Minnesota State Fair





Our Minnesota State Fair has long been dubbed "The Great Minnesota Get-Together"...and it really is. This year (2008) the fair attendance was just over 1,600,000 people and it is easy to figure out why. At our state fair there is truly something for everyone. Minnesotans come to the fair to do everything from watch a national act on the Grandstand or watch the judging of apple pies.

I love to come to the fair to eat. This year the popular treat was chocolate covered bacon. Although I did not eat the bacon, I did enjoy some roasted corn, funnel cake, chocolate covered fruit, and a corn dog.

I also love to go to the Agriculture building to see the different livestock and talk to the kids from small towns that are showing their animals. This year I had a great time looking at all the different types of chickens.
