On a stick

It's that time of year again.

The Great Minnesota Get Together.

The Minnesota State Fair commences today.

12 days of people watching and gorging on every kind of food you can imagine, all  served on a stick!

Walleye
Porkchop
Deep fried candy bars
pronto pups
funnel cakes
cream puffs
fried green tomatoes
mini donuts
and everybody's favorite:  SWEET MARTHA'S COOKIES!

The list of food is endless.  I have talked to many who work out and save up calories so they can "spend" them on deep fried gluttony!

One stand that I always remember going to with my dad is the  "All you can drink" milk.  For .25, we would get some of those famous cookies, and then go to the milk stand and eat and drink until the cookies were gone.  I know for sure it's not .25 anymore!

Did you know that over the course of the state fair, 26,000 gallons of milk are consumed?
AND
22,000 rolls of toilet paper gets used!

To get an overview of all the fun, here is the  state fair website.  Be sure to click on all the food booths.  Makes me full just looking at it!

Are you going?
