Falcon Heights, Minnesota — People who have a deep love for the Minnesota State Fair may struggle to get through the year between 12-day runs, daydreaming about corn dogs, crop art, and shoulder-to-shoulder lines.
Not to worry, the Great Minnesota Get-Together organizers have you covered. The Fair’s “Kickoff to Summer” returns for the fifth year in a row, serving as an appetizer to help fans survive until late August, when the real deal arrives.
