  • The next best thing to being there

    As someone living far away from my beloved home state of Minnesota, I only make it back for the Fair every few years or so. But I get nostalgic for it every year. Listening to this makes me feel like I’m there, and it’s such an interesting and fun way to celebrate the Great Minnesotan Get-Together. Thank you, Info Booth Ladies!
