Quick! Grab something on a stick

You don't need our permission to eat fair food until you feel like curling up on the midway or trading your firstborn for a ride on one of the golf carts zipping from the fairgrounds to the parking lot.

Oh, is that just us? Oops.

Well, nevermind, then.

You may not need our permission, but we're happy to be party to your gluttony.

So we've developed this BINGO card and a game to go with it.

How to play:

--- Print out the BINGO card below and take it with you to the fair.

--- Take a picture - or pictures - of you enjoying the food in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line on the card.

--- If you don't already, “like” the Everybody Eats page on Facebook and post the photo or photos.

--- Everyone who gets a BINGO will be entered into a drawing for a free Iowa State Fair Cookbook. We will choose three winners in a random drawing on Aug. 19.

--- Good luck. You may need it.

* Meredith Hines-Dochterman will be at the Iowa State Fair on Sunday and Tuesday, judging food contests at the Elwell Family Food Center and talking to Eastern Iowans enjoying the fair. Follow her on twitter @Everybody__Eats or search for #statefairbingo to track her down. If you find her, she will mark off a space on your BINGO card, no eating necessary.
