It's MN State Fair Time!

It is hard to think of August and not think about the great Minnesota get together, Aka The MN State Fair. The MN State Fair is the 2nd largest state fair in the country attracting over 1.6 million people every year. How many of us have great memories both as a child and as an adult of going to the Fair? If you are like me you find yourself telling your children about what you used to do at the Fair as you walk around the grounds with your family. (Yes, they just roll their eyes, but gosh darn it, they are going to hear it, right? Ha!)
So what is new at the Fair this year? Let's take a look at just a few.

• In the Kidway there are 2 new rides that should be a hit. Jumping Jumbo's and Down on the Farm Tractor Ride. 
• An inflatable sculpture that you can walk through called the "Luminarium".
• In the mighty Midway there are no less than 7 new rides for your older kids and mom and dad.
• There is a giant sandbox now where mom and dad can take a load off while still keeping the little one's entertained.
• Boys and girls ages 5 to 15 can test their skills when they tackle The Boy Scouts Adventure Summit.
• Some new foods to try this year are camel burgers, bacon ice cream, cereal  ice cream,  cranberry wontons, classic walleye roll, and red velvet funnel cake, just to name a few. Are you hungry yet?

Head over to the MN State Fair website if you want to see all the changes, admission prices and shuttle bus service. We would love to hear about your experiences at the State Fair so feel free to comment and tell us about them. See you at the Fair!
