Every year, Minnesotans look forward to "The Great Minnesota Get-Together," the Minnesota State Fair. It is the largest state fair in the United States by average daily attendance. Last year a record 1,943,719 people attended the Fair. With 320 acres of attractions and competitions covering livestock, horticulture, art, 4-H, science, music, carved butter heads, a lively midway, politicians, parades, and all manner of amazing food-on-a-stick, it’s quite spectacular. Since 1859 it has only been called off 5 times due to wartime hardships and a polio epidemic. It runs for 12 days at the end of August through Labor Day.
