After weeks of anticipation and enthusiastic participation from ice cream lovers across Minnesota, Midwest Dairy is thrilled to announce Cheers for Cherries is the triumphant flavor of the 2023 Flavor of the Fair contest. Cheers for Cherries will be available for all to enjoy exclusively at the Dairy Goodness Bar in the Dairy Building at the Minnesota State Fair, Aug. 24-Sept. 4. Cookie Time and Churro Your Way were close contenders.
“Cheers for Cherries truly embodies the essence of the dairy goodness and environmental friendliness Midwest Dairy farm families work to provide,” said Liz Stiras, marketing and communications manager for Midwest Dairy. “We are thrilled to showcase Cheers for Cherries as the official Flavor of the Fair to celebrate Minnesota and the dairy community at this year’s State Fair.”
Cheers for Cherries will be served as a sundae or malt and comes with cherries and a decadent drizzle of dark chocolate on top. The flavor now joins the esteemed lineage of past Flavor of the Fair winners, including Key Lime Crumble in 2022, You Betcha Berry in 2020, Birthday Batter Blast in 2019, That’s S’More Like It in 2018, Pie in the Sky in 2017, Call it Breakfast in 2016, and Salted Caramel Puff in 2015.
