Sate Fair 2016

Friday, September 2, 2016

I only made it to the fair once this year as compared to multiple trips each of the past few years. Regardless, all the magic was there and Dale and I both commented at the end that it was one of our best visits ever.

State Fair 2016 - Ice Fishing Houses

Friday, September 2, 2016


Dale and I checked out the ice fishing houses on display at the Minnesota State Fair. They were basically little mobile homes with some of them not so little! I'd like to get one for our back yard and set it up as a tiki bar.

Probably the only time I'll be able to say I was in an ice-fishing house. Only at the State Fair.

Planned to get some this on the walk back to the car but found I was too stuffed. Guess it's the thought that counts. One of my favorites going WAY back.

State Fair 2016 - Blue Moon Dine-In Theater

Friday, September 2, 2016

Dale and I stopped at the Blue Moon Dine-In Theater just before heading to the Midway for Garrison Keillor's The Minnesota Show. Dale needed a bit more dinner so he got a brat. I however was ready for dessert and got the chilled bread pudding which I got last year as well. Very yummy although very rich and I actually couldn't finish the whole thing. That NEVER happens. The movie being shown was The Great Escape which I've never seen. It would've been fun to watch a little more but time was of the essence we were within a half hour of the performance. Thankfully Blue Moon is right next to the Midway.
