Twin City Photos

I love the the Minnesota State Fair, so this will be the first installment of a mini photo blog series about the Minnesota State Fair. Though many people I know seem to tire of it at after the years, I enjoy it more and more as time goes on. Sure, if you just hit the highlights they quickly get old. But there are just so many nook and cranny areas and events, you could spent a long time before you cover them again. This is the first installment for this year.

From what I can tell it wasn’t a record crowd. There was still room to walk without bumping into someone. The weather sure was cooperating. Low humidity low eighties, just doesn’t get better than that.

Ouch. Well not really. That sword was well rounded with no sharp edges or tip. Still quite a feat.

Hard to believe you can grow grapes to make wine in Minnesota, but I guess you can. Or don’t use grapes to start with. One the right is a made from Raspberry, one in the middle from Rhubarb, and one on the left from Plum. Yum.

Finally, on the way out, I stopped at one of the band stands. You are never disappointed if you do. The Minnesota State Fair only books class acts, and this one was no exception. I shot about 50 pictures of Candy Coburn. You have to when you’re trying to get a shot of an energetic show such as this. Candy is quite the performer, pleasing to the eye, great voice, and plays the guitar quite well. More to come.

Thats’s it for today.
