Minnesota State Fairgrounds

We have lift off.

Melinda met us at the hotel and we all headed to the Minnesota State Fair.

Everything flashes, winks, or wiggles. "Look here, look here".

Last of my State Fair photos I've chosen to post. The crowds were low - I would have liked a whole mess of sliders at once for this picture... but sometimes you need to take what you can get.

Funny that yesterday's TRP pick was Inspired By Barbie because I saw this Barbie display in the toys exhibit last night at the California State Fair. She's definitely changed quite a bit in the last 50 years. And I'm still kind of jealous of that bitch! :-)

Wow, look at the hairdos and glasses. Brings back fun memories---we LOVED the Ohio State Fair.
