Thank You for a Great MN Fair Season
What a fair, huh?
I know, I'm a little late posting on this but just wanted to wrap some things up regarding this 2012 MN State Fair!
No single day of the Fair broke attendance records this year, but overall the 2012 Great Minnesota Get-Together ranked second in total attendance, with 1,788,512 people coming through in 12 days. That's ONLY less than 2,000 off the all-time high of 1,790,497 in 2009. So, congrats MN!
Great weather, great food, great music, great company. That's what it's all about.
What are some of your fair memories? Leave me a comment and I'll give ya a shout out during my next post!
And, hey! See you next year! August 22- September 2, 2013!
