MINNESOTA STATE FAIR - The Great Minnesota Get-Together

If you are new to Minnesota or haven't experienced our MN State Fair, come join us as we plan to hang out together and have fun at the fair.

Where to Meet: Since there are various ways to get there and multiple gate entrances, let us plan to MEET INSIDE THE MAIN GATE BY THE GRANDSTAND (see #16 in map link) at 3:00PM.

Call/text me at 612-227-4835 for exact location as we will likely move around. Feel free to explore on your own and choose to regroup with us or not. A few of us will be hanging out together, so you are welcome to join us. We also plan to stay for the 10PM fireworks.
