    Yup. I'm going and I'm in MN too :)

    That place is a hotbed of temptation for sure :P

    a friend of mine who is there today told me that he had sweet corn ice cream with honey bacon syrup. OMG. Sweet corn ice cream?! WHY hasn't someone informed me about this until today?!

    I went Thursday and had a great time. I had my favorites: a corn dog (see profile pic), strawberry-rhubarb sundae from the dairy building, fries, and sweet martha's cookies + all you can drink milk.

    Have a great time :)

    My kids are buggin me to go, so I'll probably take them at some point. Last year was the first time I'd gone since I started losing weight, & I had all these grandiose visions of eating All The Food. It was going to be legendary. Then I got there & over the course of a couple of hours, had my corn dog, fries, mini donuts, & something in the ice cream family, & was STUFFED. The 12 other things I just knew I was going to eat didn't get eaten (by me, anyway).

    So the lesson learned here is this: Decide in advance what The Absolute Best Foods are to eat at the state fair before you go & eat them in that order...because you may not get to the end of the list. :wink:

    My plan for this year is to eat a corn dog, fries, mini donuts, & possibly some variety of cheese curds. Ice cream is kinda "meh" for me, & I can get great ice cream at Cub. Roasted corn is amazing too, but I can get that at the farmer's market.

    Someone told me there's other stuff at the fair besides food, but I don't believe it.
