The State Fair Daily
- Minnesota State Fair Daily: Day One With tums in pocket, and extra phone chargers in hand, the journey begins. Let's. Eat. Fair food!
- Minnesota State Fair Daily: Day Two This just in: you won't melt. Also, plants eat animals, waffles make lines, and lime is the new beer.
- Minnesota State Fair Daily: Day Three Opening day hit a record 122,695 attendees! Today's YOUR day.
- Minnesota State Fair Daily: Day Four Chefs are in the park, sheep are wearing dresses, and the day kicks off with a milk run. Yep, it's first Sunday of the Fair.
- Minnesota State Fair Daily: Day Five Slay this Monday with the unicorn magic of a Rainbow Cloud Roll and a swoosh down the Giant Slide.
- Minnesota State Fair Daily: Day Six Your Moo Bar shake is half-empty or half-full: six down, six to go. Go watch the farm kids' musical and carve your own head out of butter or we might take away your MN card.
- Minnesota State Fair Daily: Day Seven How do you beat hump day? By sporting a bee beard, learning the tango, and jamming to Neil Diamond. All available on Day 7.
- Minnesota State Fair Daily: Day Eight Day 8 and feeling great! How can you not, with celebrity butter carving, llama obstacle courses, and a brand new Fair food?
- Minnesota State Fair Daily: Day Nine The last day of August holds magical inventions, zydeco grooves, beer malts, and some chat time with your (maybe) future Gov.
- Minnesota State Fair Daily: Day Ten You snooze, you lose. It's the LAST Saturday of the Fair! Chug-a-lug some milk and watch fast horses before you can't.
- Minnesota State Fair Daily: Day Eleven BONUS! Your Sunday is actually like a Saturday, so let's stay up late and eat buckets of cookies, moo like cows, and listen to cheesemakers talk wine.
- Minnesota State Fair Daily: Day Twelve This is your last day to carve dairy, watch bull riders, and see synchronized Dobermans before it all vanishes.
