MN State Fair 2011 (Part 2)

Round 1 was on a Monday Round 2 was the following Saturday & it was just me & Mom =)  We wandered around & it was even more crowded, but a really nice day - not to hot but sunny & lovely.  We tried a few foods we missed the first time around, and we wandered around inside of places like the grandstand & the creative arts building.

 

We still managed to try a lot of foods, even with only 2 mouths instead of 4 =)  ziplock baggies came SO in handy this round as well.  I don't think I took pics of everything, like stuff we had the first time around, but I got a lot more pics of other stuff.

 

Mom's Corn dog:

 

 

Sample of sweet potato fries:

 

 

More deep fried mashed potatoes for me - one to eat & one to take home LOL:

 

 

Lemonade - we decided this stand (near the horse barn) was not one of the best because of all the ice & the huge piece of lemon, meant you actually didn't get that much lemonade:

 

 

Corn on the cob ... best corn on the cob ever if I didn't mention last post, so sweet & literally dipped in butter:

 

 

More lemonade (since the first didn't last long!)

 

Mom fell in love with this adorable little house:

 

 

Cheese curds - from a different stand, orange curds instead of white & served with marinara instead of ketchup:

 

 

Chicken fried bacon with cinnamon maple sauce:

 

 

Some cool crafts from the creative arts building - lots of cross stitch which many of you know I love even though I rarely get time to do it myself anymore:

 

Little fairy-house display in the horticulture building:

 

Bonsai!:

 

Orchids:

 

Peaches & whipped cream crepe:

 

 

Another teriyaki chicken & egg roll:

 

 

& another deep fried cookie dough - this pic with a bit out so you can see the deliciously gooey center:

 

 

And there you have it =)  Going to edit & post my first Halloween look now - thanks for reading.
