Minnesota State Fair 2012 - Dates

I found this on the State Fair's website today.

Memorial Day 2012

Memorial Day was a couple days ago and the Facebook page for the Minnesota State Fair posted this historic picture from 1942:

The caption read: "In honor of Memorial Day, we present this photo by Simacek from the 1942 Minnesota State Fair. It depicts U.S. sailors standing at attention on a floral field of red, white and blue for The Navy Day program, held to assist in recruitment for World War II."

2010 - Butter Queen Wannabe

Dale and I didn't go to the State Fair in 2010 but I found a Facebook App where you could "Butter-fy" yourself into a butterhead. This is how I turned out.

Winter Visit Part 3 - Other Sights

It was a gorgeous, sunny winter day at the Fairgrounds. Strangely warm with no snow.

Winter Visit Part 2 - The Midway

This is where the Midway is. Again, oddly, it seems smaller with nothing there.

Winter Visit Part 1

Dale and I had some business over by the fair grounds today so we decided to make a stop. Oddly, it seemed smaller with no one around.
