Over 25 years ago - by pure happenstance - I saw country singer Lionel Cartwright in one of the free pavilions at the Minnesota State Fair. I was already at the fair and happened upon the concerts start just by chance. The show made my day and I am still glad that I had the opportunity to see him in concert - especially for free!
I love people watching, and the Minnesota State Fair is a great place to do it.. Beside the great food and rows of booths we all expect to see, there are also some very funny sights. One enterprising individual decided to take advantage of these sights, making a hilarious bingo game of it...
It's fair season! Lovers of fried foods, carnival rides, animals, and music need to look no further than Floodwood this weekend as the Southwest St Louis County Fair happens Friday through Sunday, August 23-25.
Car racing is coming to the BIG track at the Carlton County Fair. There's nothing like being right there for the action. I went to see a dirt track race one time in Nashville TN after it rained and came home with little pellets of mud all over my jacket.
