Minnesota State Fair - First visit 8.28.15

We visited the Minnesota State Fair on Friday for our first visit. We plant on getting another visit in over Labor day weekend. I wanted to share a few photos while the fair is still going on.

I was not very excited about new fair foods, so we stuck mainly to old favorites. A lot of the new foods simply didn't sound appealing or worth the money.

I started with a Schell's blueberry beer with frozen blueberry foam. This was new in 2014 and I had hoped it would be back again this year. Still good!

 pronto pup, far superior to the corn dog in my opinion!

 Beer flights from the MN Craft brewers sampling booth. 

 John with the mascot of the MN United Soccer team. I think we need to try and attend a game. 

 Fries from World's Greatest French Fries were very good this year, very crisp and fresh. 

 We seriously only drink RC Cola at the State Fair.

 Sweet corn from the MN Corn Roast stand. Excellent as always. 

 John's favorite Turkey to Go turkey sandwich. 

I tried one new item, a blueberry and apple pie from the new stand Sarah's Tipsy Pies. The pie would've been better if served warm, and the drizzle of liquid didn't add much to it, though the drizzle was not generous either. The crust was crisp and it tasted fresh though. But, I'm not sure I'd go back.

We had a lot of fun walking around and looking at people, places and things as usual. We have a lot more items left to sample, so look for another installment next week! In the meantime, have a great time at the Minnesota State Fair if you get a chance to go!
