The Minnesota State Fair is well like a state wide national holiday to them. I have heard about this event since college when the Iowa people would get in a fight with the Minnesotans who had the best fair. I'm not kidding we had whole meals in the caf over this topic. So when the time came, a couple months before the food blogs where out, my roommate couldn't wait, and the whole town was getting ready.I just sat back and waited and listen, and watched as my street- well down the way up north really- was closed, opened, re painted, then full of buses. These people do really love their fair, they come in the bus loads. The little area had over 200,000 people a day coming in. 200,000 a day!!!! So after a week of listen all about this food and did you try this one. I went. Sarah and I went out on a Sunday night.
I must say, it was an experience. The amount of people- overwhelming. The food- bring the bank beacuse its $$ but wonderful. The people watching- an anthropologist dream (maybe a grad school paper if and ONLY if I go back for anthropology) the things to see and do! They even have a giant slide while I couldn't wait to go down, I made Sarah go with me- come on you use old burlap sacks!
So here are some pictures to show of this grand old event! Oh and the cheese curds--I think I died and went to heaven! They are really the best so far- and yes I can say that now that I'm a Minnesotan well that and I have had my fair share already
