Had the kids at the Mn State Fair today. Normally I wouldn’t go, but my new job is not to far from the grounds, I can park there for free and they gave us all tickets today. The Trump booth was packed. Talked to a gal there and she said they sold as much merchandise in one day this year as they did the first four last year. Good sign that momentum is still there. On the flip side the stands for the DNC candidates looked dead. Pete B, Sanders, and Amy K had no one around them when I walked by. Couldn’t find the Biden one if he had one Pic of the Trump entrance  I took one from outside the DNC HQ booth as well  |

I am not a fan of the State Fair. The first thing that comes to mind is "Hot Asphalt". Second is flabby spandex.
No thank you.

I'll never attend anything in a major city where free tickets or free admission are available. Went to the taste of MN once when it was still on Harriet Island or wherever that was. Won't make that mistake twice.

We are supposed to go this week for the first time in over 30 years.
Maybe I won’t wear my spandex.

I'd bet most of the folks around the Trump booth were from out state |

My wife and I go to the state fair every 3 years. We spend most of our time in the Livestock barns, 4H barns, the birthing barn and of course the dairy barn. The malts and ice-cream are very good. We also typically have a corn dog, mini dounuts and Martha's cookies.
I still go to machinery hill which is now mostly domestic equipment like mowers. They do have allot of Skid steer, trailers and other outdoor items. We also like to ride the gondola.
There is nothing wrong with the fair, it gets busy but if you time it right (when they open) you can avoid allot of people.

Only redeeming feature of the MN State Fair is "Big Fat Bacon".
Dakota County Fair FTW

Only redeeming feature of the MN State Fair is "Big Fat Bacon". Dakota County Fair FTW That’s my home town fair. We would participate in the 4H dairy cattle show there every year. Sometimes beef and pigs as well. There isn’t a fraction of the animals there now that there were 30 years ago. |
