2nd Highest Attendance Ever in 2010

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.

2009 Minnesota State Fair Attendance Records

With the Minnesota State Fair Officially over the daily attendance has been calculated and as expected the 2009 Minnesota State Fair was the BIGGEST State Fair in history! With doubts early in the summer that attendance would reach record levels at all due to the recession, Minnesotans proved that nothing will come between them and the best part of most land of 10,000 lakes natives summer!

Daily Attendance Records were broken twice. First on opening day with a record 114,439 fair-goers and then again on and then again on the following Tuesday with 129,423 fair attendees. The total attendance for the 2009 Minnesota State Fair was 1,790,497 beating the 2001 record of 1,762,976.

Lets see if we can do it again next year!
