The Great Minnesota Get Together

It's that time of year again to walk arm and arm, shoulder to shoulder with thousands of people in 90+ degrees, eating high calorie, artery clogging food on a stick...yes... it's state fair time. Besides the food, some of our traditional fair stops include: the MN Twins' whiffle ball stadium, the FSN tent, the skyline ride, the picture booth & the swine barn (MN's largest boar).

This is one big pig!

We listened to Paulette Roorda sing with her Christian band at the Chapel.

Joe Mauer flew in from his game in Seattle to say hi to me.

Andrew watched as Dan and Aaron did a short sports segment at the FSN booth. Dan thinks FSN is going to call and offer him a job :-)

Skyline view... this is the first thing Andrew and I do each year at the fair.

Someone was a little tuckered out after his fair outing.

  1. Seriously? We are so jealous...we haven't been to a state fair yet that can top MN's! Looks like you guys had a great time!
