STATE FAIR FUN!

Where every food is fried and comes on a stick, people watching is considered a hobby, mullets are back in fashion, A different butter sculpture is on display daily, Animals giving birth can be viewed, and is a must do in the summer in Minnesota is the State Fair!! You haven't had a true State Fair Experience unless you have been to the MN State Fair yourself. Maria you were right!! I never knew a state fair to be as big of a deal as the MN State Fair. If you don't go to the State Fair in Minnesota you just are not a true Minnesotan. Everyone goes. So now that we are Minnesotans Thomas and I ventured out to a land of fried food and enjoyed eating it right off the stick. Some Food Thomas and I tried in an adventurous fair spirit was a deep fat fried battered snickers bar, fried pickles, fried potatoe curly cut chips, and fried cheese curds. All were a tasty treat. We had so much fun we took Thomas' s parents when they came into town. We thought in order to give them a true MN summer experience we would show them what the MN Fair was all about too! Mom and Dad Rose had a fun time trying lots of new fair food too!

Sweet Martha's Cookies: This is a must have! Look at the line of people waiting for their bucket-o-cookies! These are hot and fresh and a tasty fair treat that has become a tradition for all fair goers year after year. Thomas and I may have joined the ban wagon and started the fair tradition for our family now too!
Maria I ate one just for you!! :)


Farm Fun: In the birthing area we saw many baby farm animals that were anywhere from less than a day old to a few days old. I got to pet a day old pig! We also saw the biggest boar in MN!

We had a fun evening at the fair! Like all the rest of the people in Minnesota we too will look forward to next years Fair!!

Welcome to the blogging world!!! It's great fun. Glad to see you're enjoying Minnesota. Good luck to Thomas with law school. Sounds like fun... Also, I'm now a dental assistant. I changed offices and get to sit chairside more often. Who knew that I would enjoy it so much! ~ Tracie
