We went on Tuesday . . . $8.00 admission day. I was worried there would be a bazillion other people fighting for a piece of asphalt on which to stand. The weather was perfectly sunny and not too hot. The loving husband took personal time off for the afternoon in an attempt to avoid the crowds. Amazingly, the crowds were slim on Tuesday despite the discounted entrance fee.
The fair is a fantastic place to experience sensory overload. Sights, smells, sounds, and sales all vie for the fair goer's attention. Almost everything comes on a stick, even some things that shouldn't! Fat grams and sugar call from every corner. Sales people hawk their wares.
Snowflakes surprised me in the creative activities building. The maker of this quilt had patience beyond imagination to fill a whole quilt with unique snowflakes. Even though I "snip away at real estate until a snowflake is formed", there's no way I could accomplish this beautiful work.
Tonight the giant ferris wheel rose as the sun went down on the last day of this year's fair. Once again the Great Minnesota Get Together was just that, a great get-together!
Was just surfing the web and I can a cross you site and I have to say that I am greatly impressed. Thank-you! --Acumen Press
