Minnesota State Fair 2011
Hard to believe but it is almost time for the “Great Minnesota get-together”! This year’s Fair dates are August 25- September 5.
Since there are so many great things to share about the Fair I thought I would create a series of posts which will be updated as more Fair information becomes available.
Let’s get to the really important topic first…food. I found a handy link on the State Fair website called “Food Finder”. It is pretty slick. Food Finder gives you a list of all food vendors, where you can find them, what they serve, and daily specials. A great feature of the link is that it is live so information is being updated immediately.
What will you eat first? A Breakfast Lollypop from acclaimed restaurant, Axels? A 1/3 pound slice of bacon fried and caramelized with maple syrup at Big Fat Bacon? Cheese curds? Flowering onion? Chicago dog? Sweet Martha’s Cookies?
My first stop will be for a perfectly roasted ear of MN sweet corn. Likely I will wash that down with a malt from the Dairy Barn. For desert, deep fried Snickers or mini donuts???
If you have a Smartphone, make sure you download the Free State Fair app. This app also has a Food Finder in addition to a Fun Finder which shows entertainment and event information. There is even a handy tool to locate your favorite merchants and a map to show you how to get there.
