I've never been to a state fair before

[Mesarthim]

so I went to the Minnesota state fair today. it was quintessential americana for sure.

lots of livestock was seen, went on some carnival rides, viewed various art competitions, looked at some cool technology exhibitions, drank some beer, and ate a whole lot of different foods on a stick.
the best part was that it was overcast and cool all day - never got above 65F/18C

Grew up going to the Texas State fair. Minnesota State Fair is the largest glad you had fun!

[Mesarthim]

I feel like there are really only a couple of state fairs that are known well outside of their respective states. Texas and Minnesota are it for sure.

[Noyka]

Yes sir Minnesota is internationally known, unsure if Texas is as well. Have not been to one in 16 years.

was there a food eating competition. they are more american than caring about american flags

the county fair was one of the few things to look forward to as a kid where i grew up. only been to the ky state fair once, it was cool

We take the kids to the maryland state fair every year. It's nothing crazy but they get a kick out of it.

Some of my wife's family does the 4h thing. So the kids go hang out with their cousins show off whatever livestock they brought.

[Verbal]

by your cousins livestock do you mean your cousins children

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

I got white trash roots gleeso, so if these were my cousins it'd be a very yes. But this is my wife's side of the family who actually runs a farm

[Verbal]

by a farm do you mean their household

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

I do not

[Verbal]

ok

[User]

glad that was sorted out

[Verbal]

you and me both

[User]

and yet, lingering questions

[Noyka]

At least nick’s family doesn’t shoot coyotes or squirrels from the porch.

[Verbal]

point blank is the way to go

and yet, lingering questions

I don't believe you
