Next up: Tom Thumb Mini Donuts! One of most favorite fair foods since I was a little kid. They were delicious but I forgot to tell them to not put on extra sugar so they were a little oversweet for my taste.

State Fair 2019 (Second Visit) - Dole Whip
Friday, August 30, 2019
After my corn dog I decided to get a Dole Whip. Dale surprised me in that he wanted one too. The choice was between pineapple, raspberry, or a swirl combo of the two. We went with the pineapple in a waffle cone. The last time I had a Dole Whip was at a tiki bar in Las Vegas this past spring. It was delicious.

State Fair 2019 (First Visit) - Selfies
Sunday, August 25, 2019
We had to leave around 5:30 p.m. so we could get home to feed Athena by 6:00. We stopped on the way out of the North End entrance for some more selfies. This time I convinced Dale to join me.

I offered to photograph Dale but he wasn't too into it.

State Fair 2018 (Second Visit) - Education Building
Sunday, September 2, 2018
About a week ago on my last trip to the fair, I completed the walking tour. Upon finishing the tour you could turn in the brochure at the Minnesota Historical Society Booth in the Education Building with the stops punched out for a prize. I pooped out and didn't make it in for the exchange. I resolved to stop in this visit to see what the prize was. However, I forgot to bring along the brochure.
I told the woman at the Minnesota Historical Society booth and she said she believed I completed the trek and would give me the prize anyway although she thought I might not want it when I saw what it was.
It turned out to be a water bottle that could clip on to your belt! Of course I wanted that!!
I asked her about the Grandstand stop of the tour and told her I couldn't find the punching station. She told me she thought someone probably stole it as other folks have had the same problem. Dale and I found it this trip. I don't know how I missed it last time.
The volunteer at the MNHS booth also took our picture in front of a green screen and we got to choose the background. We went with the Split Rock Light House.
The Education Building also held lots of artwork of students around the state.
I was rather taken with this sock puppet.

The corn stand is always a favorite of mine. Still only $3 an ear.

State Fair 2016 - Ice Fishing Houses
Friday, September 2, 2016
Probably the only time I'll be able to say I was in an ice-fishing house. Only at the State Fair.
