Get there early...It fills up fast. I caught a little bit of Blood, Sweat, and Tears last year, the seats were filled awhile before the show started.

Do you have beer on a stick? We do. :D

Nope. We're waaayyyy too smart to do that. As the comments point out:

"The alcohol does not freeze and moves to the outside, so you're left with one strong swig of near straight alcohol, and a block of non-alcoholic beer flavoured ice. If you inject it with syrup and lime first, you'd end up with the exact same thing, except the ice would be beer & syrup & lime flavoured. I'll stick with freezing a beer being a bad thing."

and

"an aluminum can cut with a serrated knife met with a drunken tongue and lips sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. A refreshing disaster."

But there is Summit on a stick at the MSF. I saw it yesterday and the beer was cold, and liquid, just like it should be. :)
 
Re: 2010 Minnesota State Fair

I myself don't get the fascination with the state fair. It's too overcrowded, is a pain in the neck to get to (possibly do to the overcrowding), and is over-hyped (I swear every single media is there).

The county fairs have just as good food, the lines aren't anywhere near as long, the concerts are just as good. Heck, at the Carver County fair you get Rodeo for free.

For me the state fair doesn't compare to the county fairs.

If its hard to get to, you are doing it wrong.

If you live in the metro area you should be taking the express bus from any of about 10 locations around town. Fast and frequent and i believe most run till midnight.

No driving or parking hassles.

I'm pretty sure county fairs don't get Tim McGraw or Carrie Underwood. :rolleyes:

Saying you like county fairs better than the state fair is like saying you like the high school section tournaments better than the state tournament.
