WEST ALLIS, Wis. (CBS 58) -- There are hundreds of foods to choose from at the Wisconsin State Fair, but it's tough to compete with one staple that has been a part of the fair for over 60 years. "I'm not going to say that no one has corn as good as us, but no one has corn better than us," said Dave Abstetar, with the New Berlin Lions Club. "It's really about the best corn you can get." Since 1959, the New Berlin Lions Club corn roast has been roasting, buttering and salting ears of corn for fairgoers to enjoy.
