A couple months ago the MN State Fair announced they were going to do a food parade since there couldn't be a fair this year. It took me 45 minutes to buy tickets online the moment they went on sale. Luckily I got some, and in 2.5 hours they were completely sold out (19,000 tickets). We've been waiting a long time for MN fair food... and today was the day!

Turkey leg, mini donuts, french fries, the best cheese curds in the whole wide world, cotton candy and snow cones, a malt, lemonade (because you can't go to the fair and not get a fresh squeezed lemonade), corn dogs (not pictured) and of course a bucket (or two) of chocolate chip cookies.

We even got to see the mascots drive by twice.

Can't wait until next year!
