavilion and at two cream-puff to-go stands along Grandstand Avenue.
