It’s that time of the year again 
People watching, eating fried foods, and more people watching 
What are your favorite fair foods?
A few of mine are:
Sausages by Cynthia, Italian sausage 
Corn on the cob
Cheese curds
Cinnie Smiths, mini cinnamon rolls 
Australian potatoes
Don’t forget that there is a new phone app for the fair also this year

For sure the potato skins in the food building. I will eat my weights worth.
Nitro Ice Cream and fried pickles Oh ya and
My son and daughter inlaw live in Minnetonka,so mom and i are going with them Sunday for our first time.All they talk about is the food can’t wait YUM YUM.
Deep Fried…..everything !!! Going saturday
Still waiting to see deep fried beer on a stick. 
Was 17 years old the last time I went to the fair. Think anything has changed in 39 years that would make it worth my time?
I forget the vendors name but they sell the
BUCKETS of SOFT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Mike, I have beer and a deep fryer. I say we work on it nightly….
By next year we should have something to sell at the fair

I would rather go to County or City fairs….Less people and better food!! Is there anything better than the “Church Booth” foods????
If anybody goes Thursday or Friday stop at the Isle of Breeds and say Hello to my friend Carolyn who will be there with her mini horses.
Walleye cakes at Giggles Campfire!
If you people don’t try them, I’m gonna

I skipped it for about 35 years from 75 to 2010 and the only difference I really noted (other than more different types of food) was that machinery hill did not have nay machinery any more. 
and they got rid of the MIDWAY 
I loved going through there…. 
I have about 10 “really good” stories about the MIDWAY…
Where is the IDOFishing booth located???

Can I post PDFs on here? We made up State Fair Bingo cards last year. It was a ton of fun. Not very PC though…

Similar, I just made my own. These is some overlap.
What are the Australian potatoes? I’ve heard them quite a bit, but haven’t heard what they are. It is on the list along with the porkchop on a stick and deep fried pickles.
Had the pickles for the first time last year and loved them.
Pork chop on a stick doesn’t seem to be as good as when they first started it. It might just be me, but I thought that the cuts used to be better and thicker.
Machinery hill is fewer farm implements, but more boats and cars! Much more to my liking.
I always used to take the kids there to show them the farm stuff I grew up using, but now that they are in MS, they are bored with it.
Some good boat displays though in recent years. Might go tomorrow.
I cannot stand the smell of that burnt corn cobs, so I could never buy one.
I do enjoy the shakes from the dairy building, the fresh cut fries, and sweet martha’s cookies!!
ET
I’ll be there tomorrow afternoon.

They are really good. You can get them with ranch and/or cheese sauce. It is usually our first stop because we enter the fair on that end.
Our family is going tomorrow too.
