Today is the first day of the 2013 Minnesota State Fair. If you are from Minnesota and didn’t know that you’re either living in a cave or you don’t care about the fair at all. If you live in a cave you probably won’t benefit from this post anyway, so carry on with that cave stuff you do. If you fall into the latter category, not caring about the fair at all, well I just pity you because obviously you don’t get it.
You may say you don’t like the crowds. It’s true, there are lots of people at the fair. How can all of these people love the fair and you don’t? There’s got to be something wrong with you.
This is an optical illusion. There is actually space between all of these people. Walking with, through, and even against the mob is quite possible.
Maybe you don’t want to see the midway because you don’t like going on rides. What’s with that?! You don’t have to ride the rides to take in the excitement. The lights alone will give you a thrill.
Whee!
Are you afraid you won’t get a healthy, balanced meal at the fair? So what! You eat healthy fifty weeks out of the year; I think a little indulgence at the fair won’t hurt you. Besides, if you live in Minnesota you need to start packing on that winter fat for those sub-zero days. Yes, they’re coming, and will be here before you know it. Here, have something on a stick.
Always Pronto Pups. Not corn dogs. Not Poncho Dogs. Pronto Pups.
Well, if you still don’t want to come to the fair I won’t force you, but you’ll be missing out on the highlight of the summer. I’m going and I’m going to have a ball. It’s Minnesota summer’s last hurrah and I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
