I lived in Iowa for 21 years and never went to the state fair.

Went to Toronto a few weeks ago and I tell you what, if it didn’t get so cold there, I’d totally live there. Awesome city. Also, didn’t realize it’s actually further south than Minneapolis.
I am there right now working in the 4-H Building and will be here the duration of the fair. Not all hours, all days, but everyday. Different likes for different folks. I also like the Craft Beer tent and viewing all the fine arts and photography entries in the Cultural Center. Walk through the barns and say hi to people I know. People watching is an absolute blast anywhere on the grounds.
It doesn’t bother me a bit that some people don’t care for it. Doesn’t lessen my enjoyment.
It was a work event so I didn’t get to explore too much. We did dinner at the fancy restaurant at the top of the CN Tower, the spinning restaurant? That was pretty cool.
Totally. I wouldn't mind going but it can get pricey and time consuming when you don't live right there. My mom used to take us in like elementary school for a day as a last big thing before school starts and we would leave by 7 or so and not get home until 9ish. That's a long day with kids and four of those hours were driving.
Two weeks until my daughter moves to college. I'm not sure about this whole college thing. What's so wrong with going to Rasmussen College and having your brother drop you off on his way to high school?
She's going to Drake isn't she? Nice campus I'm guessing she'll like it. Plus if you come to Ames for FB she'll have a place to tailgate (At least eat food she'll probably be in the student lots the rest of the time
)
Too bad, I know how that goes. Been to Brea, Ca twice for work and still never saw the Pacific Ocean.
Turned out the second fire of the day was tied to the first fire of the day. Two separate systems that do business together so the link went down when they crashed that first system.
Better than chasing calls and sitting on fires.
Get to go to the State Fair through work. We get coupons to like 5 or 6 different places and $50 cash.
@BCClone - Are you still considering a trip to Duluth? We just got back and I feel more edumacated about it. The thing I didn't realize would be so spectacular were the ships leaving and entering the harbor. We were by the harbor canal one night. A 750 foot ship left and a half hour later a 1004 foot ship came in. That's a big boat.
Man, you haven't lived until you pull a hair from your gf out of your dogs butt with a turd dangling from the end.
