Ah! Don't tempt me! I wanted to fly home for the fair but can't make it this year.

I love the fair! I have a very specific list of foods that I always get, and try new foods too of course. Here's my ideal day at the fair.

As soon as I get there, I go straight to the crepe stand and get a bacon and cheese crepe. I've been getting these since I was a kid and to this day, they are still the best crepes I've ever had. After that, the order of what I get and when I get it kinda varies, but includes:

- a ride on the Skyride

- the UMN apple building for an apple cider freeze

- corn. on. the. cob.

- a beer at the beer gardens to walk around with

- and I always finish my fair trip with a big bucket of sweet martha's cookies (eat until you can close the bucket with the lid and bring the rest home!)

That sounds like a fun itinerary, Nina! I've never gotten a crepe at the fair. If I go, I'll get one for you!

If I were dropped off at the MN State Fair, I would take an Uber to the Walker Museum to catch the Keith Haring exhibit, have the lunch I packed in the sculpture garden, take a walk, and then write until they made me leave. 😉💜

Lol! That's funny! We just walked to the Sculpture Garden this morning! I get it! What a great day! While you're at it pop into Cardamon for the mezze platter. Yum!
