It's that time of the year again. When the weather starts cooling down, the friers start heating up, and you get excited to find out what the newest "on-a-stick" item is.... It's the Minnesota State Fair!
We have our own little traditions for yummy greasy salty sugary things to eat, animal barns and art expos to visit, various beer gardens to relax at. But the big question is... how large will the giant pumpkin be this year?
Mini donuts hot off the frier. Cheese on a stick? why not.
Pretty rides and Grandstands.
Blue ribbon winners and isles filled with honey. The giant pumpkin was 1186 lbs this year, a new record for the sizes we've seen!
Visit the Butter Princesses in the Dairy Barn. Ah! to have your face carved out of a block of butter. Congrats Princess Kay of the Milkyway, you have arrived.
Horse, Cow, and Fowl barns. It was getting late at this time so the sheep had on their jammies. Sheep in pajamas. A new State Fair tradition.
And the midway. Nothing like the night time sounds of rides and walkers in the cooling air. So much more to see. Day #2 here we come!

Love, love, LOVE all the state fair photos! Beautiful! Might try to make it down to the Oregon State Fair this weekend...
Great pictures which bring back many fond memories !! Not to mention a craving for fair food delights.
Love this images. Have been to the Iowa state fair and looks like it is quite similar.
