Still battling the COVID-19 pandemic, and especially the dangerous Delta variant of the virus, many people are probably going to sit out the Minnesota State Fair which begins this Thursday.
For so many Minnesotans it’s the state fair food that draws them back every year. The lines for the fair’s food drive-through last summer and fall was evidence of that. Paying for a chance to stay in your car, and then pay for your favorite state fair foods is definitely a big clue.
For those that are passing on this year’s fair experience, you do have a chance to enjoy a few fair favorites at home however.
