Twin City Photos

Well the Minnesota State Fair 2008 is over. I went 3 times, and enjoyed every time. There are just so many things going on you could go every day and not cover everything. This was my first attempt at a sort of blogumentary, and most photos are really just snapshots that anyone could take. No pretense here. Just having fun.

Another shot of Candy Coburn.

Of course the State Fair is the culmination of the state’s county fairs, were kids and adults alike compete in areas such as creativity, horticulture, agriculture, etc. The winners and runner ups move on to the state fair. Though most don’t really need to actually attend the state fair, those who are exhibiting animals need to be there to take care of them. And they stay overnight! I can just imagine the partying that goes on. Probably not getting much sleep, but naps during the day make up for that.

“Am I tall enough mommy for this ride?” Don’t think so sweety. The look in her face says it all. You can’t even see the minimum height line. Don’t you sometimes wish life’s difficulties were no more serious than not being tall enough?

Befitting as the final photo of the Minnesota State Fair. Summer is essentially over, kids back to school. In characteristic Minnesota weather fashion, the high temperature this week is nearly 20 degrees lower than last week, with night time temperatures getting down to the high 40s in the Twin Cities area.

See you next year.
