State Fair - Round 2!

Creative Arts Building - a "figure" made entirely out of the free address labels we all receive in the mail - they all had the same name on them - probably the designer of the artwork! Bonus day today for $7 admission for a senior with a library card - can't beat that!

Thanks to my good friend Mardelle who shared the day with me, drove us there, parked us free in her friend's yard just a little over a block from the entrance gate - THANKS MARDIE:) We did visit the Spam building and each bought a $3 can of Spam - she bought garlic (much sold in Asia) and I black pepper (much sold in Europe)- they said they weren't sold in the US.

Got my raspberry malt in the Dairy building, salad on a stick, taste of corn dog, roasted pecans - mmmmm good - can't wait until next year. The Los Angeles Times does rate the MN State Fair as the best in the nation.

In the food building - lined up jars of jam and jelly - what a beautiful picture it was. We did note however that instead of having a flavor on some of the labels it was "undesignated" - hmmm - makes you wonder what it was.

Now looking forward to a family bbq in a couple days - 4 little kids and 8 grandparents and parents! Should be a hoot as usual.
