Minnesooota. Have we forgotten our roots? Minneapolis/St. Paul has become a flocking point for many immigrants from all around the world. Yeah, the Twin Cities are pretty awesome...but what about the rest of the state??? The MN State Fair is a yearly reminder of who our neighbors are just outside of the city lines. Yeah thats right, I'm talking to you city slickers who have never seen a dairy farm or purchased fresh corn off the road or stopped into a homemade crafts store...just a few of the attractions 60 miles any direction outside urban territory. Well, the good news for all you hipsters out there- you don't have to go far to experience all this maaaaadness. Yes, thats right. We have one of the best state fairs in the country, by golly. So, dontcha know you should go on out there to the fair ya know!
A few of my favorite stops at the fair:
- Cheese curds...you betcha!
- Cattle barn and Miracle of Birth Center
- Dairy Barn...best ice cream I tell ya!
- Arts and Crafts Buidling
- Green Buidling (formerly the Technology Building) and theres lots of free stuff there
- At least one ride (BEFORE cheese curds)
- A free show at the Grandstand
- PEOPLE WATCHING
This year the fair goes from August 27th-September 7th. Make a date and support MN economy at the expense of the nice waistline you've carved all summer! :)
