State Fair Set All-Time Attendance Record Yesterday

If you were at the Minnesota State Fair yesterday it might have seemed a little crowded. On the upside, you were part of history as yesterday's attendance of 260,374 was the most for any single day at the Fair -- ever!

Yesterday (9/3) was the third time this year that the Fair set single-day records; the other two being set for the first Friday (141,023 on 8/26) and for the second Friday (182,926 on 9/2). In fact, this year's Fair could break the record for total attendance, set in 2014 when more than 1.8 million people passed through the gates.

The final day of the Great Minnesota Get Together is tomorrow (then it's back to school).
