The Great Minnesota Get Together is over once again

Its hard to believe that another Minnesota State Fair is over, and the next is a year away. But now that the barns have been swept out, the food vendors have gone home and the mid-way rides are at another carnival... I think that it is time for a re-cap of this years fair and a look forward to next years events.

This year brought new food (chocolate covered bacon) as well as old favorites (cheese curds and pronto pups), new rides, and new health concerns. However even with the outbreak of H1N1 at the Fair, I would have to say that MN State Fair Officials handled it all calmly and with the best interest of Minnesotans and Fair Visitors at top of mind.

My favorites from this year:
1) Cheese Curds, always at the top of the list
2) Summer Shandy, a great way to beat the heat
3) Jason Aldean at the Grandstand
4) Techno Power in the Midway
5) and the Big Bucket O' Fries

See you all next year at the Great Minnesota Get Together!
