Minnesota State Fair

It that time of year again! Minnesota State Fair which means I got to hang out with friends, eat a ton of food and find a new stupid hat. This year was no exception :) As a bonus, the weather was so fantastic that the fair had record attendance they day we went. Over 236,000 people were there!

Bird nerds with the U of M Rochester Raptor!

Trying a new ice cream & espresso duo. AMAZING!

State Fair!

I braved the Minnesota State Fair again this year. The mission of the day: ridiculous hats and cheese curds.

Anna, Jeff and I showing off ridiculous hat #1: Invasive Species

Peregrine Seed Art

Wall of plastic bottles - crazy to see how many Minnesota goes through in just 5 minutes!

Junk Sculpture

Me and Anna with ridiculous hat #2: Mosquito and Deer

By the end of the day I was a little sunburned, sweaty, had a stomach full of cheese and 2 fun hats. I also got to spend the day hanging out with some friends. I would say Mission Completed! :)

MN State Fair

Here I am, showing off my awesome Walleye hat that I got at the Minnesota State Fair today. It was quite the event with lots of crazy people watching and a little bit of food. All I managed to eat was an ice cream cone, roasted corn on the cob and a coffee. Not too impressive but my stomach was not amused. We lucked out with the weather and had a great day :)
