The Great Minnesota Get Together

It has started. A Minnesota tradition that has transcended time and generations. That event is the Minnesota State Fair. Every year for 12 days at the end of August people come to the Minnesota fair grounds located in Falcon Heights Minnesota. They come to be entertained. They come to entertain. The come to eat and they come to watch the best that Minnesota has to offer.

The fair has changed over the years but the one constant is the hunger for any food on a stick. My daughter won tickets to get into the fair and we are all looking forward to going. We have made a list of all the things we want to eat, see and do at the fair. The list continues to grow.

State fairs are a great opportunity for leaders to spend their weekends or even a day off with family. It is a fun time but extremely exhausting. I don't go every year so it is more special to me because there are new things to see every year.

Here are something I like to eat at the Great Minnesota Get Together.

· A malt in the dairy building.

· Pronto Pup

· Mini Donuts

· All the milk you can drink booth with a bucket of Sweet Martha Cookies (No I won't eat them all we share them as a family)

· Corn on the cob

And this year I want to try the Fish Tacos. They sound wonderful.

I'll write about my recent adventures in a future blog.
