In late summer we went to the state fair (also known as the Great Minnesota Get Together) in St. Paul. It was beautiful day and the crowds of people were having a good time. Plus eating.
Smokey the Bear rode in the big parade down the main street. We were in one of the pavilions when the parade headed our way. We just had to run outside and see what all the noise was about!
The Creative Arts pavilion is my favorite place to visit. I stand amazed at the hand crafted items that are on display. The sewing and needle crafts are always interesting to me. I especially like to see what the young 4-H members are presenting. Start 'em young, I say. The quilts are so beautiful and this wooden cathedral is astounding. The intricate detailing amazes me.
No trip to the fair would be complete without a bag of Tom Thumb donuts. Part of the fun is watching the miniature donuts being made in the donut machine.
The Hamline Dining Hall offers the only sit down/dine in food palace at the fair. Still going strong after all these years!! A lot of walking, a lot of tasting, a lot of fun. That about sums it up. A grand time was had by all.
