Minnesota State Fair

I have mixed feelings about the Minnesota State Fair. My family goes every year and I still have not been able to decide whether or not I like it. I like the milk shakes, the all-you-can-drink chocolate milk, the Sweet Martha's Cookies, and the french fries. I also like seeing the art projects there, as well as watching the dog and horse shows. However, I do not like walking through the huge throngs of people and waiting in line. It also is nerve wracking to realize one of your little brothers is missing, which usually happens. I have three of them, and during the course of the fair, one of them is bound to get lost. This year it was the youngest. He stopped to look at a robot in the Education building, and did not see us leave. Luckily, I was able to spot him in the crowd and track him down. This year, my feelings were even more mixed than usual about the State Fair. I was disappointed because there was no chocolate milk! That is my favorite part of the fair (plus, it is probably the only dairy I get all year, because I usually hate milk). So that was a low-light. The highlight was the giant pickle on a stick I ate. Delicious! So, once more, I am unable to decide whether or not I love the Minnesota State Fair.

  1. I went to the state fair the first friday and they had the chocolate milk and I can tell you it tasted AMAZING! I can definetly see why you are debating on whether or not you like the state fair. There's always pros and cons to things. I can relate to what you wrote :)

  2. Abby - this post actually made me laugh out loud. I can just vizualize your changing emotions as you walk around the fair. I have no brothers myself so I cannot really relate, but I found the story about your little brother so comical.
    P.S. - I agree... Sweet Martha's Cookies with the all-you-can-drink milk is definitely the best part of the fair.
