State Fair talent contest

Has anyone ever tried out for the Minnesota State Fair's Amateur Talent Contest? The state fair website says the fair is inviting performers with talents of all kinds to try out and become one of the 120 chosen to perform during the semifinals. I was wondering if I could enter my guitar hero skills in the contest. I could rock the Minnesota State Fair!

Hot Air at the Fair

I heard on the news that this week is statistically the hottest week of the Summer. If this is true why is it always thousands of degrees hotter at the Minnesota state fair during the end of August? Is it the large crowds of people creating all this heat? Or is it all the hot air coming out of the politician supporters raging about how open minded they are? Despite the heat, there always seem to be a whole lot of people there. Rain or shine, hot or cold (mostly hot) Minnesotans' love the state fair. The lines seem to get longer each year especially waiting in the cheese curd line as the heat engulfs me.

Fair Time

Is it time for the Minnesota State Fair yet? It's hot enough.

Minnesota State Fair Camping

I think it would be fun to camp at the Minnesota State Fair. You could just walk over to the fair any time you wanted (you still have to pay gate admission), but it would be awesome to come and go as you please and then chill in the camper when you wanted. I think it would be a neat experience. Has anyone out there ever camped at the fair? I suppose most of the campers are the Ag kids who are showing animals, but I still think it would be fun to drag my camper out there for a few days. Hmmm…maybe I could put that on the “To-Do” before I am 40 list (and trust me that is a long ways away – ha ha).

Minnesota State Fair dates

Don't forget—the 2008 Minnesota State Fair runs Thursday, August 21 through Labor Day, September 1. Yeah, like we could forget! I love the summer and the Minnesota state fair is like the cherry on top of the sundae. Yummy.
