2nd Highest Attendance Ever in 2010

Minnesota State Fair The 2009 Minnesota State Fair had the highest attendance recorded in fair history. 2010 didn't reach that mark, but it got awfully close. The 2010 Minnesota State Fair was the 2nd highest attended state fair in Minnesota's history. It is quite an achievement considering the United State's economic situation and disposable income budget. Likewise, the Michigan State Fair was cancelled altogether this year. It shows how important the Great Minnesota Get-Together is to Minnesotans.

She sang some of her hit songs, "What Can I Say", "Change", "I Told You So", "Mama's Song", and "Before He Cheats."
