Minnesota State Fair Season

It was a good Minnesota State Fair this year. I was happy that I went as many times as I did. Next year, I hope to go more times (I say that every year). I enjoyed the food and the people watching and the Minnesota State Fair entertainment is always first class. I am not sure what I am going to do with this Minnesota State fair blog. I don’t really love blogging like I used to, but I want to keep the site. Maybe I will give the site an extreme makeover for next year’s great Minnesota get together! See ya at the fair!
