I have the same issue but for a Football BBQ - I am going to make a fresh macaroni salad. It is not too fancy but a hit with a crowd.

Nachos ???

Cotton Candy ???

Those would just be extras. I think what you have sounds great.

So we just did this for Ayden's 1st Birthday party on July 11 and had 45 people there. I tried for ball park themed foods, but obviously had to have others. For dinner I made cheeseburgers and hotdogs and put them in foil bags. I also had all the fixings. I made cheesy hashbrown potatoes, fruit salad, and pasta salad. For the appetizers/snacks I had popcorn in popcorn bags, pretzels w/cheese (i did not do soft pretzels b/c they would get hard after cooking them so I used servatti's pretzels), nachos w/ cheese and jalepenos in the plastic containers (got them at Sam's), cracker jacks, sunflower seeds, baby ruth candy bars, bazooka bubble gum, cheesball made into a baseball, guacamole, mango salsa, and corn/bean salsa. I also had chips and pretzels.
