My 15 year old (one month from 16 year old) niece Katelyn is ecstatic that the Backstreet Boys are coming in concert to the Minnesota State Fair. She knows I have a Minnesota State Fair blog so she asked if she could write something for it about the Backstreet Boys. I, of course, am always open to help on the blog front so here is what she wrote. Thanks Katers!
From anything on a stick to the beautiful weather, the State Fair is one of Minnesota's greatest attractions. I remember being about 12 years old and in love with the Backstreet Boys. My lifelong dream was to go see them in concert. Well, my life long dream will be accomplished on August 23, 2008 because the Backstreet Boys are now larger than life with their new mature look. I can't wait to see them live. I'm sure they will completely rock the Minnesota State Fair Grand Stands.
Want your own Backstreet Boys tickets? check out local brokers like Ticket King for great seats right up until the show date!

Minnesota State Fair Poster
The 2008 Minnesota State Fair Poster has been unveiled. It is an interesting piece created by Stillwater, Minnesota artist Edie Abnet. The poster is a montage of watercolor, crayon and pencil depicting colorful carousel horses at the Minnesota State fair. The creative piece of art represents the equine background of the Minnesota state fair as well as the magical nature of the annual event.

Minnesota State Fair Free Entertainment
The Minnesota state fair prides itself on bringing headliner talent to the big Grandstand stage, but that big talent also comes with big ticket prices. Can’t afford it? The Minnesota State Fair also has plenty of free entertainment! This year, more than 100 acts will perform on seven free stages. Now, that’s not all music, but there will be plenty of talent on the stages including Brandi Carlile, whose music has been featured on one of my favorite shows "Grey's Anatomy." I also make it a point to listen to the great sound of one of my favorite a cappella groups, Tonic Sol-Fa.
See ya at the fair!

Gonig Crazy for Gnarls Barkley!
The last act for the Minnesota State Fair grandstand was just announced and it is going to be Gnarls Barkley!!! I am super excited because I have never been to the state fair and now I will have an excuse to go!
Gnarls Barkley will really bring in a younger audience to the State Fair along with Paramore who will also be at the Minnesota State Fair.
Gnarls Barkley is touring in support of their new album, The Odd Couple. I bought 'The Odd Couple' the day it came out and I haven't been able to stop listening to it!
Minnesota State Fair tickets for this event feature general admission for the Plaza level versus reserved seating. If you want to go, you should get your Gnarls Barkley tickets fast because these tickets will no doubt sell fast!
See you there!

Wow, it is going to be a stellar year for Minnesota State Fair grandstand shows! There is at least four that I am dying to go see, good thing I have some of that tax stimulus money left over, I am going to need it for my Minnesota State fair concert tickets!
