Celebrating in Sandwich
Sandwich sits where DeKalb County meets Kendall County, in the western Fox Valley farm country. It is best known for the Sandwich Fair, held each September since 1888, a tradition that draws huge crowds. The Sandwich Opera House on Railroad Street, a historic 1878 building, anchors a small but lively center.
September's Sandwich Fair draws crowds and affects road access, so plan around it for nearby events.

Barns and farm lots outside town host weddings with gravel drives and uneven ground.
Concessions here: Barns with limited outlets need a power check before adding machines that draw a lot of current.
Small-town halls host showers, receptions and fundraisers with a wide range of guest counts.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
Large lots make graduation and reunion parties easy to hold at home with tents and long tables.
Concessions here: Concession machines need a level table and an outlet; popcorn and cotton candy machines each use a standard circuit, so avoid sharing it with a bounce house blower.
How to plan
Popcorn and cotton candy suit kids and school events; dessert and coffee carts suit weddings and corporate events.
Plan 1-2 servings per guest; one popcorn kit makes about 20-25 servings.
Most machines need a standard 15-20 amp outlet within 50 feet, or a generator outdoors.
Machines are self-serve with a volunteer; carts often include an attendant, so check what is included.
