You know, I haven't seen a food stall at a fair since I was a kid. All of them seem to use food service trucks, now. And less with the candy apples and more with the deep-fried Snickers bars (a favorite at our state fair.)
I haven't been to a real circus in years and years. But it seems to me that the last time I went to the county fair, at least some of the food was sold from stalls rather than trucks. I have to admit I didn't really notice, though, which suggests that it might not be that important for your story. But I'd guess that vendors who travel with the circus or fair would use food service trucks, while vendors who live in the area and just set up when the fair comes to town would use stalls.
Here in northern California, every little city has its own weekend Art and Wine festival sometime during the summer, and the food there is definitely sold from stalls rather than from trucks. Which makes sense, because those are mostly local vendors or nonprofit organizations doing fundraisers.
