Second State Fair Visit

Well, this one was even better than the first, as I got to see a lot more things than just one band. And anyone who has ever been to the MN State Fair knows that there are a zillion things to see. Unfortunately, I DID miss all the crap that they sell in the Grandstand. Prolly a good thing.
Kari and I had to hit the usual Spam Curds stand, as always!


Couldn't resist a shot of the super fabulous Kitty Tea Party in the Creative Arts Building!


This is my buddy Pete from his band The Twistin Tarantulas. I can't even remember the last time I saw him, much less have time to chat and catch up. I knew from their MySpace page that he had gotten engaged, but it seems that he and his fiance did the deed 4 weeks ago! Congratulations!

Annual Food Rundown:
Spam Curds: Seemed a little extra salty this year, but I'm sorry, you can't go wrong. Excellent for sharing.
Espresso Roasted Almonds: Nom. Nomnomnomnomnom.
Fried Green Tomatos: Oh. Yeah. I always forget how much I love those.
Cheese on a Stick: Molten American Cheese, battered and deep fried with mustard. Doesn't really get much yummier than that.
Schell's Oktoberfest Beer: Always a winner - locally brewed, one of my faves.
Hotdish on a Stick: Only had a nibble of Kari's, but always good!
Fresh Strawberries with Cream: REAL CREAM, none of that Redi-Whip crap. Gooey fresh goodness.

IMHO, 10 days is NOT long enough for the Fair. I'm writing my congressperson and insisting it go for the entire month of August...
