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).

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.
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!
