Minnesota State Fair
Real Dad Blog Version: This new dad took my 10-month-old son to get fat at the Minnesota State Fair.
Ever since I was a boy I have been going to the Great Minnesota Get Together better know as the Minnesota State Fair. I remember my parents taking me there, eating as many corn dogs I could and riding rides to my hearts content at the Mighty Midway. I have probably only missed five or six state fairs throughout my life. I love the people watching, the food and just walking around the fairgrounds. These memories I want to past down to my kids. My wife has agreed to join me on this venture since she loves the fair too.
Rylan and Jack, Friends at the Minnesota State Fair
Every year and every future year, I want to go to the Minnesota State Fair with my family. I am going to instill this yearly trip to my kids. It will be an annual thing we do. We took Rylan to his first Minnesota State Fair yesterday. Being only ten-months-old he had his first taste of a corn dog and a chocolate Dairy Barn Milkshake. These are the two things I get every year at the fair. A milkshake is probably not the best thing to give to your 10 month old but he sure loved the thing. That is one of those things I will not tell the doctor at his 1-year-old doctor appointment.
Going around in style at the Minnesota State Fair
Even though Rylan will not remember a thing about going to his first Minnesota State Fair, I will have the memory of sharing one of my favorite things in the world with him, going to the Minnesota State Fair. I hope someday my love the State Fair will be passed to Rylan and our future kids. I am excited for them to remember their trips.
I just hope that by the time my kids get into their 20’s and 30’s, every single thing at the fair, is not required to be on stick. I can’t believe that almost everything is made on a stick. When I first started going to the fair it was still just the corn dog and pronto pup.
Time for me to start running off all those calories I ate yesterday. Since being a dad I honestly cannot eat like a 17 year old anymore.
A little side fact about the Minnesota State Fair: It has the largest daily attendance of any the states fairs. Texas has the most per fair, but Minnesota has the most people per day. 1.6 million people visit in the 10 days it is open.

Everything tastes better on a stick! My favorite part about the fair is the mini deep fried sugar donuts!
