That's just a taste of what you'll find at the fair this year...I'm excited to explore it myself as this will be my first year in Fillmore County. I'm not sure what to expect, since I grew up in Owatonna, MN--home of the Steele County Fair which is the largest County Fair in the state! I fear I have been spoiled... All the same, I'm looking forward to the church service, the excitement of having all different kinds of animals around, the food, the talent show and other local skills, and the Subway eating contest (though that sounds like an oxymoron). There will also be a tractor pull, a hypnotist, a dance, and a Guitar Hero contest, so come on out to the fair this week! Coffee Street Inn has a few openings left for the remaining weeknights of the fair, and other lodging has availability for the weekend.
That sounds like lots of fun!
