It's never too early to start thinking about the Minnesota State Fair! It's the best fair I've been to, and I can't wait to go back again this year! 

But it does take a little planning. The most important part of the plan is always to get there early. Evenings and weekends, the crowds are crazy! I like to walk through the fairgrounds when you don't have to bump elbows with the stranger walking next to you. And if I want to sit down and enjoy a pickle on a stick, I don't want to squeeze in between anyone. If only they could open the gates to just me. And maybe a few friends, for a few hours one day. That would be great!

See you at the Great Minnesota Get-Together this summer!
