The Great Minnesota Get-Together! Full of fun, festivities and fatty foods! On a stick! (Oddly enough, we had plenty of things to eat today, but all of it was distinctly lacking in the stick department. Fatty, on the other hand…)

The Minnesota State Fair. Because of all the things mentioned above. Plus cheese curds. Definitely cheese curds.

Cheese curds. My trip to the Fair isn’t complete until I’ve had some. NOM NOM NOM…

Free State Fair tickets. “If I work a four-hour shift at the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota’s State Fair booth, they’ll give me free tickets? Sure!”
-
Free t-shirts. “If I work a four-hour shift at the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota’s State Fair booth, they’ll give me a free t-shirt? Sure!”

That’s right, we made them work for their free stuff! Hey, wait a second…
