I appeared on KSTP-TV's Twin Cities Live with a roundup of the best free items you can take home with you from the Minnesota State Fair.
State Fair
An ongoing review of the official and unofficial new foods making their debut at the 2021 Minnesota State Fair.
The St. Paul Winter Carnival's ice sculpture display moved to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, and in true coronavirus fashion, turned into a drive-thru format.
My experience from the Minnesota State Fair Food Parades, held in August and October 2020.
The Minnesota State Fair announced that its extremely-popular Food Parade will return to the State Fairgrounds October 1 - 4 and 8 - 11, 2020.
official Fair merchandise available to public is typically not the most trendy looking stuff. However, designers did a good job creating face masks, along with a gaiter. You can get a face covering featuring Fairchild, one of the two mascots for the Fair, for $12. They're also selling a three-pack of more simplistic masks for $20. Face coverings are available in adult and youth sizes.
The 2020 Minnesota State Fair may be canceled, but State Fair officials and business owners are coming up ways you can get your fix of the Great Minnesota Get Together.
I stopped by the Fairgrounds to purchase two sleeves of cups, and the process is extremely easy. There was no line when I visited, although there was a steady flow of customers.
Prices at the Minnesota State Fair are set by vendors, so you will want to know where the best deals are on the Fairgrounds!
