Minnesota State Fair

We live about 2 miles from the State Fair grounds. It's quite the event each year and is also called the Great Get Together. This year almost 1.7 million people went to the fair. Some of the unique things you can find at the fair include being able to buy almost anything on a stick, all you can drink fresh milk for $1, deep fried cheese curds, deep fried candy bars, roasted corn on the cob and really anything and everything. Each year it feels like a different experience because it is so big. This year we went with some friends and went on the last day of the fair. We took the kids to Little Farm Hands (a must for young kids), saw a Logging show, went down the Big Slide and ate yummy food. This year, all I wanted was the corn and it was so delicious. Zeke got to eat cheese curds and a wild game sausage. Although it took some convincing to get Zeke to go this year, the boys and I are already looking forward to next year!

After you do all the farm chores, you receive 'money' to 'buy' something from the General Store - Matias got Honey Nut Cheerios

Lucas had a great time watching the show!

I'm definitely getting the corn on the cob again next year!
