Minnesota State Fair 2016
Every year, my trek to the Great Minnesota Get-Together is both the same. And, absolutely different than years past. But, always, consistently, fun and memorable.
I always go to Day One of the Fair in Saint Paul with my “fair husband” Steve. We are particularly compatible as a fair couple because we like the same things, yes, but are also open to the choices of the other person. Plus, we share the food.

Iron Range Meat & Potatoes
So without further ado (because I know you are dying to find out) here is what we ate at the Fair:
- Iron Range Meat & Potatoes
- Pronto Pup®
- Honey Sunflower Ice Cream, Honey Lemonade, Honey Lemon Sorbet (can you tell I am a big fan of the honey wing of the Horticulture Building)
- waffle fries
- birch beer
- vanilla milkshake (only 2 spoonfuls; too creamy. Me, I like icey shakes)
- blue cheese & corn fritz
- candied bacon donut sliders
- cup of coffee, flight of dark beer, Clown Shoes chocolate porter, lots of water
- roasted corn
- cinnamon banana dark chocolate Jonny Pop.
