The Minnesota State Fair is nearly upon us, and this is a very exciting year for the fair.  They’re opening the new West End Market which includes the Minnesota State Fair History & Heritage Center, two new stages, and 5 new food vendors.

This year’s line-up for the Grandstand shows looks to have something for everybody, with stars like Toby Keith, Aretha Franklin, Kid Rock, Tim McGraw, and Garrison Keillor.

The fair runs from August 21 through Labor Day, September 1.  You can get discounts on admission tickets, Blue Ribbon Bargain Books, and all of the shows at the Grandstand through the Minnesota State Fair website.  I can hardly wait!
