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!

Attendance Record Broken!

The Minnesota State Fair reached a daily attendance record today with 114, 439 people attending today. On the same day last year only 103,974 people attended the fair and in 2007 79,192 attended. Today's increased attendance is indicative of how the fair has gone so far this year, it is possible that the total fair attendance record will be broken after this weekend. Some fair analysts think that because of the slow economy, Minnesotans opted to skip the summer vacation and instead journey to the Great Minnesota Get Together.

If you can't make it out today, head to the State Fair this weekend... before you have to wait a whole year to go! If you make it out tomorrow make sure to get A Prairie Home Companion Tickets and watch as Garrison Keillor gives his report of the News from Lake Wobegon!
