Love the photos! The Minnesota state fair, in case you didn't mention it for your readers, is the #2 in the US for total attendance-- behind only Texas (and theirs runs longer). Some others are much more lightly attended, such as the Upper Penninsula State Fair in Michigan (they have two there) and the Alaska state fair. I worked at the Oregon State Fair hawking cheese in high school and really enjoyed going every day for ten hours! The foods were a big deal even in the 1980s at that much smaller fair.
