    I've never been. We've lived in the state off and on for 10 years.... I've heard so much about the unbelievable food but, my health is more important than that. So I'm refraining from indulging, though I MAY have one treat.... I hear those cookies are phenominal, and I'm a sucker for a good chocolate chip cookie.

    Good Luck to all of you, and I hope your tummy's don't get too upset.

    I totally agree with carlsoda-Martha's cookies and free milk!

    I live several hours away from the Twin Cities and we'll get home late so doubt I'll log in that day.

    Does anyone else purchase the Blue Ribbon book and how many coupons do you find yourself using?

    I always buy the book and I tend to use at least 4-5 for each day I go. I usually share with my sister or dad also. If there are ones that I won't use, I hand them to people in line of the place I'm never gonna eat at so they don't go to waste!

    I am super excited! I love the State Fair! One day I hope to be able to get on rides but until then I will just be walking.

    We usually buy 2 books before the fair and generally end up with 4 by the end lol! We use several of the coupons though so it's a great deal for us!

    Some that I can think of are the java/mocha frappe, hawaiian shaved ice, wild rice burger, etc..!

    Last year we couldn't even give ours away! We went 2 days and after we knew we wouldn't be going again, we offered it to people on the way out; I think people assumed we wanted money for it, but we really just wanted other people to use it so it didn't go to waste!

    Looks like I'll be going on opening day. OOF.

    I go about once every 5-10 years and I went last year so I'm good for another 9 years or so ;-) The fanatical amount of people scare me... not into crowds

    Me too!! So so so delicious!

    We always go on opening day and then 5 or 6 more times. We actually rented an RV last year and camped at the fair the whole time and we will be doing that again this year! Cannot wait!

    Oh man, that sounds like fun. I'm so lucky, I live near the 280 ramp on Larpenteur, so it's just down the way from my house. We were thinking about leaving the car at home this year, but I don't think I can ask my five year old to do all that walking!

    Oh, BTW. It is totally worth it to invest in the coupon book. Also, do try the deep fried veggies on a stick. They are phenomenal!!

    They have free park and ride shuttles. If you look on line, they will give you the location and they drop you off right at the door!!
