The Great Minnesota Get Together

Happy fair time! We hope everyone is getting their fill of cheese curds, Sweet Martha's cookies, spaghetti on a stick, and deep-fried EVERYTHING!

The Minnesota state fair is the one of the happiest times of the summer. Always something to do, yet a little bittersweet because it means the end of the summer.... which no one ever wants.

Hopefully you all take advantage of this great time of the year and go out to the MN state fair!

Minnesota State Fair- Fair Do's

I'm sure you've seen it.... People walking around the Minnesota State Fair with crazy hair do's! Well, Fair Do's, the vendor that styles these hair do's, won People’s Choice for Best Customer Experience at a Non-Food Vendor! Congrats!



However crazy this looks, I'm not sure if I'd ever let my
kids go out in public like this!
