Kemps® Hometown Favorites Contest at the MN State Fair

Back in May we introduced you to the Kemps® Hometown Favorites Contest.  We're reminding you that the contest is not quite over yet!  In fact, the best part is still to come!  First, let's recap...

From May 16-June 7, more than 260 flavors were submitted to Kemps® in hopes of becoming the next Hometown Favorite flavor.

From June 14-30, nearly 3,000 votes were cast on top 10 finalists on the Kemps® Faceboook Fan Page.

On August 1, the top 3 finalists were announced on the Kemps® Facebook Fan page.  You can head on over there right now and vote for your favorite of these three:
  • Funnel Cake A-Fair
  • Pistachio Fruit Party
  • MinneAppleLicks
Better yet, from August 22-28, head on over to the Kemps® booth on Machinery Hill at the Minnesota State Fair from 1-2 pm daily to taste the flavors for yourself and cast a vote!  

On August 28, a local celebrity judging panel will taste the flavors, cast their votes, and the winner will be announced live at the Fair!

Don't miss out on this fun, local contest and your chance to help choose the next Kemps® Hometown Favorites flavor!
