After flying from Denver to the twin cities and setting up our equipment yesterday, TODAY was my day off.   It turns out in addition to the Republicans about to begin their National Convention, Minnesota is hold it’s state fair here, not 5 minutes from where we happen to be staying.
 
We got Warren Olney’s goat at the fair and later with tip of the hat towards “Good Food”, I snapped a few shots of some of Minnesota’s offering to fair cuisine. Deep Fried Alligator and Teriyaki Ostrich on a Stick stood out for me, but under the “I can’t believe I saw it there…” category, Deep Fried Spam Curds are at the top of my list.
 
For the record, I lost nearly 3 lbs in Denver and probably put it all back on tonight.  My night at the park was fairly tame: BBQ  Beef Sandwich with fries, a strawberry shake, strawberries and cream, and a couple of beers. I can’t believe I passed by the funnel cake!
